Disclosure has long been one of the principal tools of consumer protection. The basic premise seems straightforward: if consumers are given better information about the terms of a transaction, they should be able to make better-informed decisions. But what if better disclosure works differently for different consumers? And what if a disclosure that improves decision-making overall can, in some circumstances, actually worsen outcomes for financially vulnerable consumers? Those are among the important and provocative questions explored in the latest episode released today of the Consumer Finance Monitor Podcast, hosted by Alan Kaplinsky (founder and former chair for 25 years and now Senior Counsel of the Consumer Financial Services Group at our firm) Alan's guest is Professor Florencia Marotta-Wurgler of NYU School of Law, a leading scholar of consumer law, behavioral law and economics. We discuss her new article, "The Distributional Costs of Effective Consumer Regulation," co-authored with Tamar Kricheli-Katz.  The article is available for free on SSRN. The article challenges the conventional way regulators and academics have evaluated consumer disclosures. Rather than simply asking whether disclosure "works," the authors ask a more nuanced question: for whom does it work, under what circumstances, and at what cost? Key Topics Discussed Include: ·                 Better disclosure can reduce mistakes, but not necessarily for everyone in the same way ·                 When salience changes the trade-off ·                 The implications for regulators ·                 What does this mean for behavioral regulation? ·                 A broader lesson about disclosure Professor Marotta-Wurgler's research is particularly compelling because it challenges the assumption that making information more effective is necessarily an unqualified good. Sometimes, a disclosure may not merely inform consumers. It may change what they focus on, how they perceive trade-offs and ultimately what choices they make. That is a lesson regulators, policymakers and industry participants should keep in mind as they design the next generation of consumer protection disclosure rules. Consumer Finance Monitor is hosted by Alan Kaplinsky, Senior Counsel at Ballard Spahr, and the founder and former chair of the firm's Consumer Financial Services Group.

Meta has agreed to a massive settlement with several states -- including Utah -- in a lawsuit over whether their platforms hurt children. The settlement includes safety measures like daily time limits and age-appropriate content controls. The state will also receive at least $212 million through this. Attorney General Derek Brown joins Inside Sources to explain what's in the settlement and the journey it took to get to this point. Then, Greg and Holly speak with Utah Commerce Commissioner Margaret Busse -- whose Division of Consumer Protection led the charge on this effort -- about what it means for parents, teens, and social media in the state of Utah.

State legislatures across the country are taking aim at subscription traps and deceptive cancellation practices — but what does effective consumer protection actually look like at the state level? Erin Witte, Senior Counsel to the New Jersey Attorney General and former Director of Consumer Protection at the Consumer Federation of America, speaks with Anna Olson and Anora Wang about the growing wave of state click-to-cancel legislation targeting subscription traps and dark patterns. Listen to this episode to learn what makes a strong state law, how enforcement actions actually unfold, and what the patchwork of state protections means for consumers and businesses alike.

Independent investigative journalism, broadcasting, trouble-making and muckraking with Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com

Proposed amendments to the Banking Act 2015 are expected to provide legal backing for new guidelines governing how banks respond to fraud and scam incidents. The Office for Financial Conduct is also developing a Bank Smart Campaign to improve digital and financial literacy, helping consumers protect personal information, recognize scams and understand their rights and responsibilities.

In this episode of The Consumer Finance Podcast, host Chris Willis sits down with Partners Joseph DeFazio and Joseph Froehlich to discuss the New Jersey Supreme Court's ruling in Diana, a unanimous ruling and long-awaited victory for debt buyers operating in New Jersey. At the center of the conversation is a high-volume litigation campaign waged by the Kim Law Firm, which targeted the chain of title for consumer debts under the New Jersey Consumer Finance Licensing Act (NJCFLA). Kim's core theory argued that any consumer debt under $50,000 — including personal loans, auto loans, and retail credit — that was ever touched, transferred, or assigned by an unlicensed entity is void and unenforceable as a matter of law, and that any attempt to collect on such a debt independently triggers statutory liability. The trio walks through how that theory played out across dozens of lower court decisions, appellate losses, a Third Circuit ruling, and ultimately, the New Jersey Supreme Court's definitive holding that no private right of action exists under the NJCFLA. Despite the favorable ruling in Diana for debt buyers, the threat of litigation has not disappeared. Kim has signaled an intent to pivot rather than retreat, leveraging the ruling's unresolved questions to pursue claims under the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act. Tune in to this episode to hear about post-Diana implications and critical issues that remain for debt buyers following the decision. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Proposed amendments to the Banking Act across the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union will provide a legal framework for the Office for Financial Conduct, which will serve as a consumer regulator for banking services. The office will handle complaints, enforce codes of conduct and help customers seek resolution and redress, with its services available free of charge. Saint Lucia is expected to update its legislation in 2026, while the Office for Financial Conduct is scheduled to launch in September.

Become a DIEHARD! alldlls.com/diehard   The Texas Rangers lost 3-2 to the Angels on Tuesday, a game that was frustrating offensively in light of a solid performance by starting pitcher Cody Bradford. The Rangers' first run came on the first batter of the game, as Joc Pederson homered, but the offense missed a chance later in the first inning and throughout the game. The offense has reverted to its early-season form by scoring only 15 runs in their past five games. The drought comes at a time when the starting rotation has been good but now faces more adversity with Nathan Eovaldi in the injured list.   An ALLCITY Network Production   SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@DLLS_Sports   ALL THINGS DLLS:   WEBSITE: https://store.allcitynetwork.com/collections/dlls-locker   BUY MERCH: http://DLLSLocker.com   FOLLOW ON SOCIAL: Twitter: @DLLS_Sports Instagram: @DLLS_Sports   Become a DLLS Diehard and get access to premium content, our Discord channel, discounts on merch, and a free shirt!

Singapore's Competition and Consumer Commission — CCS — has been enforcing competition law for roughly two decades and more recently consumer protection laws as well. How does a small, open, trade-dependent city-state design and enforce a competition regime that punches above its weight — and what does that mean for global practitioners? Mr. Loke Shiu Meng, Assistant Chief Executive of the CCS overseeing Legal, Enforcement, and Consumer Protection, joins Subrata Bhattacharjee and Anora Wang to discuss Singapore's enforcement arc, its voluntary merger regime, the agency's push against dark patterns and unfair trade practices, and how CCS navigates its role as a neutral hub in an increasingly fractured geopolitical landscape.

Now, the Rangers go on the road to face the two worst teams in the American League, the Angels and the A's. The opportunity for a successful seven-game road trip and to gain ground in the playoff race is right in front of them. They need the rotation to continue pitching well. The lone hiccup last time through was Kumar Rocker, who on Sunday allowed a mental mistake to cause his outing to unravel.   ALL THINGS DLLS:   WEBSITE: https://store.allcitynetwork.com/collections/dlls-locker   BUY MERCH: http://DLLSLocker.com   FOLLOW ON SOCIAL: Twitter: @DLLS_Sports Instagram: @DLLS_Sports   Become a DLLS Diehard and get access to premium content, our Discord channel, discounts on merch, and a free shirt!

Become a DIEHARD! alldlls.com/diehard   An ALLCITY Network Production   SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@DLLS_Sports     The Texas Rangers are holding onto the thought that they will be a playoff threat as players return from the injured list. The first one back turned out to be Cody Bradford, who was a surprise starter Wednesday against the Giants. He tossed 4 1/3 innings in a 6-0 win that secured a series win. Up next should be Jordan Montgomery, but the Rangers have some maneuvering to do. But the players on the roster have to carry their fair share of the load, too, and it starts with Nathan Eovaldi and Jacob deGrom in a key home series against the Orioles.   ALL THINGS DLLS:   WEBSITE: https://store.allcitynetwork.com/collections/dlls-locker   BUY MERCH: http://DLLSLocker.com   FOLLOW ON SOCIAL: Twitter: @DLLS_Sports Instagram: @DLLS_Sports   Become a DLLS Diehard and get access to premium content, our Discord channel, discounts on merch, and a free shirt!

In today's episode of the award-winning Consumer Finance Monitor Podcast, our host, Alan Kaplinsky (founder, chair for 25 years and now Senior Counsel of the Consumer Financial Services Group at Ballard Spahr LLP) is joined by Delicia Hand, a nationally recognized expert on digital civil rights, AI governance, and consumer protection who leads AI policy initiatives at Consumer Reports. The discussion centers on Consumer Reports' recently released report, AI and Consumer Finance: A Landscape Analysis of Market Forces, Evaluation Frameworks, and Regulatory Gaps, and examines how AI is reshaping consumer finance while exposing important gaps in existing regulatory frameworks. Key topics discussed are: ·        Why approximately 75% of consumers express concern that AI could result in bias or unfair treatment in financial services, while only 8% believe current laws adequately protect them. ·        Whether the rapid adoption of AI is being driven more by competitive pressures than by demonstrated consumer benefits. ·        Consumer Reports' proposed framework for evaluating AI systems used in financial services, including twelve key dimensions designed to assess whether AI systems adequately protect consumers. ·        The growing use of AI in credit underwriting and lending, including both its potential to expand access to credit and its potential to perpetuate existing biases. ·        The increasing use of algorithmic and personalized pricing and the consumer protection concerns raised by AI-driven pricing models. ·        The risks associated with consumers relying on general-purpose AI systems as financial advisors despite the absence of traditional fiduciary obligations or regulatory oversight. ·        Privacy concerns arising from AI systems that access consumers' financial account information through data aggregation services. ·        The need for meaningful consumer redress mechanisms when AI systems make mistakes, including access to human review and effective dispute resolution. ·        The absence of a comprehensive federal framework governing AI in financial services and the unresolved questions surrounding accountability among AI developers, financial institutions, and other participants in the AI supply chain. This episode will be of particular interest to banks, fintech companies, financial services providers, compliance professionals, regulators, and attorneys seeking to understand the rapidly evolving legal and policy landscape governing the use of artificial intelligence in consumer finance. Consumer Finance Monitor is hosted by Alan Kaplinsky, Senior Counsel at Ballard Spahr, and the founder and former chair of the firm's Consumer Financial Services Group. We encourage listeners to subscribe to the podcast on their preferred platform for weekly insights into developments in the consumer finance industry.

What makes one state's approach to consumer protection worth watching? In this episode, we explore key takeaways from Kelley Drye's webinar with leaders from the Maine Attorney General's Office, examining how the state's unique legislative election of its attorney general, robust citizen ballot initiative process, and needs-driven enforcement strategy are shaping consumer protection priorities. From cryptocurrency kiosk regulation and privacy protections to heightened scrutiny of private equity investments in healthcare and mobile home parks, the discussion highlights how emerging risks, local policy innovation, and multistate collaboration are redefining the enforcement landscape. For businesses, Maine offers an important reminder that consumer protection trends are increasingly being driven not just by regulators, but also by voters and state legislatures. Hosted by Simone Roach. Based on a blog post by Paul L. Singer, Abigail Stempson, and Beth Bolen Chun.

Become a DIEHARD! alldlls.com/diehard   The buzz did not match trade-deadline reality Monday with the Texas Rangers are the MLB trade deadline. They did next to nothing, trading away Josh Smith to Toronto for Adam Macko, a young left-handed pitcher. The Rangers had been informed by Jacob deGrom that he would not waive his no-trade protection, with the right-hander saying that he wants to win with the Rangers. That's why he signed and asked for no trades in the first place. The Rangers then went out and laid an egg against the Giants, losing 5-1. The Rangers committed five errors in their sixth straight loss, a bad look for a team that keeps saying it's good enough to win as is.   An ALLCITY Network Production   SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@DLLS_Sports   ALL THINGS DLLS:   WEBSITE: https://store.allcitynetwork.com/collections/dlls-locker   BUY MERCH: http://DLLSLocker.com   FOLLOW ON SOCIAL: Twitter: @DLLS_Sports Instagram: @DLLS_Sports   Become a DLLS Diehard and get access to premium content, our Discord channel, discounts on merch, and a free shirt!

Marc Andreessen, Chris Dixon, and Robert Hackett discuss one of the most consequential policy debates facing the crypto industry: the push for comprehensive U.S. market structure legislation and what regulatory clarity could mean for innovation, financial markets, and America's technological leadership. They explore the CLARITY Act, stablecoins, securities law, consumer protection, and why both builders and financial institutions are calling for clear rules of the road.

The series also had trade-deadline implications. Players were aware of both and responded well with a lot on the line. Joc Pederson, Ezequiel Duran, Jake Burger and Wyatt Langford were key players in the series, and so were Nathan Eovaldi and Kumar Rocker. The Rangers should be buyers at the trade deadline, which arrives Aug. 3. They need bullpen help, a catcher and right-handed hitter.

The Rangers are in first place by a half-game over the Mariners, who could leave Globe Life Field in first place at the end of the four-game series Monday. Seattle is struggling offensively, mostly because of the woes of star catcher Cal Raleigh, but they can still pitch really well. How with the complementary players, like Cam Cauley, far in the series. More than first place is on the line.

Recent Developments in UK Consumer Protection Law: The CMA's First Investigations Under the New Regime Since our last podcast in July 2025, which covered the key features of the UK's enhanced consumer protection regime introduced under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act, there have been significant developments including a number of investigations and final infringement decisions under the new regime, new guidance on green claims across the supply chain, guidance on the use of AI agents, and the Government's response to the consultation on implementing the new subscription contracts regime. Our latest podcast focuses on the CMA's first investigations into online pricing practices, pressure selling and fake or misleading consumer reviews. At the time of recording the CMA had completed three of its investigations, adopting infringement decisions with penalties and imposing consumer redress measures. The CMA has also issued advisory letters to over a hundred businesses, putting them on notice of the need to review their practices. In this podcast we take a closer look at the CMA's areas of focus and the lessons learned based on these first investigations.

Wisconsin is tightening import requirements for livestock and other warm-blooded animals entering the state in an effort to keep the destructive New World screwworm (NWS) from reaching farms and rural communities. The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) announced a temporary order which adds new health requirements for animals coming from states with active NWS-infested zones. The order takes effect on Tuesday, July 21, and will remain in place until it is lifted by the Wisconsin state veterinarian. Teri Barr explains some details with Wisconsin Secretary of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection, Randy Romanski.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Texas Rangers are headed to Atlanta for a three-game weekend series against the Braves. The Rangers do so in first place in the American League West by 1 1/2 games over the Mariners and as the only team in the division above .500 (49-47). There is room to improve, particularly in a bullpen that could use immediate help.

Become a DIEHARD! alldlls.com/diehard   An ALLCITY Network Production   The All-Star Game is done, and Jacob Latz, the lone Texas Rangers' All-Star, acquitted himself nicely in a short appearance. Before the season resumes Friday, the Rangers dropped some news on its fanbase Wednesday morning: Victory+ is no longer their direct-to-consumer partner. They pulled the plug on Victory+ and are now hooked up with BZZR, a social app that is taking on game distribution for the first time. Fans are irritated and will have to work a little bit to continue to see games. Maybe fans will be able to see Sebastian Walcott in Frisco soon. He played his first game since February elbow surgery Tuesday night in Arizona.   SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@DLLS_Sports   ALL THINGS DLLS:   WEBSITE: https://store.allcitynetwork.com/collections/dlls-locker   BUY MERCH: http://DLLSLocker.com   FOLLOW ON SOCIAL: Twitter: @DLLS_Sports Instagram: @DLLS_Sports   Become a DLLS Diehard and get access to premium content, our Discord channel, discounts on merch, and a free shirt!

In today's Daily Fix:Gamers are doing all they can to stop PlayStation from killing physical media, including appealing to the European Union. But according to the European Commissioner for Consumer Protection, the EU can't step in due to "commercial and contractual freedoms." Basically, Sony getting rid of games on discs in 2028 does not violate any member nation's laws or the EU's laws. In happier news, Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced sold two million units in a single day, and had the best concurrents of any AC title on Steam. And finally, Disney's latest live-action remake, Moana, barely tread water in its opening weekend. The movie brought in a global total of $100 million and is unlikely to break even against its reported $250 million budget.

He's frustrated to, but he told DLLS Sports exclusively that he expects to play again this season after getting a plan from a back specialist. His mounting health issues come at a tricky time for the team, which is in first place in the American League West after a narrow escape Thursday against the Angels. The trade deadline is approaching, and the Rangers might went to get out from under Seager's massive contract because of the medicals. He's also a really good hitter when healthy.

Become a DIEHARD! alldlls.com/diehard   An ALLCITY Network Production   The Texas Rangers snapped a two-game losing streak and pushed the Angels' losing streak to seven with an 8-3 victory Tuesday night at Globe Life Field. Jacob deGrom pitched well over five innings before leaving with a hip injury that he said will not prevent him from making his next start. The Rangers got big offensive contributions from Justin Foscue, who hit a pinch-hit homer and drove in another run in a five-run eighth, and Alejandro Osuna, who hit a three-run homer to cap the big eighth. Nicky Lopez and Ezequiel Duran also delivered. No one was expecting that foursome to be key contributors for the Rangers, but they are and their contributions have been welcomed.   SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@DLLS_Sports   ALL THINGS DLLS:   WEBSITE: https://store.allcitynetwork.com/collections/dlls-locker   BUY MERCH: http://DLLSLocker.com   FOLLOW ON SOCIAL: Twitter: @DLLS_Sports Instagram: @DLLS_Sports   Become a DLLS Diehard and get access to premium content, our Discord channel, discounts on merch, and a free shirt!

Is personal finance rigged against ordinary people? Economists John Campbell and Tarun Ramadorai argue the system rewards the wealthy and financially savvy at the expense of everyone else.  Their book Fixed points to a troubling pattern: the fees you avoid by never overdrafting, or by refinancing on time, are paid for by people who don't, and they warn that the resulting resentment is fueling political discontent. But there is a tension at the heart of their argument. They don't want the government running finance or setting prices, yet they call for far more muscular rules. So what exactly are they proposing, and why do they insist it would expand your choices rather than limit them? Connect with us:
