Zoom Meeting Link
Event Details
The CFPB is actively focusing on financing of optional products, and the FTC recently announced its CARS Rule to “prohibit exploitative junk fees in the car-buying process.” Meanwhile, the federal and state regulators are continuing their coordinated enforcement efforts, and the consumer plaintiffs’ bar is keeping the pressure on. In this session, Julia and Rob will discuss recent developments in government enforcement and consumer litigation, and the implications they may have on the auto finance industry.
