Empower consumers through complaint details
Date: Tue, August 19, 2014
Consumers may have a simple, powerful tool to help protect them from deceptive or dangerous financial products and practices.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has proposed to empower consumers through the use of consumer complaint details. But the financial services industry has created a counter campaign to distort the facts and smear the agency.
This is where you come in. You can let decision makers know that you stand for consumer protection.
