The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has issued a request for information regarding its consumer complaint database after going live with an enhanced version of the database last week, according to the CFPB. The Bureau's new enhanced public-facing consumer complaint database included more than 7,700 accounts of complaints that consumers have had with financial companies with regards to the way their mortgages, accounts, credit cards, debt collection, and other services are handled.
The Bureau published the request for information to determine whether there are ways to help the public more easily understand the information presented in the database and how consumers can compare the information the database contains. The request is part of an effort to continue dialogue on easier ways to compare complaint handling performance. The Bureau is requesting information from market participants, consumers, and other stakeholders on data normalization and its proper implementation within the database.
