Congress is considering blocking a decision by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to withdraw its rule about debt collection practices, specifically rules that protected consumers from being sued over debts that are too old to legally collect. If approved, this resolution would prevent the agency from removing those protections, keeping the restrictions in place on debt collectors' ability to pursue time-barred debts.
