Troutman Pepper Insight: Fifth Circuit Extends Stay on CFPB Payday Loans
|
On October 14, the Fifth Circuit issued a one paragraph order to extend a stay on Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) payday lending regulations currently challenged by the Community Financial Services Association of America Ltd. and the Consumer Service Alliance of Texas. The stay will allow small dollar lenders to postpone the June 2022 compliance date.
Originally passed in 2017, the rule has faced persistent challenges. In 2020, a portion of the rule was repealed, which required payday lenders to assess borrowers’ ability to repay loans. Industry groups continue to challenge the rule, which limits how many times lenders can attempt to debit payments from borrowers’ bank accounts.
