What the CFPB Complaint Record Shows for Franklin American Mortgage Co.

The CFPB Consumer Complaint Database has logged 233 complaints against Franklin American Mortgage Co. overall, with 0 of those filed in the trailing 12 months. Reports have come from consumers in 40 states and territories, making this a nationwide complaint footprint. The single largest complaint category is "Mortgage," 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 "Loan servicing, payments, escrow account" — a useful starting point for anyone trying to understand what goes wrong most often in the company's consumer interactions.

Franklin American Mortgage Co.'s timely response rate stands at 96.6%, meaning that share of CFPB-forwarded complaints received a company reply within the 15-day window the Bureau expects. That figure is at or above the industry benchmark and suggests the company's intake and escalation processes are functioning as designed. Consumers formally disputed the company's response in 23.7% of resolved cases, a signal of how often the initial resolution failed to satisfy the complainant. Of complaints that were resolved, 10.3% 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.
