The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) recently issued a circular to law enforcement agencies and regulators, highlighting how broad nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) could violate whistleblower protections under Section 1057 of the Consumer Financial Protection Act (CFPA). These agreements, if not carefully worded, may deter employees from reporting misconduct or cooperating with investigations, thus undermining the CFPB’s enforcement efforts.
We have recently blogged about two other actions in which this issue has been raised (one being a declaratory judgment action filed against the CFPB on July 23, 2024 in the E.D. Tex. and the other being an enforcement actionfiled in the N.D. Tex. in which a motion to dismiss was filed on July 31, 2024).
