Abstract: The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Public Law 111-203, Title X (the Act), provides for CFPB's consumer complaint handling function. Among other things, the CFPB is to facilitate the centralized collection of, monitoring of, and response to complaints concerning consumer financial products and services. The Act further provides for consumer complaint sharing and reporting to Congress. To fulfill this mandate, the CFPB has developed a portal for congressional users as part of its secure web portal offerings (the Congressional Portal). The Act further provides for consumer complaint information sharing between the CFPB and State and Federal agencies (Agencies). To fulfill this mandate, the CFPB has developed a portal for state users as part of its secure web portal offerings (the Government Portal). Through the Congressional Portal, congressional offices can view consumer submitted complaint data in a user-friendly format that allows easy identification of complaints currently active in the CFPB process, complaints referred to prudential federal regulators, and complaints that are closed or archived. The Portal includes features for congressional offices to export selected complaint data and search by company, consumer name, consumer financial product and more. It also allows congressional offices to identify whether a named company has responded to a complaint and view the company closure response category. Through the portal, Agencies can view consumer submitted complaint data in a user-friendly format that allows easy identification of complaints currently active in the CFPB process, complaints referred to a prudential federal regulator and other closed/archived complaints. The portal includes features for State agencies to export selected complaint data and search by company, consumer name, consumer financial product and more. It also allows State agencies to identify whether a named company has responded to a complaint and view the company closure response category.
Request for Comments: Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Bureau, including whether the information will have practical utility; (b) The accuracy of the Bureau's estimate of the burden of the collection of information, including the validity of the methods and the assumptions used; (c) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
