CFPA guide

A legal guide to the Consumer Financial Protection Act and Bureau.

With the passage of the Consumer Financial Protection Act of 2010 and the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Congress has created a federal system of consumer financial services regulation for both banks and nonbank lenders, mortgage originators and servicers, credit reporting agencies, debt collectors and payment and money transmitters. For the first time, nonbanks are subject to intensive, bank-like federal regulation of their consumer financial operations. 

CFPA Guide, edited by Eversheds Sutherland lawyer Knox Dobbins, provides analysis of the Consumer Financial Protection Act, actions and rulemaking by the CFPB and legacy bank regulators, as well as legislative, judicial and other developments in consumer financial services. As background to recent developments, the site includes selected commentary from The Consumer Financial Protection Act of 2010 – An Annotated Guide by Knox Dobbins and Jason Stone (published by North Law Publishers, Inc.).
