The Intake Form is designed to aid consumers in the submission of complaints, questions, and comments and to help the CFPB fulfill the CFPB's statutory requirements. Consumers (hereinafter "respondents") will be able to complete and submit information through the Intake Form electronically on the CFPB's website. Alternatively, respondents may request that the CFPB email a fillable PDF version or, by telephone, request a "paper" copy of the Intake Form, and then email, mail, or fax it to the CFPB. The questions within the Intake Form prompt respondents for a description of, and key facts about, the complaint at issue, the desired resolution, contact and account information, information about the institution they are filing a complaint against, and any previous action taken to attempt to resolve the complaint.
