The agency announced a new lineup for the Consumer Advisory Board after having fired its previous members and those of two other panels.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Elijah Cummings have called for an update on probes into the credit reporting giant a year after its massive data breach came to light.

Kathy Kraninger has been tight-lipped about her plans for the consumer bureau, but some point to signs that she could curb the agency's power by reducing staff and other costs.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau issued an interpretive rule Friday to clarify changes made to the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act that were mandated by President Trump's regulatory relief law.

Seth Frotman, whose student lending unit had been gutted in May, said the bureau's current leadership "has abandoned its duty to fairly and robustly enforce the law.”

The senator's proposed legislation includes a ban on individual stock ownership and restrictions on government employees joining the lobbying ranks.

Several states pledged to compensate for a slowdown in enforcement at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau under Mick Mulvaney, but their efforts have been complicated by tight budgets and doubts over whether such initiatives are necessary.

The letter from lawmakers to the bureau follows a report that the agency does not view the exams as explicitly required by the law.

Allied Progress, a consumer watchdog, sued the CFPB and the OMB on Wednesday for failing to respond to a request for documents on Kathy Kraninger, President Trump's nominee to lead the CFPB.

An uptick in fines and a new tactic to counter claims about the CFPB’s authority contrast sharply with the agency’s rhetoric.

The nominee to run the consumer bureau endured tough questioning over the administration’s family-separation policy but appeared to weather the barrage.
