WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (Bureau) today issued a Request for Information (RFI) about the Bureau’s public reporting of consumer complaints. The Bureau is seeking comments and information from interested parties on the usefulness of complaint reporting and analysis, as well as specific suggestions or best practices for complaint reporting. This is the sixth in a series of RFIs announced as part of Acting Director Mick Mulvaney’s call for evidence to ensure the Bureau is fulfilling its proper and appropriate functions to best protect consumers. This RFI will provide an opportunity for the public to submit feedback and suggest ways to improve outcomes for both consumers and covered entities. The next RFI in the series will address the Bureau’s rulemaking processes, and will be issued next week.
The RFI on complaint reporting is available at: https://files.consumerfinance.gov/f/documents/cfpb_rfi_complaint-reporting_032018.pdf
The CFPB will begin accepting comments once the RFI is printed in the Federal Register, which is expected to occur on March 7. The RFI will be open for comment for 90 days.
The Bureau anticipates issuing RFIs on the following topics in the coming weeks:
- Rulemaking Processes
- Bureau Adopted Rules
- Inherited Rules
- Guidance and Implementation Support
- Consumer Education
- Consumer Inquiries
