Coastal Finance Company, Inc.'s timely response rate stands at 88.2%, meaning that share of CFPB-forwarded complaints received a company reply within the 15-day window the Bureau expects. That sits below the 95% industry benchmark and tends to correlate with higher consumer dispute rates downstream.

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.
