The Trump administration suspended operations at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) in February 2025, causing concern for consumer protection. Financial experts suggest alternative avenues for filing complaints against financial institutions. Directly contacting a bank’s executive office can yield fast results, resolving issues within 48 hours. Filing a complaint against a bank on the Better Business Bureau website can also be effective. Seeking assistance from the State Attorney General’s office or small claims court are additional options for resolving banking issues. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Office of Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) are other avenues for filing bank complaints.
