Consumers in 42 states and territories have filed reports, putting this collection operation in nationwide territory by complaint volume. Consumers most frequently describe "Other debt" as the debt type behind their complaint 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 100%, 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. Of resolved cases, 0% 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. The response was formally disputed in 18.6% of resolved cases, indicating how frequently the initial fix fell short.

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.
