States Up Their Game in Consumer Financial Protection: Standing Doctrines, AGs Filling the Void, CFPB Challenges, and More

You’ve read about federal courts dismissing statutory claims for lack of actual damages and Article III standing. You may have assumed these statutory-damages-only TCPA, FCRA, and FACTA cases would just proceed in state court where standing can’t be a bar. But some state courts are finding lack of standing in these matters too. Consumer advocates are pressuring state attorneys general to act to fill the void, and that call is being answered. And we’re likely to see more of it as the CFPB faces scrutiny and pushback in the wake of challenges to its authority over discrimination and its funding structure.

Join Dykema for an update on what’s been happening in the states, and how state regulators are reacting as the headlines about big federal cases fade away. We will prepare you for what’s next on these fronts as an era of AG consortiums, joint task forces, and federal-state partnership kicks off in earnest.
