Since the formation of the CFPB in 2010, the Bureau has taken on the biggest banks, including those that open thousands of phony accounts, payday lenders that charge 200% or more in interest, abusive debt collectors, the credit bureaus, student loan servicers, and other irresponsible lenders.
The CFPB’s success has been undeniable in getting these entities to clean up their practices and refrain from abusing and overcharging consumers. The CFPB has recovered nearly $12 billion from these financial institutions to redress these abuses, making the CFPB one of the most efficient government agencies.
