Gives 'buy now, pay later' users new consumer protections and federal oversight.
This bill would extend important consumer safeguards to 'buy now, pay later' loans, similar to those for credit cards. Users would gain rights to dispute billing errors and claims. Companies offering these loans would also be put under federal oversight by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Today, 'buy now, pay later' loans are not explicitly covered by certain consumer protection laws like the Truth in Lending Act, and the companies offering them are not directly supervised by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. If this bill passes, these loans would gain protections for consumers regarding disclosures, billing errors, and the ability to dispute charges, and the lenders would be subject to federal oversight.
