Consumer protection case where Oregon AG sued the Trump administration to prevent defunding of the CFPB, arguing it would harm consumers and state enforcement efforts. The CFPB provides critical data and complaint handling for financial consumer protection.
Seeking a court injunction to prevent the defunding of CFPB and to require the agency to request funding from the Federal Reserve as mandated by law.
In-house legal teams should review vendor, customer, and data processing agreements with financial institutions for clauses mandating compliance with CFPB regulations, including consumer complaint management, data sharing with regulators, and cooperation with enforcement actions. Specific clauses to examine involve provisions for submitting complaint data to federal agencies, adhering to financial product rules, and contributing to victims relief funds. Given the potential defunding of CFPB, contracts may require amendments to incorporate state-level consumer protection standards, clarify alternative reporting mechanisms, and ensure continuity of compliance obligations if federal oversight shifts.
