Compliance
Overview of CFPB’s Role
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) was established to protect consumers from unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts by financial institutions. Since its inception in 2011, the CFPB has significantly intensified its regulatory oversight, making compliance essential for lenders and service providers within the automotive asset recovery, remarketing, and lease-end management sectors. Understanding the CFPB's ongoing influence is critical for businesses operating in this landscape.
