CFPB to Review Forced Arbitration Clauses, Reports LA Consumer Protection Lawyer

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is collecting public comment about the impact of clauses that limit consumers’ access to the courts.

This story about the CFPB seeking input on how forced arbitration clauses affect the public really grasps the issue. The CFPB has the power to intervene to protect the public from companies who have consumers sign away their rights in favor of arbitration funded by the company that harmed them. Bias aside, there is no reason to end the bad behavior when thousands of customers are cheated out of small amounts of money but can’t join forces to fight, adds Carey Been LA consumer protection lawyer.

Finally, a spotlight will be shined on a widespread business practice that forces unhappy customers to settle disputes through binding arbitration — rather than by telling their story in court.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau now is seeking public input about mandatory arbitration clauses in the contracts of financial products and services. More important, the board has the power to limit or even eliminate the clauses if they hurt consumers.
