The CFPB issued its semi-annual report to Congress. The
report highlighted significant financial product and service issues
consumers faced between April 1, 2019 and September 30, 2019.
According to the CFPB, the two most common consumer issues
regarding financial services concern (i) credit reports and credit
scores, and (ii) access to the consumer credit card market and the
means used to obtain credit.
Additionally, the CFPB stated that its Fair Lending Supervision
program held sixteen events at financial services institutions in
order to encourage compliance with federal laws mandating
"fair, equitable, and nondiscriminatory access to credit for
both individuals and communities." The CFPB reported that it
filed one fair lending public enforcement action over the reporting
period and referred one matter to the DOJ.
