I was very lucky.  About 2 and 1/2 years ago I contacted the consumer financial protection bureau and they helped me with a problem with Equifax.  I have never seen Equifax move so quickly to fix something as I did with that complaint.  I was blessed.

The CFPB has been effectively mothballed.  Efforts to defund it have been blocked by the courts, so it limps on under a Director who ensures that its former enforcement activities are at a standstill:

Judge Orders White House to Continue Funding Consumer Watchdog(CFPB).

 

"On Friday, a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to continue indefinitely providing funding to the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). The judge noted that senior administration officials had previously—and unlawfully—cited flawed legal advice as the justification for their refusal to provide funds."

What good is continuing funding the CFPB when it is staffed with nothing but gutless wonders afraid to do what Elizabeth Warren fought so hard to create it to do?

[You can force CFPB funding, but you can't make them spend it on consumer advocacy.]
