In her New Year’s message, CFPB Director Kathy Kraninger called on the agency to ensure that consumers are treated fairly and that “the marketplace is innovating.”

The biggest question is whether new CFPB Director Kathy Kraninger will deviate from the pro-industry policies of her predecessor, or bring continuity.

Two groups are asking the agency to restrict collectors to "one live conversation per week" with a borrower and up to three phone attempts per week.

The report released by Sen. Sherrod Brown, a possible presidential contender, said the acting chief has undermined the bureau’s mission.

Kathy Kraninger, who may get a confirmation vote as early as this week, has suggested a similar vision to that of the agency’s current acting chief. But some see signs she could bring a different approach to the job.
