What the CFPB Complaint Record Shows for Collection Services, Inc.
27 complaints against Collection Services, Inc. appear in the CFPB record, including 0 from the trailing year. The 11 states and territories represented put this footprint in geographically concentrated territory. "Debt collection" tops the product-level breakdown by a clear margin, marking it as the area of greatest consumer friction. The specific issue named most within that category is "Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed," a reasonable starting point for understanding recurring friction.
Within the Bureau's 15-day response window, Collection Services, Inc. posts a 70.4% reply rate on forwarded complaints. 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 20% 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.
