Big Government Moves into Debt Collection – Part III
Today the CFPB once again showed they do not mess around. They fined Wells Fargo $185m for creating a half a million credit card accounts without customer authorization.

When I started working for Chrysler Credit Thirty-Four years ago today, there were no rules centered around the acquisition of public record data, or how it was used. The FDCPA was released in 1977, but I don’t recall hearing that term until at least the mid 80s. The word compliance was not a part of […]
