What the CFPB Complaint Record Shows for Above Lending, Inc.

The CFPB Consumer Complaint Database has logged 24 complaints against Above Lending, Inc. overall, with 11 of those filed in the trailing 12 months. Reports have come from consumers in 12 states and territories, making this a geographically concentrated complaint footprint. The single largest complaint category is "Payday loan, title loan, personal loan, or advance loan," which consistently leads the product-level breakdown and signals where consumer friction is most acute. Within that category, the most frequently cited specific issue is "Charged fees or interest you didn't expect" — a useful starting point for anyone trying to understand what goes wrong most often in the company's consumer interactions.

Above Lending, Inc.'s timely response rate stands at 95.8%, meaning that share of CFPB-forwarded complaints received a company reply within the 15-day window the Bureau expects. That figure is at or above the industry benchmark and suggests the company's intake and escalation processes are functioning as designed. Of complaints that were resolved, 8.3% closed with some form of monetary or non-monetary relief to the consumer.

Complaint counts alone do not tell the full story — larger institutions with more customers will naturally generate more complaints in absolute terms. The more informative signals are the direction of the yearly trend shown above, the state-level concentration (which hints at regional servicing issues or regulatory exposure), and the ratio of monetary-relief closures to closed-without-relief outcomes. Taken together, these fields give consumers a reasonable empirical basis for deciding whether to escalate a dispute, and give researchers a starting point for investigating institutional patterns.
