Three sources say... Mulvaney, the new CFPB chief, has not ordered
subpoenas against Equifax or sought sworn testimony from executives,
routine steps when launching a full-scale probe. Meanwhile the CFPB has
shelved plans for on-the-ground tests of how Equifax protects data, an
idea backed by Cordray.
The CFPB also recently rebuffed bank regulators at the Federal
Reserve, Federal Deposit Insurance Corp and Office of the Comptroller of
the Currency when they offered to help with on-site exams of credit
bureaus, said two sources familiar with the matter.
Equifax has said it is under investigation by every state attorney general and faces more than 240 class action lawsuits.
The Federal Trade Commission is examining the breach and the company
may face financial penalties. The last time the FTC penalized a major
credit bureau was in 2012, a $393,000 settlement with Equifax.
