NEW YORK (AP) — The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has paused several legal proceedings against companies such as Capital One and Rocket Homes, shortly after transitioning to new leadership amidst chaotic changes within the agency resulting from directives issued by the Trump administration.

On Thursday, the CFPB filed notices to voluntarily dismiss lawsuits previously initiated against Capital One, Rocket Homes, Vanderbilt Mortgage and Finance—a subsidiary of Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway—and others.

These lawsuits were originally filed under the previous CFPB leadership of Rohit Chopra, who was recently dismissed by President Donald Trump just weeks ago. The CFPB has since been mired in turmoil, following a directive from the White House to cease nearly all activities, including closing its headquarters and attempting to terminate multiple employees.

Trump has maintained that his administration’s actions against the CFPB are justified, describing the agency as being “designed to harm individuals.” In contrast, advocates for the agency emphasize its vital role in safeguarding consumers against exploitative practices.

Trump appointed Jonathan McKernan, a former member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation board, to lead the agency. He underwent a Senate committee hearing on Thursday.

The CFPB is responsible for establishing regulations and enforcing measures to shield consumers from unfair, deceptive, or abusive business practices. Since its inception, the CFPB claims to have secured nearly $20 billion in financial relief for American consumers, which includes canceled debts, compensation, and loan reductions.

The CFPB’s legal actions typically involve banks, mortgage servicers, credit card issuers, student loan companies, payday lenders, money transfer services, credit bureaus, and debt collection agencies.

Last month, before Trump assumed office, the CFPB took legal action against Capital One, claiming the bank misled customers regarding high-interest savings accounts, accusing it of depriving customers of over $2 billion in lost interest. Additionally, in its January 6 lawsuit Vanderbilt Mortgage was accused of facilitating unaffordable loans for manufactured homes. Moreover, the CFPB’s December complaint against Rocket Homes alleged a scheme aimed at unlawfully directing potential borrowers to Rocket Mortgage, which is affiliated with the same parent company.

However, all these cases will now be dismissed following Thursday’s announcements. The legal documents related to the Rocket Homes case indicate that the “Consumer Financial Protection Bureau dismisses this action, with prejudice, against all Defendants,” meaning the case cannot be reopened. A similar phrasing was applied in the dismissals of the CFPB’s cases against Capital One and Vanderbilt Mortgage.

In a statement released on Thursday, Rocket Homes expressed satisfaction regarding the dismissal and remarked that “it is refreshing to see the truth acknowledged.” The company characterized the lawsuit as “a baseless claim initiated by former CFPB director Chopra merely to gain media attention in his final days in office.”

Capital One also welcomed the CFPB’s decision, stating that it had “strongly contested” the lawsuit brought against it. The Associated Press has also contacted Vanderbilt Mortgage for additional comments.

Furthermore, the CFPB is not the sole federal agency to scale back former enforcement measures under the new administration. For instance, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has recently closed or paused legal actions against numerous cryptocurrency platforms, indicating a more lenient approach to crypto regulation under Trump.

This month, Binance and the SEC jointly requested to delay its prominent lawsuit against the crypto exchange. Simultaneously, Coinbase and Robinhood revealed that their respective cases had also been dismissed or resolved, though the SEC has not provided further comments at this time.
