What the CFPB Complaint Record Shows for Lazarus Financial Group, Inc.(Closed)

Lazarus Financial Group, Inc.(Closed) carries 48 complaints in the CFPB's database, 0 of them filed within the past 12 months. Consumers spanning 12 states and territories have weighed in, giving this a geographically concentrated footprint. The single largest complaint category is "Debt collection," which consistently leads the product-level breakdown and signals where consumer friction is most acute. The specific issue named most within that category is "Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed," a reasonable starting point for understanding recurring friction.

Lazarus Financial Group, Inc.(Closed)'s timely response rate stands at 50%, meaning that share of CFPB-forwarded complaints received a company reply within the 15-day window the Bureau expects. That trails the 95% benchmark badly, a red flag given how strongly late or missing responses predict CFPB supervisory attention. Consumers formally disputed the company's response at a 20.8% rate among resolved cases, a signal of how often the initial resolution failed to satisfy the complainant. Among resolved complaints, the consumer-relief closure rate is 4.2%.

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.
