Troutman Pepper attorneys Brooke Conkle and Chris Capurso helm this episode to discuss the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's (CFPB) recent annual report on consumer complaints for 2023. Although the report primarily focuses on consumer reporting, it includes an auto-finance section for those involved in auto loans and leases. Out of 1.6 million total complaints only 17,000 to 18,000 were directed toward auto finance-related issues; however, Brooke and Chris highlight some key takeaways. The bottom line: The CFPB pursues auto finance actions, and the most effective way to gain insight into the Bureau's thinking is to examine the issues highlighted in the complaint report and ensure your processes are properly prepared.
