What the CFPB Complaint Record Shows for Child Support Recovery Services, Inc.

The CFPB Consumer Complaint Database has logged 38 complaints against Child Support Recovery Services, Inc. overall, with 5 of those filed in the trailing 12 months. Reports have come from consumers in 11 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 "Incorrect information on your report" - a useful starting point for anyone trying to understand what goes wrong most often in the company's consumer interactions.

Child Support Recovery Services, Inc.'s timely response rate stands at 81.6%, meaning that share of CFPB-forwarded complaints received a company 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.

Resolved complaints closed with monetary or non-monetary relief for the consumer at a 2.6% rate.

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.
