June 3 (Reuters) - The U.S. consumer financial watchdog agency on Monday announced the creation of a new public database to identify nonbank financial companies caught violating consumer laws, saying it would help catch and deter corporate repeat offenders.
New regulations require debt collectors, mortgage and payday loans (
