The 26 states and territories represented make this a multi-state operation by complaint volume.

"Attempts to collect debt not owed" comes up most often as the specific issue cited - worth a look for anyone trying to spot this collector's recurring pain point.
The company's timely response rate is 95%, meaning that share of CFPB-forwarded complaints received a reply within the 15-day window the Bureau expects. That is at or above benchmark levels, pointing to an intake process working as intended. Among resolved cases, 2% ended with monetary or non-monetary relief to the consumer - a notably low rate worth weighing against the dispute percentage.

How to read these numbers, and what to do if you're disputing a charge
Complaint volume alone does not prove wrongdoing, larger collection portfolios naturally produce more complaints, but the combination of timely-response rate, relief ratio, and dispute rate above gives a reasonable empirical picture of how this collector handles consumer interactions. Anyone in active dispute with this company should keep written records, use certified mail for verification requests (see your FDCPA rights above), and consider filing a CFPB complaint if standard resolution channels stall.
