Request for Information Regarding Senior Financial Exploitation
I hope all victims of guardianship and conservatorship abuse respond to the CFPB's request but at the same time, I question if the CFPB is really seeking information on senior financial exploitation or if they're just taking the public's temperature.
ReplyDeleteThank you, NASGA, for publishing this information on the CFPB's request for information on senior financial exploitation. I will participate.

ReplyDeleteWhat? They're looking for information about financial exploition of Seniors? Does that mean the CFPB's currently in the dark?
