IntelliConnect—CFPB Examination Manuals now available in the Consumer Credit Guide

Portions of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s Examination Manual that are pertinent to credit regulation are now available in the Consumer Credit Guide.

The Manual guides CFPB examiners in overseeing companies that provide consumer financial products and services. The examination procedures are integrated into the Guide’s topical arrangement.

Product-based examination procedures for larger participants in the consumer reporting market and for short-term, small-dollar lending, as well as statutory and regulation-based procedures for unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices are located under the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau menu heading. Examination procedures for the Truth in Lending Act, Consumer Leasing Act, Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, Fair Credit Reporting Act and Equal Credit Opportunity Act are found under the corresponding menu heading for each Act. The examination procedures follow the explanations, laws and regulations under their respective menu heading.

If you subscribe to the Consumer Credit Guide on IntelliConnect, click here to access the Examination Procedures for the CFPB Consumer Leasing Act.

Training Tip for IntelliConnect and LoislawConnect

Do IntelliConnect and LoislawConnect provide Natural Language word searching?
While IntelliConnect and LoislawConnect do not allow Natural Language searching, they both provide helpful alternative search options to return equivalent results and also provide sorting tools to pare down large results lists to on-point material. For example, use the following steps within IntelliConnect and LoislawConnect to get similar results to the following Natural Language search expression: In what situations are punitive damages often granted in breach of contract actions?

IntelliConnect

  1. Search “all content” for search expression using key words with spaces in between terms, with quotes to force phrases, and Thesaurus ON. (A space is interpreted as “AND”)
    For example: grant punitive damages “breach of contract”
  2. If needed, re-sort results to Relevance
  3. Additional Options:
    • Search “within results” for new key word(s)
    • Use Filters to restrict results by: Doc Type, Library, Court and/or Jurisdiction

LoislawConnect

  1. Search selected database(s) and enter key words, using “AND” between terms into the “Search Entire Document” field. (Quotes are not needed to force a phrase. Basic endings such as past tense, plural, and “ing” and “tion” endings are automatically applied to all terms.)
    For example: grant and punitive damages and breach of contract
  2. Change results display to Relevance order
  3. Additional Options:
    • Place the tilde symbol, ~, in front of key terms (with or without a space) to activate the thesaurus and return synonyms for your key words. For example: ~ grant and ~ punitive damages and ~ breach of contract
    • Use the green Refine Results button to search for additional key words/phrases
    • Use Filters on the left to restrict results to specific Jurisdiction, Court or Type of Document
