SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: Consumer Complaint Survey.
OMB Control Number: 3170-00XX.
Type of Review: New information collection.
Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 9,200.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,840.
Abstract: The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection
Act charges the CFPB with researching, analyzing, and reporting on
topics relating to the CFPB's mission including consumer behavior,
consumer awareness, and developments in markets for consumer financial
products and services. To improve its understanding of consumers and
institutional actors in financial markets, the CFPB makes use of data
collected through the complaint process. The CFPB seeks to enhance the
utility of these data by better understanding the broader population of
consumers who experience issues with their financial products and
services.
The CFPB proposes to collect data with two new surveys intended to
identify factors that influence a consumer's decision to use the
complaint process. The initial pilot survey will focus on consumers who
have experienced issues with their credit cards and will include a
sample of people who have used the CFPB's complaint process, and
another sample of people who experienced similar issues but did not
file a complaint with the CFPB. This design (known as a case-control
study) will allow us to identify key factors that are associated with
submitting regulatory complaints.
The pilot survey will inform a second survey which will focus on a
broader range of products and services. The second survey will (to the
extent feasible) cover additional products about which consumers can
submit complaints to the CFPB including (but not limited to) mortgages,
vehicle loans, bank accounts, and debts owed to third-party debt
collectors. Both surveys will collect data about factors that may play
a role in consumer's decision to submit a complaint. These include
information about their use of a given product, the problems they
encountered when using a given product, their attitudes and perceptions
towards the product and its offeror, as well as demographic
information.
Request for Comments: The CFPB published a 60-day Federal Register
notice on March 6, 2024 (89 FR 15981) under Docket Number: CFPB-2024-
0007. The CFPB is publishing this notice and soliciting comments on:
(a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the CFPB, including whether the
information will have practical utility; (b) The accuracy of the CFPB's
estimate of the burden of the collection of information, including the
validity of the methods and the assumptions used; (c) Ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected;
and (d) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology. Comments submitted
in response to this notice will be reviewed by OMB as part of its
review of this request. All comments will become a matter of public
record.
Anthony May,
Paperwork Reduction Act Officer, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
