Advice from the #CFPB helped me to beat a bad debt that wasn't mine in court (I was my own lawyer). Armed with pertinent questions for the debt owner, I was able to prove that it wasn't my debt. But I wouldn't have been able to do it without that information (not without hiring a lawyer, which could end up costing more than the debt)!
Workers at the CFPB watch hopelessly as the GOP undoes their work
By KEN SWEET
Updated 7:27 AM EDT, July 15, 2025
NEW YORK (AP) — "The lights are on at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau across the street from the White House, and employees still get paid. But, in practice, the bureau has been mostly inoperable for nearly six months. CFPB employees say they essentially spend the workday sitting on their hands, forbidden from doing any work by directive from the White House.
"The bureau is supposed to be helping oversee the nation’s banks and financial services companies and taking enforcement action in case of #wrongdoing. Instead, the situation is Kafkaesque: the main function seems to be undoing the #rulemaking and law enforcement work that was done under previous administrations, including in President Donald Trump’s first term.
"American consumers can no longer look to the bureau for help when it comes to their checking account, credit card, #PaydayLoan, auto loan or #mortgage. Trump has neutered the watchdog, employees say, the culmination of a yearslong effort by Republicans who felt the agency often went overboard in its efforts."
AP News · Workers at the CFPB watch hopelessly as the GOP undoes their workOnce a powerful watchdog for financial wrongdoing, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has seen its enforcement efforts grind to a halt under the Trump administration. Employees report being unable to perform their duties, and investigations into financial misconduct are being undone. Financial institutions like Navy Federal Credit Union and Toyota Financial have had penalties rescinded, leaving harmed customers without restitution. The new budget law passed by Congress earlier this month cuts the CFPB’s funding by roughly half, meaning the bureau will be forced into mass layoffs.

Beware of scammers posing as FEMA officials after disasters! They falsely offer grants or inspections for upfront fees. Remember, FEMA never charges for aid. Protect yourself: verify identities and never pay cash. Stay informed and vigilant!

Consumer Advice · Spot and avoid FEMA impersonatorsScammers know natural disasters create opportunities to take advantage of people. One way they do that is by impersonating Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) officials to steal people’s money and personal information. FEMA impersonators often show up, call, or text people after a weather emergency and offer services like disaster grants or home inspections for a fee, usually cash up front. But these are scams: FEMA doesn’t charge people for disaster assistance.
