Equal treatment for same-sex married couples memo issued by CFPB

An article has been posted by the CFPB stating that, due to the recent Supreme Court decision in the case of United States V. Winsor, Director Cordray has issued a memo to staff clarifying that the Bureau's policy is to recognize all lawful marriages valid at the time of the marriage in the jurisdiction where the marriage was celebrated. This policy applies to all of the laws, regulations, and policies that the Bureau administers, including the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA), Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), Truth in Lending Act (TILA), and Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA).
