CFPB moves to finalize rules before Trump can 'delete' the agency
Briefly

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is moving ahead with new rules aimed at protecting consumers as a response to the incoming Trump administration's likely overhaul of the agency.
CFPB director Rohit Chopra is considering finalizing a ban on medical debt in credit reports and imposing restrictions on data brokers, signaling ongoing regulatory efforts despite the political transition.
The CFPB's decision to continue rulemaking contradicts the stance of congressional Republicans and emphasizes its independence, with ongoing efforts to address issues such as overdraft fees and paycheck advances.
