What is the CPFB Looking For?
Given the CFPB’s public treatment of complaints, the better option is to have complaints go straight to your firm, rather than having the customer feel the need to approach a regulator. Working directly with the customer for a satisfactory and timely resolution ensures that complaints against your products or services are not put in the spotlight by the CFPB. Complaints can also be a blessing in disguise, acting as valuable feedback to help your firm improve its interactions with customers. Respond’s Self-Service interface is the perfect way for you to capture your customers feedback, directly from their fingertips, removing barriers and worries such as “I’m not calling a premium rate phone line” or “My email will disappear into a generic inbox”.
LEAVE A PAPER TRAILAudits and investigations form part of the CFPB’s supervision responsibilities. Providing adequate resolutions to customer complaints is just the beginning. Proving your firm currently has a robust, fair and consistent complaint management system and process will be an important part of meeting CFPB’s guidelines. With Respond, all your complaints information will be stored in one place, enabling you to easily review case history and report on the metrics that matter.
BE FLEXIBLERegulation and policy can and will change. While your firm’s current processes are meeting today’s guidelines – who knows what tomorrow’s requirements will be. When (not if) change does occur, it is important that you can easily transition to the new way of working, cost-effectively and with confidence. Respond is easy to configure to comply with changes in regulation, and workflows can be updated as often as you need.
