Recent CFPB Actions Mean Less Choice for ConsumersCase Updates
Eastern District of Texas vacates CFPB’s recent update to its Unfair, Deceptive, or Abusive Acts or Practices section of its examination manual as unlawful and enjoins CFPB from applying the challenged interpretation to Plaintiffs’ members
September 08, 2023
The Eastern District of Texas ruled that the CFPB acted outside its authority granted by Congress when it updated its Supervision and Examination manual for financial institutions. The district court also ruled that the CFPB’s funding mechanism was unconstitutional. The court vacated the manual update and prohibited the CFPB from pursuing any action against any Chamber members based on that update.
Had it been allowed to stand, the CFPB’s update would have created confusion in the banking sector, limiting its ability to provide needed services to businesses and consumers.
