“It’s really dishonest advertising. These products advertise themselves as having 0 APR. Earned wage access products are just payday loans with a fintech veneer,” said Andrew Kushner, a policy counsel for the Center for Responsible Lending. #StopTheDebtTrap

Trapping Hoosiers who are struggling to make ends meet in a revolving cycle of 300%+ APR loans needs to end. #StopTheDebtTrap

Giant corporations aren’t deterred from breaking consumer protection laws in the same way smaller companies are. Big Banks, Big Pharma, Big Tech treat federal regulators’ sanctions as part of the cost of doing business.

As soon as tomorrow, #SCOTUS could decide to hear Big Business's challenge to the CFPB's funding structure.

Corporate fraudsters are hoping the Court sides with them, gutting the Bureau and other vital regulators.

We must #DefendCFPB — not defund it.

.@CFPB has earned broad bipartisan support from the people in its mission to #ProtectConsumers.

Now we must defend its funding so that it can continue its fight against predatory lending. #DefendCFPB #SCOTUS

Over the last ten years, the @CFPB has secured around $15 billion in monetary relief to consumers harmed by predatory financial practices! #DefendCFPB so that they can continue their #FinancialFairness mission. #ProtectConsumers #SCOTUS

[Center for Responsible Lending @CRLONLINE]

Would you take away the funding from the team that won wronged consumers BILLIONS in relief and continues to work every day to create #FinancialFairness for us all? #DefendCFPB #SCOTUS

Overdraft fees act as a punishment for being financially insecure. Almost 80% of overdraft fee revenue comes from just 9% of accounts, with a median balance of $350! Tell your member of Congress to #ProtectConsumers NOW! Click here: https://t.co/l6fCbRDDIQ

Overdraft fees made the biggest banks billions in 2021—and boosted the profits of smaller ones https://t.co/5qb50PsvKY via @BBGVisualData

[Center for Responsible Lending @CRLONLINE]

Many families are still getting hammered with overdraft fees. Legislation from @RepMaloney would limit the cost of each overdraft fee and how frequently they could be charged. Congress should send this bill to the president’s desk.

Happy 11th birthday, @CFPB! The CFPB uses all of the regulatory tools at its disposal to #ProtectConsumers, from rulemaking to enforcement. Just last week, the CFPB launched a suit against predatory lender @ACECash. Thank you, @CFPB! #StopTheDebtTrap

Yesterday, our partners joined with @RepMaloney, @SenBooker, and @SenWarren to urge Congress to advance the Overdraft Protection Act and end predatory fees that hurt the most vulnerable.

[U.S. PIRG @uspirg]

We joined @RepMaloney, @SenBooker, and @SenWarren for a press conference urging overdraft protections. @MikeLittUSA: Financial institutions rake in billions of dollars a year from these overly punitive overdraft fees, which mostly penalize customers with the least money to lose.

If @POTUS cancels student debt, millions of hardworking Americans will get the chance to start their own businesses, buy their first homes, and save for retirement. Let's get this done.

No 86-year-old should fear for her safety at the grocery store.

No 9-year-old should be afraid to go to school.

And no 18-year-old should be able to buy a weapon of war.
