Trends & Predictions for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau 2019 - 2020

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, created as part of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street reforms in response to the recession of 2007-2008, has been credited with issuing regulations that have cracked down on predatory lending, abusive consumer debt litigation, and unsustainable banking practices. However, it has also been criticized for overburdening the financial sector and unfair practices of its own. With its second permanent director now duly installed, will the CFPB behave differently than it has in the past?
