Eighteen large U.S. bank holding companies are required to submit the results of their company-run, midyear stress tests to the Federal Reserve on July 5, the Federal Reserve said. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act required that large bank holding companies and non-bank financial institutions that are designated for Federal Reserve supervision by the Financial Stability Oversight Council conduct two stress tests each year. In the midyear test, which is being conducted for the first time in 2013, each firm develops its own baseline, adverse, and severely adverse scenarios to best reflect its individual operations and risks. Each firm in the midyear test is required to release the results produced under its severely adverse scenario, helping promote market discipline and understanding of the financial conditions and risks of individual firms, between September 15 and September 30, the Fed added. |

Attorney General Kamala D. Harris filed an enforcement action against JPMorgan Chase alleging that the bank engaged in fraudulent and unlawful debt-collection practices against tens of thousands of Californians. The suit alleges that Chase engaged in widespread, illegal robo-signing, among other unlawful practices, to commit debt-collection abuses against approximately 100,000 California credit card borrowers over at least a three-year period. Chase used California’s judicial system as a mill to obtain default judgments, the suit alleges, using illegal tactics to flood the state’s court system in order to secure default judgments and garnish wages from Californians.
