Enforcement actions

CFPB Director Kathy Kraninger faced a barrage of questions from Democrats on the House Financial Services Committee over why the agency has not demanded refunds for consumers in recent settlements.

A list of upcoming cases published by the high court did not include a challenge to the bureau's constitutionality, but the justices could still decide to review it at a later date.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency found deficiencies related to the bank's holding period for "other real estate owned."

A federal judge granted in part and denied in part Ocwen Financial's motion to dismiss Florida regulators' case against the company, the last remaining of 30 state lawsuits filed in 2017.

By declaring that she has too much statutory power, the agency’s director has potentially opened a floodgate of litigation.

If the court agrees to hear the case, its conservative majority could make it easier for a president to fire a CFPB director, though other outcomes are possible.

There were signs Kathy Kraninger would continue a rollback of consent orders and investigations, but many observers see an aggressive approach reminiscent of the Obama era.

The bureau issued three policies removing the threat of legal liability for approved companies that test new products.

Public orders are an effective way to discourage violations of consumer protection law, the bureau's director said at a credit union conference.

A federal judge in Florida dismissed the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's lawsuit against Ocwen Financial Services, stating the agency improperly asserted an excessive number of claims without specifying the particular count to which they applied.
