What the CFPB Complaint Record Shows for Hollis Cobb Associates
222 complaints against Hollis Cobb Associates appear in the CFPB record, including 45 from the trailing year. The 26 states and territories represented put this footprint in multi-regional territory. "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.
Hollis Cobb Associates's timely response rate stands at 95.5%, 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. The company's response carried a 21.1% formal-dispute rate on resolved cases, indicating how frequently the initial fix fell short. Among resolved complaints, 14.4% 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.
