What the CFPB Complaint Record Shows for Certified Solutions, Inc

Certified Solutions, Inc carries 69 complaints in the CFPB's database, 9 of them filed within the past 12 months. Consumers spanning 7 states and territories have weighed in, giving this a geographically concentrated footprint. No product draws more complaints than "Debt collection," which sits at the top of the product breakdown. Inside that category, "Attempts to collect debt not owed" comes up most often - worth a look for anyone trying to spot the company's recurring pain point.

Certified Solutions, Inc's timely response rate stands at 53.6%, meaning that share of CFPB-forwarded complaints received a company reply within the 15-day window the Bureau expects. That trails the 95% benchmark badly, a red flag given how strongly late or missing responses predict CFPB supervisory attention. Consumers formally disputed the company's response at a 0% rate among resolved cases, a signal of how often the initial resolution failed to satisfy the complainant. Among resolved complaints, 0% closed with some form of monetary or non-monetary relief to the consumer.

How to read complaint counts

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, and the ratio of monetary-relief closures to closed-without-relief outcomes. Together, these fields provide context for reading the published CFPB record; they do not establish wrongdoing or resolve an individual dispute.

Educational data summary, not financial or legal advice. Individual complaint outcomes vary. Consumers should consult a qualified attorney or financial advisor for guidance on a specific dispute.
