What the CFPB Complaint Record Shows for Lockhart Mediation Services

The CFPB Consumer Complaint Database has logged 13 complaints against Lockhart Mediation Services overall, with 5 of those filed in the trailing 12 months. Reports have come from consumers in 9 states and territories, making this a geographically concentrated complaint footprint. 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 "Taking/threatening an illegal action" - a useful starting point for anyone trying to understand what goes wrong most often in the company's consumer interactions.

Within the Bureau's 15-day response window, Lockhart Mediation Services posts a 46.2% reply rate on forwarded complaints. That is well below the 95% industry benchmark and is a material red flag, late or missing responses are one of the strongest predictors of CFPB supervisory interest. Consumers formally disputed the company's response at a 16.7% 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 0%.

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.
