The District of Columbia Circuit has granted the National Treasury Employees Union’s request for en banc rehearing of its lawsuit against CFPB Acting Director Russell Vought.

Credit repair organizations are influencing consumers to file complaints with the CFPB in an attempt to remove negative, even if accurate, data from their credit reports, according to the Consumer Data Industry Association.

Consumer advocates said the proposed changes will make it even more difficult for underserved markets to access credit, particularly people of color that continue to experience redlining and lending discrimination.
