Mixing it up from the standard monthly complaint report, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s June snapshot presented a detailed breakdown of consumer complaints in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
“The Bureau’s ability to receive and process consumer complaints enables us to hear directly from people about their concerns and helps us prioritize our work to protect others against similar problems,” said CFPB Director Richard Cordray. “This report provides valuable information to the CFPB and the public about issues and trends we are seeing from each state.”
The CFPB handles more than 20,000 complaints every month, and overall, it has received more than 1,163,156 complaints since 2011.
The chart below dissects all the complaints, showing which financial areas received the most complaints. One note: The CFPB considers a response to be timely if the company responds within 15 days.
