@POTUS Don’t let a bank saddle working families with 300% APR loans. Tell @USOCC AMD @federalreserve to deny predator Enova’s national bank application.
President Trump has said that 30% APR credit cards are too expensive. Will the Trump administration green light up to 300% APR loans from Enova? The @USOCC and @FederalReserve must stop predatory lender Enova from becoming a national bank. #ProtectConsumers

Thank you @EconActionMD for gathering community leaders and legislators today to fight for an affordability agenda. Rohit @ChopraUSA delivered a powerful keynote including calling out payday loan apps.

Thank you, Sen. Kramer, for standing against the predatory HB1294 that conflicts with years of protecting voters from similar payday loans. The @MDSenate@MDSenateGOP should vote no on HB1294! #StopTheDebtTrap
Good question, @SenatorATW. Why didn’t the committee consider amendments to HB1294 that rein in tips and cap monthly costs to consumers? Thank you for your work to #StopTheDebtTrap
CRL is working to #ProtectConsumers from predatory practices in solar financing. Now @FTC, @CFPB, @USTreasury have announced an interagency partnership to root out unfair and deceptive practices in the industry. Read our new report and stay informed: https://t.co/sPXygADPbY
@lsaundersnclc@NCLC4consumers “The idea behind the [@CFPB] is not that we need a bunch of new consumer protection laws. We have a lot of laws, they’re just scattered among more than a half a dozen agencies. The enforcement of those laws was nobody’s first job,” @SenWarren, the chief architect of the agency.
“There are a number of CFPB enforcement cases that have been put on hold,” said @LSaundersNCLC, associate director @NCLC4consumers, noting the industry has been “extremely aggressive in pushing back against any regulation or legislation that would curtail the abuses.”
“They are moving in several ways at once to eliminate the cop on the beat — or the effectiveness of the cop on the beat — to keep people from being trapped in unaffordable debt,” said Ellen Harnick @EHarnick, EVP CRL, a nonprofit that has advocated for the @CFPB.
If payday lenders are so important that the Supreme Court would torpedo the financial system, then WE OBJECT!
As long as payday lenders can supersede our rights, WE WILL OBJECT!

Promising a Supreme Court decision that invalidates @CFPB funding won't imperil Medicare, the Fed, FDIC, or other similarly funded agencies is as reassuring as an arsonist claiming your office won’t be hurt when he incinerates the adjoining building.
