Proposed Language Access Plan 

The text of the Proposed Language 

Access Plan follows: 

Consistent with Executive Order 

13166 (Aug. 11, 2000), this document 

establishes the Language Access Plan of 

the Consumer Financial Protection 

Bureau (Bureau or CFPB) for addressing 

meaningful access to CFPB services for 

Limited English Proficiency (LEP) 

persons (individuals who do not speak 

English as their primary language and 

who have a limited ability to speak, 

write, or understand English). 

The CFPB is committed to improving 

the accessibility of its services to LEP 

persons. In developing its Language 

Access Plan, the CFPB engaged 

stakeholders to understand the 

opportunities to serve LEP persons and 

to ensure LEP individuals have access to 

the CFPB’s programs and services. 

To ensure meaningful access, the 

Bureau considers the following factors: 

(1) The number or proportion of LEP 

persons who would not receive the 

Bureau’s services absent efforts to 

remove language barriers; (2) The 

frequency and number of contact by LEP 

persons with the Bureau’s services; (3) 

The nature and importance of the 

services provided by the Bureau to 

people’s lives; and (4) The resources 

available to the Bureau (including costbenefit analysis) to provide services to 

LEP persons. 

The CFPB provides LEP individuals 

with access to information, services, 

activities, and programs through the 

following activities: 

1. Translating Consumer-Facing 

Documents 

The Bureau translates critical 

consumer-facing documents into the 

most frequently encountered languages, 

as established by U.S. Census Bureau 

data or based on specific issues affecting 

a particular group of LEP individuals. 

The Bureau publishes a wider range of 

consumer-facing documents in Spanish 

than other frequently encountered 

languages. 

Translating public-facing documents 

into the languages most frequently 

encountered 6 is important when 

reaching LEP individuals. Given that 

Hispanics constitute 16.7 percent of the 

nation’s total population, making them 

the nation’s largest ethnic or racial 

minority, and that 62 percent of people 

who speak a language other than 

English at home speak Spanish,7 the 

Bureau translates certain consumerfacing materials into Spanish. The CFPB 

has also translated brochures, fact sheets 

and other materials about certain topics 

into Chinese, French, French Cre ́ole, 

Korean, Tagalog, and Vietnamese. The 

Bureau audits translated materials to 

ensure quality and accuracy. 

2. Handling Complaints From 

Consumers About Consumer Financial 

Products and Services 

The Bureau’s Office of Consumer 

Response (Consumer Response) hears 

directly from consumers about the 

challenges they face in the marketplace 

and brings consumers’ concerns to the 

attention of consumer financial product 

or service providers. Consumer 

Response currently accepts complaints 

about credit cards, mortgages, bank 

accounts and services, private student 

loans, vehicle and other consumer 

loans, credit reporting, money transfers, 

debt collection, payday loans, prepaid 

cards, credit repair and debt settlement 

services, title and pawn loans, and 

virtual currencies. The CFPB’s contact 

centers can assist consumers with 

complaints in over 180 languages, and 

consumers have the option to receive 

written communications in Spanish. 

The contact centers also accept inquiries 

from consumers on various consumer 

financial products and services as well 

as CFPB news and operations. The 

Bureau works to respond to these 

inquiries or refers consumers to other 

regulators and resources, as needed.

Director, Bureau of Consumer Financial 

Protection.
