In an age when it's so hard to get customer service AND the government seems so disconnected from what people want and need- WHY would the CFPB try to cut down on of the federal government's most impactful consumer features?!

Done! I recently used the portal to resolve an identity theft issue that PayPal and their collection agency simply refused to address. I filed a CFPB complaint in its portal along with documentary evidence, they notified the implicated vendors, and the issue was resolved almost immediately.

CFPB complaints light fires under companies trying to slow roll you.
We lost our Toyota in a flash flood. Insurance covered it, sent the payoff to Toyota's Finance Bank.
Toyota screwed around, said it wasn't received, messed with our credit. We filed w/CFPB and POOF, things sorted in a day or so.

I used to work for a Very Big Bank. CFPB complaints got their attention like nothing else. I hated dropping everything to research a complaint but they were always THAT important to the brass.
As a consumer, this disgusts and offends me. This is “fuck the poor” predatory bullshit at its finest.

$19.7 billion in consumer relief.

Sometimes the banks are being *seriously annoying* and WILL NOT help. Like when the CFPB complaint portal helped this person: bsky.app/profile/pcas...
A bank was trying to rip me off and wouldn't respond to emails, letters, phone calls etc. for months. I filed a complaint with the CFPB online and the banks got back to me in a few days. Problem solved. The work CFPB does is essential!
Last week, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) announced a historic $1.8 BILLION settlement for 4.3 million people who were charged illegal fees or defrauded by credit repair companies.
Remember this the next time a billionaire says they want to get rid of the CFPB.

Liz, I've received help twice from the CFPB, once when a very untrained customer service person froze all of my accounts at Capital One & didn't have access to my money for a month til I filed an online complaint with the CFPB. Within days it was resolved & they even called to apologize. Thank you!

It's almost as though fraudsters and scammers heard the CFPB and FTC have been kneecapped.
“Instead of doing their job, we have watched the Trump CFPB fire its enforcement attorneys, shut down the agency, [and] take the name off the building. So of course, that’s a giant ‘open for business’ sign for every two-bit fraudster in America.”
