Today, the Fifth Circuit will hear oral argument about the @FTC CARS Rule after auto dealer groups sued to stop the Rule from becoming law. #CARSRule will save consumers thousands of hours and billions of dollars by requiring honest, up-front car pricing.

Do you know anyone who is actually a consumer who loves #JunkFees ?

“When consumers can easily see the up-front costs of these high-APR credit cards instead of hidden back-end junk fees, they will think twice before taking out these cards," said @lsaundersnclc. #ProtectConsumers #DefendCFPB #JunkFees nclc.org/synchronys-planned-…

Lowering credit card late fees will save consumers more than $10 billion dollars, but the House Financial Services Committee could vote to reject this rule today. This decision will negatively impact low-income and Latino consumers. consumerfinance.gov/about-us…

142 groups support @CFPB's proposed overdraft rule to prevent big banks from charging #junkFees that push people out of the banking system.
“Banks should not be allowed to harm families by hiding their costs in back-end junk fees." #ProtectConsumers

Matt Swanson, political strategist for the SEIU Oregon State Council, applauded the bill’s passage.
"We have been calling on policymakers on behalf of hospital workers, and patients more broadly, to ease the burden of medical debt and offer true access to available assistance,” Swanson said. “Now when debts are sent to collections that should have otherwise been forgiven, consumers will have the ability to fight back. Everyday Oregonians who came forward to talk about the hardest moments of their life, being pushed to the brink of losing housing or filing bankruptcy, can breathe a little easier with the passage of SB 1595."
Senate Bill 1595, called the Family Financial Protection Act, protects more of a person's wages and bank account when they're trying to repay debt. bizjournals.com/portland/new…
