Bureau wants credit oversight
News and Observer: WASHINGTON -- The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau wants to place debt collectors and credit bureaus under federal supervision for the first time, after an explosion in complaints about their practices.
The bureau announced a proposed rule Thursday that would make the largest debt-collection agencies and credit-reporting agencies - including Experian, Equifax and TransUnion - subject to the same oversight process that banks are. It's the agency's most ambitious proposal since its creation under the controversial 2010 Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
