What the CFPB Complaint Record Shows for Patenaude & Felix A Professional Corporation
Patenaude & Felix A Professional Corporation draws a multi-regional spread of CFPB complaints, filed by consumers in many parts of the country. 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 "Took or threatened to take negative or legal action" - 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 falls short of the 95% benchmark, a gap that tends to track with more disputes downstream. 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.
