A new era in consumer financial services oversight has begun.  The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is open for business.  It has sweeping, unprecedented regulatory, investigatory, and enforcement authority. And the scope and detail of the restrictions and requirements it will place on mortgage lenders, credit card companies, and service providers to financial institutions continue to unfold.  The CFPB Monitor is a blog focused exclusively on important goings-on at the CFPB, the independent consumer financial regulatory and enforcement agency created by the Dodd-Frank Act.  The blog is produced by members of Ballar Spahr's Consumer Financial Services Group.
