The Dodd-Frank Act introduced a new concept to the regulatory scheme, hoping to prohibit abusive acts or practices by providers of consumer financial products or services. While DFI statutes uniformly prohibit unfair or deceptive acts or practices, known as UDAPs, the new Consumer Finance Protection Bureau (CFPB), which oversees non-depository financial institutions, may write rules prohibiting unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices, known as UDAAPs.
