AFR Statement on Report Mulvaney Backing Away from Equifax Probe

“Mulvaney is going easy on Wells Fargo and predatory payday lenders, and now we have fresh evidence of another terrible move: Mick Mulvaney wants to let Equifax off the hook for its reckless abuse and negligence that may have a lasting impact on millions of Americans. It’s one more reason why it’s so important to have someone with a track record of protecting consumers running the CFPB, not someone who wants to destroy its work. There are billions of dollars at stake for families and communities across the country.”
