Number). 

Affected Public: Individuals or

Abstract: The CFPB plans to conduct

the debt collection industry. The survey 

will ask consumers about their 

experiences with debt collectors, such 

as whether they have been contacted by 

debt collectors in the past, whether they 

recognized the debt that was being 

collected, and about their interactions 

with the debt collectors. The survey will 

also ask consumers about their 

preferences for how they would like to 

be contacted by debt collectors, 

opinions about potential regulatory 

interventions in debt collection markets, 

and about their knowledge of their legal 

rights regarding debt collections. The 

information collected through this 

survey will be used to inform a CFPB 

rulemaking concerning debt collection 

and research purposes.

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Bureau, including whether the

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

or other forms of information 

technology. Comments submitted in
