While the agency holds vast control over the personal choices of everyday Americans, it is disgracefully unaccountable—even by Washington’s standards. “Consumers must be protected from an agency with so much power over the kinds of checking accounts, credit cards, and mortgages families can and cannot use. Americans deserve choices, competition and transparent markets, not command-and-control bureaucracies. That’s exactly why we’re working to enact responsible checks and balances that will hold the CFPB accountable and serve consumers best.” Background: Today, the Financial Services Committee held a markup of the following CFPB reform bills: · H.R. 2385, the CFPB Pay Fairness Act of 2013 · H.R. 2446, the Responsible Consumer Financial Protection Regulations Act of 2013 · H.R. 2571, the Consumer Right to Financial Privacy Act of 2013 · H.R. 3183, a bill to provide consumers with a free annual disclosure of information the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection maintains on them. · H.R. 3193, the Consumer Financial Protection Safety and Soundness Improvement Act of 2013 · H.R. 3519, the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection Accountability and Transparency Act of 2013 | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
