Abstract:
Federal agencies and private litigants use the records to ascertain whether accurate and complete disclosures of EFT services and other required actions (for example, error resolution and limitation of consumer liability for unauthorized transfers) have been provided. This information will provide the primary evidence of law violations in EFTA enforcement actions brought by the CFPB. Without the Regulation E recordkeeping requirement, the CFPB's ability to enforce the EFTA would be significantly impaired. Consumers rely on the disclosures required by the EFTA and Regulation E to facilitate informed EFT decision making. Without this information, consumers would be severely hindered in their ability to assess the true costs and terms of the transactions offered. Also, without the special error resolution and limitation of consumer liability provisions, consumers would be unable to detect and correct errors in their EFT transactions and fraudulent transfers. These disclosures and provisions are necessary for the CFPB and private litigants to enforce the EFTA and Regulation E.
