Consistent with the Bureau’s policy statement on Disclosure of Consumer Complaint Data, the Bureau will evaluate the data collected from consumer feedback before publication on the Consumer Complaint Database. The Bureau anticipates publication of consumer feedback to highlight positive company behavior, provide consumers with timely and understandable information about consumer financial products and services, and improve the functioning, transparency, and efficiency of markets for such products and services. Only those feedback narratives for which optin consumer consent is obtained, and to which robust personal information scrubbing standard and methodology is applied, will be eligible for publication. This information collection reflects comments received in response to the Notice and Request for Information (RFI) the Bureau issued on March 24, 2015 (80 FR 15583), seeking input from the public on the potential collection and sharing of information about consumers’ positive interactions with financial service providers including providing more information about a company’s complaint handling such as highlighting the quality of responses to consumers by replacing the consumer ‘‘dispute’’ function with a two-part consumer feedback process. The consumer will have the ability to rate the company’s response to and handling of his or her complaint on a one to five scale and provide a narrative description in support of the rating. Positive feedback about the company’s handling of the consumer’s complaint would be reflected by both high satisfaction scores and by the narrative in support of the score. Negative feedback about the company’s handling of the consumer’s complaint would be better supported and more useful to companies than the current ‘‘dispute’’ function. The Company Response Survey will replace the ‘‘dispute’’ option and allow consumers to offer both positive and negative feedback on their complaint experience.
