                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, December 6, 2007

  Mrs. MALONEY of New York. Madam Speaker, this bill, the ``Financial 
Consumer Hotline Act of 2007,'' would establish a single, toll-free 
telephone number consumers can call if they have a question for or 
problem with their bank and want to speak to the bank's federal or 
state regulator. A number of different governing bodies currently 
regulate banks, which can make it difficult for consumers to figure out 
who they should contact with concerns and complaints. The bill would 
also establish a corresponding informational website.
