What the CFPB Record Shows for First Advantage LNS Inc.
According to the CFPB Consumer Complaint Database as aggregated by PlainCredit, First Advantage LNS Inc. ranks #184 of 656 debt collectors by debt-collection complaint volume (72nd percentile), using the same dc_complaints sort as the Collectors directory. 489 debt-collection complaints against First Advantage LNS Inc. appear in the CFPB record - 77.4% of the 632 complaints filed about this entity. The 34 states and territories represented make this a multi-state operation by complaint volume. Consumers most frequently describe "Other debt" as the debt type behind their complaint about this collector. The single most-cited specific issue is "Attempts to collect debt not owed" - a useful starting point for understanding where the friction between this collector and consumers most frequently occurs.
The company's timely response rate is 72.6%, meaning that share of CFPB-forwarded complaints received a reply within the 15-day window the Bureau expects. That is far under the 95% benchmark, a material red flag since late or missing responses are strongly linked to CFPB supervisory action against collectors. Among resolved cases, 63.1% ended with monetary or non-monetary relief to the consumer - a relatively high rate for this segment. The response was formally disputed in 22.6% of resolved cases, indicating how frequently the initial fix fell short.
