What the CFPB Record Shows for AmeriCollect

AmeriCollect sits at #59 of 656 debt collectors in this extract by debt-collection complaint volume (91st percentile), the same ordering shown on /collectors. The CFPB has logged 1,917 debt-collection complaints against AmeriCollect, 81.4% of the 2,355 complaints filed against this entity overall. Consumers in 50 states and territories have filed reports, putting this collection operation in nationwide territory by complaint volume. The most common debt type behind these complaints is "Medical debt," which is the category consumers most often describe when they file a CFPB report about this collector. The specific issue named most is "Attempts to collect debt not owed," a reasonable starting point for understanding recurring friction with this collector.

The company's timely response rate is 99.7%, meaning that share of CFPB-forwarded complaints received a reply within the 15-day window the Bureau expects. That figure meets the industry benchmark and indicates an intake process that is functioning on schedule. Of resolved cases, 1.1% 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. Consumers formally disputed the company's response in 25.4% of resolved cases, signalling how often the initial resolution failed to satisfy the complainant.
