The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has ordered a credit reporting agency to pay $15 million for mishandling consumer disputes. This enforcement action highlights ongoing concerns regarding consumer protection in the financial sector. Additionally, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has released findings indicating that retailers frequently utilize personal data, including location and browsing habits, to set individualized prices for goods and services. This practice raises questions about price discrimination based on consumer surveillance. The FTC is also taking action against deceptive advertising practices related to residential lease pricing, with a particular focus on hidden fees charged to renters. Furthermore, a Texas homeowners association (HOA) has been charged with racial discrimination for prohibiting renters who receive government housing assistance, a case that underscores the ongoing issues of discrimination in housing markets.
