The ECOA is enforced by the following federal and state agencies (based on the type of financial institution that is believed to have broken the law):

* Federal Trade Commission/Consumer Response Center

* Comptroller of the Currency/Consumer Assistance Group

* Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation/Consumer Response Center

* Office of Thrift Supervision/Consumer Affairs

* National Credit Union Administration

* Federal Reserve Consumer Help Center

* Department of Justice/Civil Rights Division

Generally, fines and other negative actions are used to enforce portions of the ECOA. For the worst cases, companies get shut down.
