Raw complaint volume, not a rate: larger institutions naturally draw more CFPB complaints because they serve more customers, and a complaint is a consumer-filed record, not a proven finding of wrongdoing.

What the CFPB Complaint Record Shows for Modern Adjustment Bureau

Modern Adjustment Bureau carries 93 complaints in the CFPB's database, 36 of them filed within the past 12 months. Consumers spanning 7 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. 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.

CFPB-forwarded complaints against Modern Adjustment Bureau draw a 96.8% reply rate inside the Bureau's 15-day window. That clears the industry benchmark, pointing to intake and escalation processes that are working as intended.

Among resolved complaints, 23.7% 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.

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.
