Rules of Practice for Adjudication Proceedings; Rescission
Summary
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is proposing to eliminate its existing rules for how it conducts hearings and legal proceedings against companies it investigates. This change would simplify the process for resolving disputes between the CFPB and financial companies, but it could affect how fairly consumers are represented in these cases.
Key Points
- 1The CFPB wants to cancel its current rulebook that governs how adjudication hearings are conducted, which are formal legal proceedings to resolve disputes
- 2This affects financial companies and lenders that are investigated by the CFPB for potentially breaking consumer protection laws
- 3Removing these detailed rules could make proceedings faster and less formal, but may reduce certain protections for companies being investigated
- 4The public has until June 13, 2025 to submit comments on whether this is a good idea
- 5If approved, the CFPB would have more flexibility in how it runs these hearings, but there may be fewer standard procedures to follow
