FINANCIAL PROTECTION RELATING TO THE WITHDRAWAL OF THE RULE RELATING TO “TRUTH IN LENDING (REGULATION Z); CONSUMER PROTECTIONS FOR HOME SALES
FINANCED UNDER CONTRACTS FOR DEED”—Motion to Proceed
Mr. SCHUMER. I move to proceed to Calendar No. 396, S.J. Res. 149.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report.
The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows:
Motion to proceed to Calendar No. 396, S.J. Res. 149, a
joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval
under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule
submitted by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection
relating to the withdrawal of the rule relating to “Truth in
Lending (Regulation Z); Consumer Protections for Home Sales
Financed Under Contracts for Deed”.
Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau—CFPB—has played a critical role on the side of people to help them avoid junk fees, predatory medical debt, payday lenders who take advantage of people in need, including so many of our military servicemembers.
CFPB—he has always sided with big special interests over average folks—and he has undermined its protections for the American people.
Senate Democrats have made clear time and time again: Donald Trump's policies are one big broken promise in lowering costs to the American people.
authorize it years ago: American consumers need to have someone— someone—in their corner. This is a critical tool to reducing people's everyday costs from healthcare and banking to housing.
my colleagues against the Trump administration's decision to reverse CFPB protections on mortgage lending called contract for deed transactions that without the proper guardrails can devolve into predatory practices against Americans trying to buy a home.
contract for deed can seem like a lifeline, but too often, these arrangements are simply traps.
the taxes, the repairs, the risks—but doesn't receive the deed until they pay every last dollar.
This is a formula for failure. Miss a single payment, and you can lose everything—no equity, no recourse, evicted like a tenant. Mr. President, 200,000 New Yorkers are in this position. We must stop it, and I urge a yes vote.
I yield the floor.
