📢 Supporting the CFPB's Move to Remove Medical Debt from Credit Reports 📢 OCJ stands with over 100 organizations backing the CFPB's proposed rule to ban medical debt from credit reports. This crucial step would prevent unfair damage to credit scores and protect consumers from abusive collection practices. It's especially important for lower-income individuals and people of color who are disproportionately impacted by medical debt. We fully support the CFPB's efforts to create a fairer, more accurate credit reporting system and urge the finalization of this rule. #ConsumerProtection #CFPB #MedicalDebt #FairCredit #OCJ #NCLC #OregonConsumerJustice
