📢 Supporting the CFPB's Move to Remove Medical Debt from Credit Reports 📢 OCJ stands with over 100 organizations backing the CFPB's proposed rule to ban medical debt from credit reports. This crucial step would prevent unfair damage to credit scores and protect consumers from abusive collection practices. It's especially important for lower-income individuals and people of color who are disproportionately impacted by medical debt. We fully support the CFPB's efforts to create a fairer, more accurate credit reporting system and urge the finalization of this rule. #ConsumerProtection #CFPB #MedicalDebt #FairCredit #OCJ #NCLC #OregonConsumerJustice

🚨 FTC Cracks Down on Fake Reviews and Testimonials 🚨 The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has announced a new rule banning fake reviews and testimonials. This final rule strengthens the agency's enforcement power, allowing it to impose civil penalties on businesses that engage in deceptive practices, including AI-generated fake reviews. This rule aims to protect consumers from deceptive advertising and ensure a fair, honest, and competitive marketplace.

🌞 OCJ's First Annual Summer Staff & Families Gathering! 🎉 It has been a big year for OCJ, so it was great to take some time to gather and celebrate as a team with our families at the park in mid-July. We shared a BBQ dinner, donuts, drinks, played games and caught up with one another. One fun highlight was watching our kids enjoy the park's splash pad! Can you tell which park we were at? Drop your guess in the comments! 🏞️ #OCJ #OregonConsumerJustice #Nonprofit #Oregon #OCJFam #SummerFun #TeamGathering #Community

🏛️ OCJ in the Community! 🏛️ During our recent trip to Washington, D.C., OCJ team members had the opportunity to meet with staff from Oregon's federal delegation, including the Congressional Offices of Senator Wyden, Senator Merkley, Representative Hoyle, and Representative Salinas. These meetings were invaluable in discussing critical consumer issues and advocating for policies that benefit all Oregonians. We're making sure that our voices are heard at the federal level and working to advance stronger consumer protections. #OCJ #OregonConsumerJustice #FederalDelegationMeetings #ConsumerAdvocacy #WashingtonDC #OregonDelegation #ConsumerProtection

🏛️ OCJ in the Community! 🏛️ In early June, OCJ team members Chris Coughlin, Michelle Luedtke, Megan Quintrell, and Lisa Watson attended the 58th Annual Consumer Assembly hosted by the Consumer Federation of America in Washington, D.C. This two-day event brought together policy advocates to debate pressing issues impacting consumers and discuss innovative solutions. Key topics included medical debt, data privacy, AI, insurance, and state and local consumer agency collaboration. We're grateful for the opportunity to engage in these important discussions and bring back valuable insights to better serve Oregonians. #OCJ #OregonConsumerJustice #ConsumerAssembly #CFA #ConsumerProtection #Advocacy #CommunityEngagement #WashingtonDC
