Consumer Protection Regulation

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was created to ensure strong consumer protections, but the agency has been under attack since its inception. The Federal Trade Commission’s powers have been weakened, and the ability of all regulatory agencies to adopt robust consumer protections is regularly under threat. NCLC fights for protections against unfair, deceptive, and abusive practices and for a strong consumer regulation framework.
