Why Rules On Data Scammers and Credit Card Fees May Be the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's Swansong

The article from Inc.com discusses the potential changes in regulations by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) under the Trump administration, focusing on how these changes might affect consumers. It highlights the CFPB's recent actions, including a proposal to limit credit card late fees, which could save consumers billions annually. However, with the change in administration, there's uncertainty about the future of the CFPB, especially given its history of being a target for deregulation by Republicans. The article mentions that the CFPB has been actively addressing issues like data scammers, credit card fees, and payday lending, but these efforts might be curtailed or altered. There's a concern that the CFPB could be dismantled or significantly weakened, potentially leading to less consumer protection in financial services. This could be the "swansong" for the CFPB's aggressive consumer protection initiatives as political winds shift.
