  Companies may avoid consequences for alleged wrongdoing as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau drops lawsuits against Capital One and Rocket Homes and pauses investigations into Meta and others — including providers of medical credit cards.

The article from ProPublica discusses how the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) under President Trump's administration has shifted its focus from protecting consumers to protecting corporations. It highlights several instances where the CFPB has either delayed or dropped investigations into major companies like Capital One, Rocket Mortgage, Meta (formerly known as Facebook), Carvana, and Greenlight Financial Technology. For example, the CFPB ceased an investigation into Capital One's credit card practices, which could have led to significant consumer refunds. Similarly, investigations into Rocket Mortgage's lending practices, Meta's handling of user data, Carvana's car sales practices, and Greenlight's fee structures were either significantly delayed or abandoned. This shift in policy has been criticized for potentially leaving consumers vulnerable to corporate misconduct, with the CFPB now focusing more on "rulemaking" rather than enforcement actions, thereby reducing the regulatory pressure on these companies.
