Every formal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau enforcement matter — orders, complaints, settlements, stipulated judgments — against banks, debt collectors, credit-reporting firms, mortgage servicers, payment processors, and crypto exchanges. 386 actions since the CFPB opened in 2011. Distinct from `cfpb_complaints` (the consumer complaint database): these are the formal enforcement orders with the penalty amounts.
