"Every year, Americans lose billion$ to unfair financial practices. For Debra, that abstract number became a shocking reality with an alert for nearly $2,000 in unauthorized charges. She immediately contacted her credit card company, like you’re supposed to. Months went by before she got another shock: The company was holding her responsible. She reached out again, but their fraud department seemed uninterested, adversarial and focused on passing blame.
.
That’s when Debra asked the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to join the fight, filing a claim with the agency. In about one day, the CFPB had stepped in. In about one week, the company dropped the charges from her bill.
.
Millions of people have been helped by the CFPB, the government partner for consumers navigating the financial marketplace. Despite that vital role, we’ve seen several recent acts to gut the agency. With its mission helping so many, our leaders must stand up for this critical consumer watchdog."
