Im their product taking my information telling me and release that out to who knows who. Eva valazquez says theyre getting an earful. Hearing from folks who are complaining that they dont understand what this means. And that they dont understand how they are supposed to react. The best step to take, a credit freeze. Thats where you instruct the credit reporting agencies to stop any one from accessing your Credit Information. For instance, as they would to offer you a new credit card. Credit freeze will lock the criminals out of opening accounts in your name. There are other types of identity theft. Medical. Criminal and governmental. At first equifax was charging a fee for freezing accounts. After so many complaints it is free. Still not a solution for anderson. He has to keep his Credit Information accessible as he is in the process of selling his house. Do you feel like you are vulnerable because of that . Yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely, definitely concerns. But even then freezing it is still no guarantee. But vazquez says at this point it is still the best option consumers have.

Fema estimates irma destroyed 25 of homes here. Another, 65 have major damage. There is almost no power, no water.

The Trump Administration continues to tight hand of Consumer FinancialProtection Bureau. Latest department of education says it will no longer share information with the calling the agency overreaching and unaccountable. At issue 1. 5 trillion of student loans. Targeting predatory lenders for profit colleges and loan servicers and won several settlements. You all have failed, failed once again. Adequately to this subpoena. Of course we responded. Another 20,000 pages. He may be the best friend that the consumer has ever had. So why does he seem to have so many enemies on capitol hill . Do you feel you have a target on your back . What i feel its that, we need an independent consumer watch dog. You have regular people who have problems with big financial companies. How do they get relief . You have some body that will stay on their side. A former attorney general of ohio. Thanks to an exceptional gift of recall, a fivetime winner of the tv show, jeopardy. It is set in massachusetts. Richard. What is the bostonians. He raised hackles of some in washington when president obama director of cfpb. You are an attorney, you said it doesnt matter what they signed. Legal document. Since then rebuked and criticized on capitol hill. Who is to protect the constum consumer . Thats no true. No different than federal reserve, fdic. Consumer Protection Bureau was created in 2010 as part of legislation designed to rein in wall street. The bureau was the idea of elizabeth warren, harvard professor hoped a Single Agency regulating all Consumer Lending would prevent the practices that led to the Great Recession of 2008. We cover banks. We cover auto lenders. We cover mortgage lenders. Nobody was singularly focused on that before the crisis. It was a gap, blind spot. It cost this country terribly. In less than six years, he a regulatory powerhouse. Ncy int rewriting lending regulations and bringing Enforcement Actions against some of the biggest Financial Institutions in the country. Including wells fargo, citibang, and bank of america. Still, some members of congress say, he has way too much power. We have now one unelected. One unaccountable individual who essentially gets to determine what mortgages we have, credit card we have, bank lens we get. Jeb hensorling, republican from texas chairman of the house financial committee. In a democracy. Should have that much power. Outside of washington, people like harry and his son arie see it differently. The bureau is needed. And it need, to be, to be strengthened not weak end. It needs to protect people that cant look out for themselves. Harry contacted the bureaus come planlt center in 2011 concerned about a used car loan his 19yearold son had gotten after joining the army. Awe off the he picked me up at the airport. In this big dodge truck. I noticed that he was completely broke. Didnt have money to eat. Arie got the loan through a program called miles. Military installment loans and educational services. They were going to teach soldiers how to buy an automobile in a responsible way. Because the monthly car payment was deducted from his army paycheck. Arie mistakenly assumed his loan was part of a government program. You own the deemership, they have pictures of the post commander all these battalion commanders full uniform shaking the hands of the car dealers. Make it, made it look like this is part of the military like the army. Arie boris agreed to pay three times the blue book value of the truck over the lifetime of the contract. Not saying he is right. They were wrong to allow things lieks that to happen. Altogether if we had kept that loan for his 11,000 car he would have paid 31,405. 80. About right. Harry got his son out of the loan. And the bureau got refunds for arie boris and 50,000 other members of the military. Who had signed up for similar overpriced loans. I met two friends, also had done the same thing. And incidentally, one of them had asked to go to iraq or afghanistan just to get the, the hazard pay to pay his car loan. Fines. 12 b. Congressman. Hensorling argues the bureau actions hurt consumers, forcing some lenders out of business and making others less willing to make loans. If you have law that is gray, white, what happens is, is one banker told me i am just hunkering down in a fox holt and not lending money because i am afraid of what the cppb may do. The financial choice act. To reduce regulation hes says stifle the economy. He is now pushing a bill the financial choice act t. That would restructure the ccfpb and strip it of its powers. Is it possible that one of the reasons why, there are members of congress who want to get rid of Richard Cordray and bureau maybe just doing his job too well. Always a possibility. William d. Cohen spent 17 years as investment banker and writes about wall street for van i personally think it goes back to antipathy, senators and elizabeth warren. This is her baby. They want to zing her a little bit. In june, his bill passed its first hurdle in the house. Despite strong opposition by consumer groups, and concerned academics. You received a letter seend by 158 professors from all major universities in the country. All opposing your bill. All supporting the bureau. Are all of those professors wrong . Yes. They are. Theyre all wrong. Obviously they dent believe in freedom, capitalism. Consumer prosperity. Theyve dont believe in markets. I believe in freedom. Christopher peterson, law professor at university of utah and several of the letter writers met with us at georgetown university. It seems to me that chairman hensorling believes in freedom, big banks and Financial Institutions. What about consumers who end up in debt traps . Patricia mccoy of boston college. Even the choice act would not apolish the bureau. And instead it would just leave it an empty husk. Kathleen angle, a Suffolk University law school. We all lived through the financial crisis. Anybody studying the crisis, understand that the failure of the federal regulators to protect consumers was the most important government failure that we have seen, since the great depression. Adam levitson of georgetown law. The bureau has been careful and selective about Enforcement Actions. Not gone after businesses where there is a close call. The battle over the bureau isnt over yet. It now moves to the u. S. Senate, and the federal courts. Where the cfpb has been challenged as unconstitutional. Despite speculation that Richard Cordray may resign to run for governor of ohio, he says his attention remains on the american consumer. Making sure people are treated fairly in the marketplace. That somebody stands on their side to see that happens. Thats our job. We will keep focusing on it. Was for langoustine ravioli. A langoustine is a tiny kind of lobster. A slight shellfish allergy rules that out, plus my wife ordered the langoustine. I will have chicken tenders and tater tots. If youre a ref, you way overexplain things. Its what you do.

To visit citys newest museum you will have to come down off the streets of rome to the subway. Seth doane has the story. Quite elaborate. Yes. It is a breathtaking array of artifacts from ancient rome including coins and jewelry. They would use the bone objects for, pens. Yes, pens. Almost as impressive as whats in the collection is where it is on display. A metro station which doubles as a museum. This is not your typical subway station.

This station alone was around 60 million. Rome is unique. Also, pretty difficult place. To build a subway. You encounter an awful lot. It is very difficult because because everywhere in rome, you, you find something. It has been. And romes archaeological superintendent. You were the one who gave this, the green light . Yes, i decided to, to, start an experiment. Which was never tried before. To transform a tube station in something between a museum and a ancient environment. This is a trip on the metro, but it is also a journey through time. As rome developed, city was built on top of itself, layer after layer. And this wall marks that. Right now we are heading deep down towards the imperial period. Around 2,000 years ago. Thats where the team unearthed an elaborate irrigation system of aqueducts and pipes for pressurized water. Why they made it so sophisticated system. Because, they were producing a luxury product. They uncovered pots used for seedlings and preserved deep underground tree roots. And petrified peach pits. He calls this glimpse of an ancient architectural landscape extraordinary. Italians have a reputation for being late. You will make them even later as they stop to look at all of this in the subway.

We, we, made our focus in one spot. And they came to us. Yeah. You guys okay, having fun. Yeah. Brad believes this is safe in part because this is one of the rare spots in alaska where human carry cameras, and instead of guns. Here is that one place where, bears respect people. Because people respect bears. There was a time when the state of alaska thought if they killed the bears there could be more fish for the people. But brad tells me the salmon runs werent nearly as healthy. When this guy poops in the woods as bears do, he is spreading marine nutrients into the valleys. Theyre stewards of an environment where everything is connected by salmon. I am scared every year. Come back every year they show up like miracles iechl say, thank you. Everybody is happy. The bears are happy. The gulls, eagles, and foxes and wolves. They all, they all cash in. At the top of the food chain are all of the people who cash in on the salmon.

Northern dynasty believes there are 100 million ounces of gold in that there hills. Oh, 80 billion pounds of copper. This space, this little chunk of real estate, could be worth half a trillion dollars. Over the next century or so.
