WASHINGTON—A lawsuit before the Supreme Court on Tuesday could threaten more than a decade’s worth of rules governing the mortgage industry, credit cards, student-loan companies and more. The CFPB, created by Congress as part of the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial overhaul, was intended to safeguard consumer welfare following the financial crisis. If the justices uphold the appeals court’s decision and issue a sweeping ruling, they could sow confusion, legal experts and several industry groups say.
