What the CFPB Complaint Record Shows for Jon Barry and Associates, Inc.
The CFPB Consumer Complaint Database shows a multi-regional complaint footprint for Jon Barry and Associates, Inc., with consumers across the country filing against it. No product draws more complaints than "Debt collection," which sits at the top of the product breakdown. Within that category, the most frequently cited specific issue is "Attempts to collect debt not owed" - a useful starting point for anyone trying to understand what goes wrong most often in the company's consumer interactions.
The timely-response measure counts forwarded complaints answered inside the Bureau's 15-day window. This company's rate clears the industry benchmark, pointing to intake and escalation processes that are working as intended. A formal dispute means the consumer contested the company's response after a case was resolved, a rough measure of how often the first resolution missed the mark. Relief means the case closed with monetary or non-monetary help for the consumer. Both rates sit in the score card above.
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.
Educational data summary, not financial or legal advice. Individual complaint outcomes vary. Consumers should consult a qualified attorney or financial advisor for guidance on a specific dispute.
