Reference: Consumer Complaint Database Adds New Data About Credit Reporting and Money Transfer Service
From the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB):
We promised more expansions and improvements to the Consumer Complaint Database.
[Clip]
Today [May 31, 2013] we’re adding:
- Complaints about credit reports
- Complaints about money transfers
- More specificity about certain issues by adding sub-issues. For example, you’ll see more detail about the specific issue around incorrect information on a credit report such the information isn’t the consumer’s, wrong personal information, etc.
- The state where the consumer lives. We’ve always had ZIP code, but listing the state can make it even easier to put the data in context.
Adding credit report and money transfer complaints will take the number of complaints in the database to more than 113,000.
