DENVER (CBS4) – Complaints for consumer fraud were up 50% in 2020, says CoPIRG. The consumer advocacy group joined Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser to share the top complaints from Coloradans.
The CoPIRG compiled a report which says problems with financial companies like banks, credit bureaus and debt collectors were among the top complaints.
“Mistakes in credit reports lead to lower credit scores and denial of credit, housing or employment, but under President Trump, the CFPB gave the credit bureaus a free pass from handling consumer disputes in a timely manner,” said Danny Katz, CoPIRG Foundation executive director.
