More than a month after the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau announced it would transfer open legal matters to the Justice Department, the agency’s remaining enforcement cases haven’t gone anywhere, agency attorneys said.
“Nothing has happened. At least, nothing has been told to us,” CFPB enforcement attorney Vanessa Buchko, who resigned on Friday, told NOTUS.
Attorneys in the CFPB’s enforcement division, which investigates and litigates violations of consumer protection laws, said they have received no communication from leadership about transferring their caseload since they were informed of the shakeup on a Nov. 20 Teams call.
