An excerpt from "CFPB Amends Complaint Manual; Banks Will Be Subject to Public Complaints on Credit Cards"
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), which has been taking complaints from consumers over its internet page, has updated its Complaint Systems Manual. The manual addresses how institutions should handle complaints received from consumers on credit cards and mortgages. (The CFPB plans on expanding the range of products about which consumers may complain.) In addition to more detail, the updated manual now allows an institution 15 days instead of 10 within which to give an initial response to a complaint, although the CFPB made it clear that this expected timeframe would not supersede any laws that require an earlier response. The CFPB also indicated it would be more likely to take enforcement action if an institution did not respond within 30 days of receiving the complaint, or if a response was "in progress' for more than 60 days.
