What the CFPB Complaint Record Shows for Hillcrest Davidson & Associates

The CFPB Consumer Complaint Database has logged 501 complaints against Hillcrest Davidson & Associates overall, with 78 of those filed in the trailing 12 months. Reports have come from consumers in 43 states and territories, making this a nationwide complaint footprint. "Debt collection" tops the product-level breakdown by a clear margin, marking it as the area of greatest consumer friction. Inside that category, "Attempts to collect debt not owed" comes up most often - worth a look for anyone trying to spot the company's recurring pain point.

Hillcrest Davidson & Associates's timely response rate stands at 89.2%, meaning that share of CFPB-forwarded complaints received a company reply within the 15-day window the Bureau expects. That falls short of the 95% benchmark, a gap that tends to track with more disputes downstream. In 14.6% of resolved cases, the consumer formally disputed the company's response - a rough measure of how often the first resolution missed the mark. Of complaints that were resolved, 1% 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 (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.
