A Blog post celebrating Memorial Day noted that the CFPB’s Office of Servicemember Affairs seeks to educate and engage with the public about consumer finance as it impacts servicemembers and their families. At www.consumerfinance.gov, servicemembers and their families can find information on a host of initiatives, including ways in which the CFPB seeks to combat financial scams targeted at military consumers. Consumers can also find innovative tools, including the Financial Aid Comparison Shopper, complete with military benefits calculator, and student loan complaint system, equipped to field concerns from servicemembers, veterans, and their families.
