In the September/October issue of Non-Prime Times, the official publication of the National Automotive Finance Association, Partner Eric Johnson explains why the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, now re-born as the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (“Bureau”), is still very much alive and kicking.
