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 88.9%, meaning that share of CFPB-forwarded complaints received a reply within the 15-day window the Bureau expects.

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.
