Overview

  • The injunction prevents the CFPB's $8 late fee cap from taking effect on May 14.
  • The rule aimed to reduce excessive fees, potentially saving Americans $12 billion annually.
  • Banks and business groups argue the cap would raise costs for responsible credit card users.
  • The Supreme Court will soon rule on the constitutionality of the CFPB's funding.
  • The decision is a significant setback for Biden's broader campaign against 'junk fees.'
