Payments to harmed consumers by case
When we take action against those who violate a law, sometimes they may have to pay back consumers.
In some cases, the defendant makes those payments. In others, we may require the person or company that broke the law to make the payment to the CFPB, and then we send that money to the victims, also known as providing redress.

Types of compensation
Defendant-administered payments
Often, defendants send payments themselves or through a settlement administrator. The specifics are decided case by case.
For questions about defendant-administered payments, please contact the defendant company directly.
Bureau-administered payments
Sometimes, an order may require the person or company that violated the law to pay us (the Bureau). We then send that money to victims, sometimes through a third party.
For questions about payments in a Bureau-administered case, please see the individual cases above.
Payments from the Civil Penalty Fund, also called the CFPB's victim relief fund
If the defendant is not able to fully compensate victims, sometimes we may pay victims from the CFPB’s Victim Relief Fund. The money in the Fund is from penalties paid by companies and individuals who violated the law. We then send that money to victims, sometimes through a third party.
For questions about payments in a Victim’s Relief Fund case, please see the individual cases above.
