What the CFPB Record Shows for Southern Credit Recovery, Inc.

According to the CFPB Consumer Complaint Database as aggregated by PlainCredit, Southern Credit Recovery, Inc. ranks #558 of 656 debt collectors by debt-collection complaint volume (15th percentile), using the same dc_complaints sort as the Collectors directory. The CFPB has logged 117 debt-collection complaints against Southern Credit Recovery, Inc., 87.3% of the 134 complaints filed against this entity overall. Consumers in 7 states and territories have filed reports, putting this collection operation in geographically focused territory by complaint volume. The most common debt type behind these complaints is "Medical debt," which is the category consumers most often describe when they file a CFPB report about this collector. "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 88.1%, meaning that share of CFPB-forwarded complaints received a reply within the 15-day window the Bureau expects. That falls short of the 95% benchmark, a gap that tends to track with more disputes downstream. Of resolved cases, 0.7% 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 16.2% of resolved cases, indicating how frequently the initial fix fell short.
