10 Things Elizabeth Warrens Consumer Protection Agency Has Done for You
The new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is already shielding Americans from shady dealings by mortgage lenders, student loan servicers, and credit card companies.
The new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is already shielding Americans from shady dealings by mortgage lenders, student loan servicers, and credit card companies.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), the watchdog agency conceived of and established by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) in the wake of the financial crisis, had a hard time getting on its feet. The GOP tried everything it could to hobble the bureau, but to no avail. Over the past couple of years, the CFPB has issued dozens of protections shielding consumers from shady practices by mortgage lenders, student loan servicers, and credit card companies. Here are ten things the CFPB, which was created in 2011, has done to protect the little guy:
1. Mortgage lenders can no longer push you into a high-priced loan:
2. New homeowners are less likely to be hit by foreclosure:
3. If you are are delinquent on your mortgage payments, loan servicers have to try harder to help you avoid foreclosure:
4. Millions of Americans get a low-cost home loan counselor:
5. Borrowers with high-cost mortgages get an outside eye:
6. Fly-by-night financial players will be held accountable:
7. Folks scammed by credit card companies get refunds:
8. Student lenders face scrutiny:
9. Service members get extra protection:
10. Consumers get a help center:

Fact is, Warren does not just talk the talk, she walks the walk. This was her baby to protect the little guy. WDBD?
Love my Senator!
