The City of Boston will be forwarding calls from residents to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau when the callers have questions or complaints about financial products and services, the city announced yesterday.
Those who call the city’s 24-hour hotline at (617) 635-4500 with questions about such matters as credit cards, mortgages and loans will be connected with the CFPB, who will provide answers and process complaints. The CFPB screens complaints and contacts companies on behalf of consumers, requesting feedback from companies within 15 days and a resolution within 60 days.
