Within the Bureau's 15-day response window, this company answers 86.6% of forwarded complaints. That is under the 95% benchmark collectors are expected to hit, often a precursor to higher dispute rates. Of resolved cases, 2% closed with monetary or non-monetary relief to the consumer, which is a notably low relief ratio and worth weighing against the disputed-response percentage. In 16.9% of resolved cases, the consumer formally disputed the response - a rough measure of how often the first resolution missed the mark.
