Consumer Finance MonitorProminent Journalist, David Dayen, Describes his Reporting on the Efforts of Trump 2.0 to Curb CFPBToday’s podcast show features a discussion with David Dayen, executive editor of the American Prospect, which is an online magazine about ideas, politics, and power. He's the author of “Chain of Title: How Three Ordinary Americans Uncovered Wall Street's Great Foreclosure Fraud,” which was published in 2016. David has written and published about 10 or so articles in which he chronicles in great detail the apparent effort by the Trump Administration, acting through Scott Bessent and Russell Vought, to dismantle the CFPB by abruptly ordering a cessation of all activities and layoffs of probationary and term employees and a plan to lay...2025-04-031h 00
Consumer Finance Monitor“Accidental Arbitration” -- A New Theory that Would Rein in Consumer Arbitration Clauses and the Scope of the FAAOur special guest is David Horton, Professor of Law at the University of California, Davis, who has written a creative and thought-provoking article analyzing how courts should interpret certain key provisions that are frequently used in consumer arbitration agreements. The article may be accessed online at SSRN and will be published in the Washington University Law Review later this year. Prof. Horton first contends that courts have misinterpreted the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) as requiring arbitration clauses to be construed broadly, which in many cases forces consumers to arbitrate disputes they never agreed to because the dispute i...2025-03-061h 02

Consumer Finance MonitorA Close Look at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s Proposed Rules on Overdraft and Nonsufficient Funds FeesOur special guest is David Pommerehn, SVP, General Counsel, Head of Regulatory Affairs at the Consumer Bankers Association. In January 2024, the CFPB proposed two new rules: one restricting overdraft fees and the other prohibiting NSF fees on certain declined transactions.

In this episode, which repurposes a recent webinar, we discuss the key provisions of each proposal and entities covered, the CFPB’s justification for each proposal, the legal authority relied on by the CFPB for each proposal, business practices impacted by the pro...2024-04-1151 min

Consumer Finance MonitorProhibited by Law and Totally Ineffective—Just Two of the Many Reasons Why the CFPB Should Deny the Petition for Rulemaking on Post-Dispute Consumer Arbitration AgreementsOur special guest is David Sherwyn, Professor of Law at Cornell University's School of Hotel Administration. In Sept. 2023, a group of consumer advocate organizations filed a Petition for Rulemaking with the CFPB that would prohibit the use of pre-dispute arbitration clauses in consumer contracts in favor of arbitration clauses that would permit consumers to choose between arbitration and litigation only after a dispute has arisen. In response, the CFPB indicated it is carefully considering the petition, and will be opening a public docket and taking comment from the public on the petition. We first discuss the results...2023-11-161h 03
