Thank you for contacting the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
The CFPB aims to make consumer financial markets work for consumers, responsible providers, and the economy as a whole. We arm people with the information, steps, and tools that they need to make smart financial decisions.
If you have a question
If you have a question about a financial product or service, you can get clear, impartial answers on our website at www.consumerfinance.gov/ask-cfpb. You can also call us from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday at (855) 411-2372 (TTY/TDD: (855) 729-2372).
If you have a complaint
If you want to submit a complaint about a financial product or service, the fastest and easiest way to do it is by going to our website, www.consumerfinance.gov/complaint. Submitting a complaint to the CFPB is free. When you submit online, you can attach supporting documents and track your complaint’s progress online. You can also submit a complaint by phone if you cannot submit one online.




How the complaint process works
When you submit a complaint to the CFPB, your complaint goes through several steps that help you get a response about your issue and help us identify problems in the marketplace:
1. Complaint submitted
You submit a complaint about an issue you have with a company about a consumer financial product or service. You will receive email updates and can log in to track the status of your complaint.
2. Review and route
We'll forward your complaint, and any documents you provide to the company, and work to get a response from them. If we find that another government agency would be better able to assist, we will forward your complaint to them and let you know.
3. Company response
The company reviews your complaint, communicates with you as needed, and reports back about the steps taken, or that will be taken on the issue you identify in your complaint.
4. Complaint published
We publish information about your complaint—such as the subject and date of the complaint—on our public Consumer Complaint Database. With your consent we also publish your description of what happened, after taking steps to remove personal information.
5. Consumer review
We will let you know when the company responds. You’ll be able to review the company's response and will have 60 days to provide feedback about the company's response.
Complaints help with our work to supervise companies, enforce federal consumer financial laws, and write better rules and regulations. The CFPB will never ask you to pay money to submit a complaint. If you want to submit a complaint, the fastest and easiest way to do it is by going to our website, www.consumerfinance.gov/complaint.
