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 Protas, Spivok & Collins. LLC

54 complaints against Protas, Spivok & Collins. LLC appear in the CFPB record, including 6 from the trailing year. The 5 states and territories represented put this footprint in geographically concentrated territory. 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, "Written notification about debt" comes up most often - worth a look for anyone trying to spot the company's recurring pain point.

CFPB-forwarded complaints against Protas, Spivok & Collins. LLC draw a 7.4% reply rate inside the Bureau's 15-day window. That trails the 95% benchmark badly, a red flag given how strongly late or missing responses predict CFPB supervisory attention.

Among resolved complaints, 1.9% 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.
