Your Compliance Management Plan
Understanding the impact of the CFPB's 2022 Enforcement and Supervision priorities for Consumer Finance, Credit and Collections.
The CFPB’s New Director Rohit Chopra has set out a trail of breadcrumbs via remarks, social media posts, bulletins, blogs, and press releases as to how the Bureau plans to proceed with supervising and enforcing business processes in consumer finance, credit, and collections - among other areas.
For example, the CFPB has tightened up its enforcement procedures, updated the exam procedures for debt collections and UDAAP, and issued a statement connecting the No Surprises Act to the FDCPA.
Meanwhile, since issuing its July 2021 resolution, the Federal Trade Commission has been regulating and conducting investigations in the healthcare space and the Department of Veteran Affairs also announced sweeping changes to collections and credit reporting. All the while, states actively look at consumer financial and privacy protection issues.
This recorded webinar features panelists Joann Needleman, a member at Clark Hill Law leading the firm’s financial services regulatory and compliance practice, and Leslie Bender, senior counsel at Clark Hill who counsels financial services and healthcare clients on a broad range of privacy, data security, and consumer financial protection laws.
