What the CFPB Complaint Record Shows for Sezzle Inc.

Sezzle Inc. carries 1,037 complaints in the CFPB's database, 576 of them filed within the past 12 months. Consumers spanning 46 states and territories have weighed in, giving this a nationwide footprint. The single largest complaint category is "Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports," which consistently leads the product-level breakdown and signals where consumer friction is most acute. The specific issue named most within that category is "Incorrect information on your report," a reasonable starting point for understanding recurring friction.

CFPB-forwarded complaints against Sezzle Inc. draw a 91.1% reply rate inside the Bureau's 15-day window. That sits below the 95% industry benchmark and tends to correlate with higher consumer dispute rates downstream. Among resolved complaints, the consumer-relief closure rate is 1.4%.

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.
