What the CFPB Record Shows for Kimball, Tirey & St. John LLP

851 debt-collection complaints against Kimball, Tirey & St. John LLP appear in the CFPB record - 80.8% of the 1,053 complaints filed about this entity. The 40 states and territories represented make this a nationwide operation by complaint volume. Consumers most frequently describe "Rental 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.

96.8% of CFPB-forwarded complaints against this company get a reply inside the Bureau's 15-day window. That is at or above benchmark levels, pointing to an intake process working as intended. Among resolved cases, 0.5% ended with monetary or non-monetary relief to the consumer - a notably low rate worth weighing against the dispute percentage. Consumers formally disputed the company's response in 19.8% of resolved cases, signalling how often the initial resolution failed to satisfy the complainant.

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.
