The National Association for Latino Community Asset Builders (NALCAB) has filed its
combined opposition to the motions of the CFPB and the Consumer Financial Services Association (CFSA) to dismiss NALCAB’s lawsuit challenging the CFPB’s rescission of the “ability-to-repay” (ATR) or “mandatory underwriting provisions” in its 2017 final payday/auto title/high-rate installment loan rule (2017 Rule).

Under new leadership, the CFPB may seek to require that payday lenders assess a borrower’s ability to pay. And even absent such a requirement, the CFPB may pursue enforcement actions against lenders for lending that the CFPB considers “predatory” and/or “unfair,” and therefore putatively in violation of the Consumer Financial Protection Act of 2010 (“CFPA”).
