On March 8, 2023, the CFPB released a special edition of its Supervisory Highlights that reports on unlawful junk fees uncovered in deposit accounts and in multiple loan servicing markets, including in mortgage, student, and payday lending. The said findings were found during examinations between July 1, 2022, and February 1, 2023. According to the CFPB, these unlawful fees corrode family finances, force up families’ banking and borrowing costs, and are not easily avoided, thus the agency is continuously rooting unlawful fees out of consumer financial markets.
