What the CFPB Complaint Record Shows for Borenstein & Associates, LLC

The CFPB Consumer Complaint Database has logged 27 complaints against Borenstein & Associates, LLC overall, with 1 of those filed in the trailing 12 months. Reports have come from consumers in 10 states and territories, making this a geographically concentrated complaint footprint. The single largest complaint category is "Debt collection," 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 "Communication tactics" — a useful starting point for anyone trying to understand what goes wrong most often in the company's consumer interactions.

Borenstein & Associates, LLC's timely response rate stands at 7.4%, meaning that share of CFPB-forwarded complaints received a company reply within the 15-day window the Bureau expects. That is well below the 95% industry benchmark and is a material red flag — late or missing responses are one of the strongest predictors of CFPB supervisory interest. Consumers formally disputed the company's response in 11.8% of resolved cases, a signal of how often the initial resolution failed to satisfy the complainant. Of complaints that were resolved, 0% 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.
