In notices of voluntary dismissals filed on Thursday, the CFPB dropped lawsuits it had brought against Capital One, Rocket Homes, Vanderbilt Mortgage and Finance, owned by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, and others.

Housing finance players accused of wronging consumers slammed the lawsuits as politically motivated efforts by former Biden-era bureau director Rohit Chopra.

The dismissals occurred while Trump's nominee to head the CFPB, Jonathan McKernan, was on Capitol Hill testifying before the Senate in a confirmation hearing.

The consumer watchdog has dropped one of its last cases launched before the current Trump administration, which has been accused of trying to defang the agency.

The U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on Thursday dropped a series of enforcement actions against financial services companies accused of wrongdoing under the prior administration, including a major case against Capital One for allegedly avoiding billions in interest payments.

President Trump’s nominee to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau said he still planned to fulfill the agency’s mandate.

The move, on a suit that had accused the bank of tricking customers, was one of several dismissals ordered by Trump officials who are dismantling the agency.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is moving to drop a suit against Capital One brought during the Biden administration just last month that accused the bank of cheating customers out of a collective $2 billion.
