CPFB-Consumer Protectoin Financial Bureau Lacks Transparency

Tuesday, August 6, 2013
by Liz Warren

The CPFB was created after the Wall Street implosion to help protect consumers from financial transactions including mortgages. In the process, strict mortgage qualifications were developed so loans that would be packaged were solid (no liar loans) and these loans were called Qualified Mortgages. If a qualified mortgage failed it would give the right to the consumer to sue the lender in the event of foreclosure.  These rules for qualified mortgages were written by the CPFB.

After the Qualified Mortgage package was passed in January 2013, the director of CPFB, Raj Date, left to "spend more time with his family" and several months later created an investment advisory company called Fenway Summer LLC to make loans to people who did not qualify for the "qualified mortgage". He also hired many former CPFB employees setting his company up to make billions in future loans.

The CPFB didn't raise any alarms at what happened in their own backyard. Read the letter from the Committee of Oversight on Government Reform and the Committee on Financial Services sent out July 31st. to the current chair of the department.

Look for further news on this story in the next several months.
