MNBA, the largest employer in DE wanted these "reforms," so in a sense Biden was representing his constituents.
I recall reading about this back in Jan when Biden was still running for Pres. It seems that he got a few provisions into this bill that did provide some relief for very low income consumers.

Obama voted against the bill. I think he would have had a really really hard time explaining a "yes" vote because as a community organizer in S Chicago, he met a lot people who were bankrupt or nearly so.
