SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 

17, 2014, the Bureau issued the 

Proposed Policy Statement. The 

Proposed Policy Statement was 

published in the Federal Register on 

July 23, 2014. The Proposed Policy 

Statement seeks comment, data and 

information from the public on the 

Bureau’s proposal to include narratives 

in the Consumer Complaint Database. 

On December 8, 2011, the Bureau 

published in the Federal Register a 

proposed policy statement describing its 

plans to disclose certain data about the 

credit card complaints that consumers 

submit to the Bureau (December 2011 

Proposed Policy Statement).1 After 

receiving and considering a number of 

comments, the Bureau finalized its 

plans for publically disclosing data from 

consumer credit card complaints and 

published the final policy statement on 

June 22, 2012 (June 2012 Policy 

Statement).2

Also on June 22, 2012, the Bureau 

concurrently published in the Federal 

Register a proposed policy statement 

describing its plans to disclose data 

from consumer complaints about 

financial products and services other 

than credit cards (June 2012 Proposed 

Policy Statement).3 After receiving and 

considering a number of comments, the 

Bureau published the final policy 

statement on March 25, 2013 (March 

2013 Policy Statement).4 In the June 

2012 Proposed Policy Statement, the 

Bureau did not propose including 

narratives in the Consumer Complaint 

Database. 

Notwithstanding this, the Bureau 

received a significant number of 

comments specific to narrative 

disclosure. Consumer, civil rights, and 

open government groups supported 

disclosure on the grounds that 

disclosing narratives would provide 

consumers with more useful 

information on which to base financial 

decisions and would allow reviewers to 

assess the validity of the complaints. 

Two privacy groups, while 

acknowledging privacy risk stemming 

from publication of ‘‘non-identifiable’’ 

data and calling for further study, 

supported disclosure on an opt-in basis. 

Trade groups and industry commenters 

nearly uniformly opposed disclosure of 

consumer complaint narratives. 

The Bureau believes that the utility of 

the overall Consumer Complaint 

Database would greatly increase with 

the inclusion of narratives. This could 

lead to increased use by advocates, 

academics, the press, and entrepreneurs, 

which itself would lead to increased 

consumer contacts with the Bureau. 

The Bureau believes that the 

aforementioned increase in benefits and 

utility would lead to an increase in 

consumer contacts, which would have a 

positive effect on Bureau operations. As 

a critical mass of complaint data is 

achieved and exceeded, the 

representativeness of Bureau complaint 

data increases. Thus, narratives would 

not only enhance the above consumer 

benefits but also the many Bureau 

functions that rely, in part, on 

complaint data to perform their 

respective missions including the 

Offices of Supervision, Enforcement, 

and Fair Lending, Consumer Education 

and Engagement, and Research, 

Markets, and Rulemaking. 

The Bureau balances interested 

parties’ desire to have additional time to 

consider the issues raised in the 

Proposed Policy Statement, gather data, 

and prepare their responses, with the 

need to proceed expeditiously to 

consider comments and determine 

whether to issue a final policy 

statement. The Bureau believes that a 

60-day extension is appropriate. The 

comment period therefore will close on 

September 22, 2014. 

Dated: July 29, 2014.

Deputy Chief of Staff, Bureau of Consumer 

Financial Protection.
