Consumer protection is under attack. Support the work of the National Consumer Law Center to defend important consumer protections in Congress, in regulatory agencies, and in the courts.
Donations to the Consumer Law Defense Fund fuel NCLC’s rapid response to aggressive attempts to dismantle hard won progress.
With strategic advocacy and litigation, NCLC is fighting on many fronts:
- NCLC is a plaintiff in a lawsuit challenging the Trump Administration’s illegal effort to shut down the CFPB, along with labor and civil rights organizations.
- UPDATE: U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson granted a preliminary injunction in the case, requiring the CFPB to reinstate fired employees, stop any reductions in force, preserve data and ensure employees can perform their statutorily mandated functions.
- NCLC joined Democracy Forward to defend the CFPB’s Overdraft Fee Rule from a challenge brought by a group of financial institutions.
- UPDATE: Federal court allows motion to intervene
- NCLC is seeking to defend the CFPB’s Medical Debt Rule in two court challenges brought by debt collectors and credit unions.
- NCLC joined an amicus brief in Laboratory Corporation of American Holdings v. Davis, a case before the U.S. Supreme Court that has the potential to hinder federal class action litigation.
- NCLC is fighting Congressional Review Act attempts to repeal important CFPB rules protecting consumers from Overdrafts, Medical Debt on Credit Reports, and fraud in Payment Apps.
- NCLC is arming allies with resources to defend the work of the CFPB.
- NCLC and Public Justice are representing four small business owners and the National Consumers League in their effort to intervene in a lawsuit in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit to defend the “one-to-one consent rule” – a Federal Communications Commission regulation aimed at fighting the robocall epidemic.
- UPDATE: NCLC and Public Justice, on behalf of their clients, asked the 11th Circuit for en banc rehearing to reconsider a three-judge panel’s decision to vacate the FCC’s one-to-one consent rule. In April, the motions were both denied.
- NCLC was a sponsor and organizer of Consumer Advocacy Week, led by Consumer Federation of America, helping advocates from across the country meet virtually with congressional offices in March.
