The Mortgage Bankers Association said it believes the CFPB's complaint database would be most effective if it functioned as a “secondary escalation mechanism,” available after a consumer has attempted to resolve the issue directly with the company.
Industry attorneys said it looks like the full DC Circuit will send the National Treasury Employees Union lawsuit against the CFPB back to the district court, mandating a revision of the preliminary injunction.
The Mortgage Bankers Association said the CFPB consumer database should not act as an alternative to leaving reviews on Google, Yelp or the Better Business Bureau.
Consumer advocates said Texas-based developer Colony Ridge’s $68 million proposed settlement with the DOJ and the state’s AG doesn’t provide relief for the harmed consumers.
