The specific issue named most within that category is "Attempts to collect debt not owed," a reasonable starting point for understanding recurring friction.
CFPB-forwarded complaints against Hauge Associates, Inc. draw a 100% reply rate inside the Bureau's 15-day window.

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.
