Disclosure of Consumer Complaint Narrative Data

Resumen

The Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) currently discloses certain complaint data it receives regarding consumer financial products and services via its web-based, public-facing database (Consumer Complaint Database). On July 23, 2014, the Bureau published in the Federal Register a Notice of Proposed Policy Statement with Request for Public Comment (Proposed Policy Statement) proposing to expand its disclosure to include unstructured consumer complaint narrative data (narratives). The Proposed Policy Statement provided a 30-day comment period that will end on August 22, 2014. To allow interested persons additional time to consider and submit their responses, the Bureau has determined that an extension of the comment period until September 22, 2014, is appropriate.
