Richard Cordray and Republican members of the House Financial Services Committee are set to square off next Wednesday. It will be the first time the director of the CFPB will appear before the committee since it issued two reports criticizing the bureau’s activities in the auto finance arena.

The captive also agreed to lower its dealer markup caps.
