Asset & Opportunity Network: House Committee Attacks Financial Protection

House Committee Attacks Financial Protection Refute unfounded stories that the CFPB is hurting consumers. Despite having proven its worth as an effective watchdog for public interest, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is under attack. Last week, the House Committee on Financial Services released an online survey asking people to weigh in with stories about how the CFPB is hurting the public. These unfounded claims suggest that business as usual in Washington is best for America. We know the real value of consumer financial protection. We need to tell those stories! As our partners at Americans for Financial Reform put it in their announcement, “We can’t let the industry win. What the Committee should hear is the real story about financial abuses that impact Americans.” Do you have 5 minutes? If so, share a story about how the CFPB has helped you or the clients you serve. The CFPB is a positive force in the financial marketplace, so please take a moment and tell the House Committee the side of the story it doesn’t want to hear. Thank you for all you do to protect consumers in the financial marketplace, today and every day. Want to share your story with us or send other feedback? Email assetsandopportunity@cfed.org.
