This week, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB or Bureau) released its semiannual regulatory agenda, outlining its planned rulemaking initiatives. This agenda includes a mix of rules in the pre-rulemaking, proposed rule, and final rule stages, covering a wide range of topics from medical debt reporting to financial data transparency. The CFPB releases regulatory agendas twice a year in voluntary conjunction with a broader initiative led by the Office of Budget and Management to publish a Unified Agenda of Regulatory and Deregulatory actions across the federal government.
A Texas federal judge has refused to lift the preliminary injunction blocking the CFPB’s enforcement of its final rule that would require larger credit card issuers to lower their late fees to $8 and that would also permit smaller credit card issuers to charge late fees up to $32 for a first violation and up to $43 for a subsequent violation during the next six billing cycles.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) today issued a comprehensive cease-and-desist order (order) against USAA Federal Savings Bank (bank) to require the bank to correct a range of deficiencies. This order replaces prior cease-and-desist orders issued against the bank in 2019 and 2022.
Each year, robocalls account for hundreds of thousands of consumer complaints to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)—more than all other complaints combined. The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), which is administered and enforced by the FCC, requires that callers that use automated dialing systems or prerecorded or artificial voices obtain a call recipient’s prior express written consent before placing calls to the recipient’s wireless number. But a recurring theme in many consumer complaints is that the call recipient cannot remember ever providing their consent.
