Making consumer complaints available to the public
Today marks a major step forward in our work to protect consumers. In a first by a federal financial regulator, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) will share with the public individual-level consumer complaint data received by the CFPB.
Introducing the Consumer Complaint Database.
No longer will consumer complaints only be known to the complainant, bank, regulator, and those who pursue this information through the Freedom of Information Act. Instead, this data-rich window into consumer financial issues will be widely available to everyone: developers, policymakers, journalists, academics, industry, and you.
