CFPB-forwarded complaints against Equidata, Inc. draw a 51.8% reply rate inside the Bureau's 15-day window. 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.

Resolved complaints closed with monetary or non-monetary relief for the consumer at a 0% 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.
