(Centro de Reclamo para el inversionista)
Most business in the securities industry is conducted fairly, efficiently and in a manner that satisfies everyone involved. But problems can arise. If you believe that a sales person, brokerage firm or other industry professional has treated you unfairly, contact the firm to see if you can resolve the issue. If you are still not satisfied with the firm's response, you can file a complaint with FINRA.
We investigate complaints against brokerage firms and their employees—and can take disciplinary actions against brokers and firms who violate the rules. Sanctions may include fines, suspensions, a barring from the securities industry or other appropriate sanctions.
Use these resources to help you resolve potential problems.
