consumer financial laws, write better
rules and regulations and monitor the
market for consumer financial products
and services. 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.
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
