Russell Vought is about to testify before the House Financial Services Committee for an update on the CFPB. He needs to answer for his attempts to dismantle the agency, which has cost American consumers billions due to dropped enforcement actions and abandoned rulemaking efforts.

The Banking Committee Minority Staff calculated that the Trump Administration’s attack on the CFPB has cost American consumers $19 billion. They analyzed documents from the CFPB, reports by other federal agencies, and publicly available data, breaking down the costs to consumers into four major categories:

The Trump Administration permanently dismissed at least 22 enforcement actions to redress more than $3.5 billion in alleged harm to consumers, $3.5 billion of potential restitution that would have gone directly into Americans’ bank accounts. This number includes only the enforcement actions with decided monetary amounts – the Trump Administration dropped additional cases against big financial institutions and giant corporations that likely would have resulted in billions more being returned to Americans.
The Trump Administration dropped, reduced, or failed to distribute payments from 23 settlements or consent orders against companies—including repeat offenders—that cost consumers up to $225 million.
The Trump Administration, working with Republicans in Congress, rescinded CFPB rules and guidance that could have saved consumers up to $15 billion in overdraft fees and credit card late fees.
The CFPB gutted its Consumer Complaint Program, which likely cost $40 million in direct consumer relief.

This illegal forced relocation is another attempt in Vought’s yearslong crusade to drive workers out of public service and close the CFPB. Instead of pardoning corporate criminals and shrinking CFPB’s nationwide presence to just DC, we demand a CFPB that values its workers and serves all Americans.
