The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau yesterday released its latest monthly consumer complaints snapshot, which highlights credit card complaints. Consumers’ most frequent credit card-related complaints were about incurring late fees and credit report problems due to confusing payment processing schedules and difficulty disputing bill inaccuracies. This month’s snapshot also highlights trends seen in complaints coming from the Chicago metro area. As of Oct. 1, 2015 the Bureau has handled more than 726,000 complaints across all products.
