Specifically, NCRC urged the CFPB to <\/span><b><i>not<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> undercut its ability to protect consumers through (1) dramatic staff reductions, (2) scaled-back HMDA and Section 1071 regulations, (3) limiting its fair lending and other enforcement work and (4) restricting its supervisory work to depository institutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The letter highlights that the draft plan represents a contraction of the CFPB\u2019s mission, vision and values that will potentially harm low- and moderate-income communities, embolden bad actors and allow consumer harms to flourish and remain unaddressed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To read NCRC\u2019s comment letter, visit: <\/span><a
