Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
reviews and complaints

Yo, so I gotta say, this Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ain't all that. I mean, I tried to file a complaint about Navy Federal doing some shady stuff to me, and they didn't do jack squat. And get this, Navy Federal got fined for doing the same thing to their customers seven years ago! But nope, the CFPB just helped them out instead of helping me out. Like, what a joke, am I right?

Yo, so I checked out the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau website and it's pretty dope. They got mad info on all kinds of financial stuff, like credit and loans and retirement and all that jazz. It's super helpful if you're trying to figure out how to manage your money better or just need some guidance on a specific financial topic.

One thing I really like about the site is that they have a bunch of tools and resources that can help you make informed decisions about your finances. For example, they have a tool that lets you compare different credit card offers to see which one might be the best fit for you. They also have guides on things like buying a house or paying off student loans, which can be really helpful if you're not sure where to start.

Overall, I think the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau website is a great resource for anyone who wants to get a better handle on their finances. It's easy to navigate and has a ton of useful information that can help you make smarter financial decisions. So if you're looking to get your money game on point, definitely check it out.

This here "consumer" agency ain't worth a dime! They say they're here to help us regular folks with our bank troubles, but all they do is send an email to the bank and call it a day. Then they come back to us with whatever the bank says, and that's that. It's like they're on the bank's side or something. What a joke! Don't waste your time with these guys.

I was really hoping that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) would be the answer to all our consumer protection problems against big finance. Unfortunately, my recent experience with the CFPB has left me disappointed and frustrated. I filed a detailed complaint against Discover Financial, providing evidence and admissions from the company regarding their mistake which caused me financial harm. However, the CFPB did not take any action against Discover and instead seemed to be covering for them.

It's really disheartening to see that even when you file a legitimate complaint with the CFPB, nothing seems to come of it. It feels like they just go through the motions and ultimately side with big finance. I was hoping that at the very least, the CFPB would give big finance a slap on the wrist to let them know that someone is watching them. But it seems like that's not the case.

It's frustrating to see that our tax dollars are being wasted on an agency that doesn't seem to be doing much to protect consumers. I really hope that the CFPB can step up their game and start taking consumer complaints seriously. Until then, I don't have much faith in their ability to protect us from big finance.

Hey there, if you're reading this, you might have checked out my other reviews. This one is all about the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, also known as consumerfinance.gov.

Now, let me tell you, the CFPB was created after the last financial crisis to protect us regular consumers and hold those accountable who harm us. But in 2017, things changed. The CFPB became an enabler and protective force for parties that harm consumers. And to make matters worse, they don't answer to anyone.

I mean, how are we supposed to trust that the CFPB will fight for us when they're not even doing their job? It's like they're choosing not to protect the United States, which is just not right.

I recently sent a report to the 2022 White House, who then sent everything to the FTC. And guess what? The FTC filled a complaint against the CFPB with the CFPB. And when I received the response from the CFPB, they told me that I didn't file the complaint, the FTC did. Like, why are they telling me this? It just doesn't make sense.

And let's not forget that in 2017, Wall Street was given a green light to destroy the economy and get away with it. That green light is still shining bright, and it worries me. It worries the United States government and it should worry you, my internet family worldwide.

So, if you're looking for a financial protection agency that actually protects consumers, I'm not sure the CFPB is the one.

This organization, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (consumerfinance.gov), is a complete fraud, just like the FDA. They don't care about consumers and they aid and abet banks in committing crimes against them. The reps who work for them are also in on the crimes being committed and they are very much aware of what they are doing. Most of the reps are incredibly rude and will hang up on you if they don't want to deal with your claim. They will do whatever it takes to protect the company over the consumer.

The other review about them not even investigating any complaints is 100% true. They will always close the complaint, letting the fraud banks/companies spew lies and they will not allow you to respond to the company's response. They truly are a shell of their former selves. I have no clue why this company outright lies that they help consumers. It is obvious they must be a front for something. You will be wasting your time contacting them. Just because they have a few pages telling you how to protect yourself from fraud doesn't mean they are not committing fraud.

If you want to protect yourself from fraud, you might have more luck with your state's DOJ consumer division. However, even then, if the bank/company is big enough, no one will bother because they don't want to stir the pot with companies that have enough money to hire teams of lawyers. It's a sad state of affairs, but that's the reality we live in.

I'm an IT professional and I'm always amazed at how many people fall for scams. That's why I decided to put together a list of things to watch out for. First and foremost, no reputable business or government agency will ever call you or ask you for money. If you do get a call from someone claiming to be from a business or government agency, hang up immediately and do not speak to them. Then, look up the number of the place that called you and call them to ask if they were really trying to reach you. The answer will always be no.

Another thing to watch out for is emails that claim there's something wrong with one of your accounts or that there's some kind of issue. Ignore these emails and do not respond. If you think you should talk to them, call them, but do NOT call the number in the email. Look up the number yourself. The business you think the email came from will tell you they would never send you an email like that.

Don't get caught up in calling a number from an email. That's definitely a scam. If you suddenly see a flashing screen saying you've been hacked, it's also a scam. Do not call the number on the screen. Close your browser and reboot your computer. You will see that the flashing screen will be gone. Remember, DO NOT CALL THE NUMBER ON THE SCREEN.

The bottom line is that once someone starts asking for money or they want to fix your account or they're trying to help you, but want you to give them money, they are scammers. If you receive an email that says you won something or something is being shipped to you, remember that if it's too good to be true, then it is. Don't believe it. They are trying to scam you.

Before you do anything you might regret, get hold of the company directly and ask them if it was them that sent the email or called you or any other kind of contact method. The answer will always be NO. Be smart, be safe, and keep your hard-earned money. Don't be one of the millions that are scammed each year.

There are also other miscellaneous scams to watch out for. For example, you might be told you won a sweepstakes or lottery that you didn't enter, or that you're owed money from a class-action lawsuit. You might be asked to pay upfront taxes or fees, either foreign or domestic. You might be pressured to act now, and in the most recent scam involving us, the scammers will threaten that the CFPB will open an investigation if you don't send your payment. Scammers don't want you to take the time to do research or to think too carefully before parting with your money.

Finally, a person claiming to be a government official might contact you to confirm your windfall. The emails sent may even appear to be from real government email addresses, but if you look further, the email used is not a ".gov" email. Be careful and always double-check before giving out any personal information or money. Stay safe out there!
