Got a grievance against a credit bureau? Post your complaint here, and you’re more likely to get a response.

Sometimes it pays to complain.

This is especially true at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The watchdog agency has a complaint database consumers can use to ask for help in resolving financial issues, such as problems with a mortgage, debt or student loan.

In fact, if you’ve tried to get a credit bureau to remove erroneous information without any progress, try submitting your complaint here: consumerfinance.gov/complaint.
