Allied Progress Has Suggestions for CFPB Director Kraninger As She Reevaluates Exam Process
Reaction from Derek Martin, director of consumer watchdog group Allied Progress: “While she’s looking under the hood for ways to make examinations easier on industry, perhaps Director Kraninger will consider reinstating the Military Lending Act as a part of supervisory exams, which 33 state Attorneys General have asked her to do. Kraninger may think it’s the CFPB’s job to educate before they enforce, but service members and other consumers are counting on the Director to hold bad actors accountable and put a stop to predatory behavior. Thus far, her record on both counts is lacking.”
