Did your bank statement contain an error and you are unsure of the rules for getting it corrected? Did your credit card interest rate change unexpectedly? Does it seem like your bank is charging excessive fees?

If you have a question about your banking and financial life, from the appropriate steps to take to cancel automatic charges on an account to the rules regarding check cashing, you can most likely find the answer at www.helpwithmybank.gov, which provides answers to a wide range of frequently asked questions about national banks.

The site is operated by the federal Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which charters, regulates and supervises all national banks, and supervises foreign banks that operate in the U.S. The Web site provides a list of all of the banks and subsidiaries under the OCC's supervision.

Elsewhere on the site, you can find instructions on how to go about obtaining one free credit report each year, and how to correct any mistakes that you find. Also, you can find a list of tips to help fight identity theft, including information on how to contact the fraud departments of major credit bureaus, how to file a police report and how to file a complaint with the FTC.

If you have questions about other topics, check their list of most frequently asked questions. If you're not able to find the answer to your question, or even if you have a complaint about your bank, you can send a message to the comptroller's office via the site.

There's even a dictionary of banking terms and phrases. If all the changes in the financial services industry are making you a bit anxious, you can sign up to have consumer advisories sent to your e-mail account.
