The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is facing renewed scrutiny from the financial industry. The agency has returned $16 billion to victimized consumers, drawing challenges from payday lenders and large banks. Steve Hall told The Hill's Julia Shapero that the CFPB has been a target for years. The CFPB is also examining high-cost specialty financial products, such as medical credit cards and installment loans, marketed to healthcare providers. Additionally, the CFPB has issued warnings against deceptive fine-print tactics targeting consumers and is increasing scrutiny of negative equity in auto lending.
