I wish to appeal this determination.
I would like to ask the CFPB provide:
1.) The number of records/pages identified;
2.) The reason (statute or case precedent) for this denial;
3.) An index of exemptions for records. (Are they all withheld under reasoning of law enforcement? Are they being withheld for privacy reasons? Etc?)
It is very odd that the CFPB does not cite the statute or case precedent for the denial of this request. Please provide more details and review this determination.
It is understood that the CFPB has previously disclosed records of similar nature through official and unofficial channels - therefore it seams odd that this request has been denied with such vague language.
Finally, it is requested that the CFPB provide the full FOIA log for CFPB-2019-0423-F.
