CFPB releases Small Entity Compliance Guide on parts of the Payday Rule
On February 20, the CFPB released the Small Entity Compliance Guide covering the payment-related requirements of the Payday, Vehicle Title, and High-Cost Installment Lending Rule, which, among other things, prohibits payday and certain other lenders from making a new attempt to withdraw funds from an account where two consecutive attempts have failed unless consumers consent to further withdrawals. (Detailed coverage on the Rule’s payment provisions available here.)
Notwithstanding the Bureau’s recently issued proposed rulemakings (covered by InfoBytes here), which, if finalized, would rescind certain provisions of the Rule related to underwriting standards and seek to delay the Rule’s compliance date for the underwriting provisions until August 2020, the payment-provisions will take effect August 19, 2019.
