Bailey & Glasser LLP issued the following announcement on April 3.
How will regulatory agencies like the CFPB, FTC, and State Attorneys General react to the consumer financial impacts of COVD-19? How will state and federal law enforcement agencies and consumer litigation address fraudulent schemes already in play, such as garnishing stimulus payments, predatory lending, price gouging and cybercrimes? How will consumer debt obligations including student loans and mortgages be affected?
