Consumer finance can be quite the headache for non-experts.  The complicated terminology and extensive knowledge required to make informed financial decisions is something that should be carefully reviewed prior to making any major credit or loan decisions.  The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is designed to provide all of the resources consumers need to make informed decisions and understand the details of their credit decisions.

Many people learn about this resource after they have been subject to something such as a credit check.  If a bank runs your credit score for something such as a credit card application you may receive a notification which provides the results of the credit pull.  The information will often include your credit score and the source from which the score was obtained.

• Under the Tools and Resources heading consumers can find a frequently asked question section which will provide information about the most common questions
• For home buyers, it is important to make sure you understand the specifics of your mortgage – the bureau provides a wealth of resources regarding the process and implications of a loan
