Proposed Language Access Plan
The text of the Proposed Language
Access Plan follows:
Consistent with Executive Order
13166 (Aug. 11, 2000), this document
establishes the Language Access Plan of
the Consumer Financial Protection
Bureau (Bureau or CFPB) for addressing
meaningful access to CFPB services for
Limited English Proficiency (LEP)
persons (individuals who do not speak
English as their primary language and
who have a limited ability to speak,
write, or understand English).
The CFPB is committed to improving
the accessibility of its services to LEP
persons. In developing its Language
Access Plan, the CFPB engaged
stakeholders to understand the
opportunities to serve LEP persons and
to ensure LEP individuals have access to
the CFPB’s programs and services.
To ensure meaningful access, the
Bureau considers the following factors:
(1) The number or proportion of LEP
persons who would not receive the
Bureau’s services absent efforts to
remove language barriers; (2) The
frequency and number of contact by LEP
persons with the Bureau’s services; (3)
The nature and importance of the
services provided by the Bureau to
people’s lives; and (4) The resources
available to the Bureau (including costbenefit analysis) to provide services to
LEP persons.
The CFPB provides LEP individuals
with access to information, services,
activities, and programs through the
following activities:
1. Translating Consumer-Facing
Documents
The Bureau translates critical
consumer-facing documents into the
most frequently encountered languages,
as established by U.S. Census Bureau
data or based on specific issues affecting
a particular group of LEP individuals.
The Bureau publishes a wider range of
consumer-facing documents in Spanish
than other frequently encountered
languages.
Translating public-facing documents
into the languages most frequently
encountered 6 is important when
6 Language Used in The United States 2007—
American Community Survey Report—U.S. Census
Bureau. According to the 2012 American
Community Survey Report from the U.S. Census
´
Bureau, Spanish, Mandarin, French, Haitian Creole,
Tagalog, Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese are the
most common languages other than English that are
spoken in the United States.

reaching LEP individuals. Given that
Hispanics constitute 16.7 percent of the
nation’s total population, making them
the nation’s largest ethnic or racial
minority, and that 62 percent of people
who speak a language other than
English at home speak Spanish,7 the
Bureau translates certain consumerfacing materials into Spanish. The CFPB
has also translated brochures, fact sheets
and other materials about certain topics
´
into Chinese, French, French Creole,
Korean, Tagalog, and Vietnamese. The
Bureau audits translated materials to
ensure quality and accuracy.
2. Handling Complaints From
Consumers About Consumer Financial
Products and Services
The Bureau’s Office of Consumer
Response (Consumer Response) hears
directly from consumers about the
challenges they face in the marketplace
and brings consumers’ concerns to the
attention of consumer financial product
or service providers. Consumer
Response currently accepts complaints
about credit cards, mortgages, bank
accounts and services, private student
loans, vehicle and other consumer
loans, credit reporting, money transfers,
debt collection, payday loans, prepaid
cards, credit repair and debt settlement
services, title and pawn loans, and
virtual currencies. The CFPB’s contact
centers can assist consumers with
complaints in over 180 languages, and
consumers have the option to receive
written communications in Spanish.
The contact centers also accept inquiries
from consumers on various consumer
financial products and services as well
as CFPB news and operations. The
Bureau works to respond to these
inquiries or refers consumers to other
regulators and resources, as needed.
