Tate and Kirlin Assoc carries 299 complaints in the CFPB's database, 34 of them filed within the past 12 months.

"Debt collection" tops the product-level breakdown by a clear margin, marking it as the area of greatest consumer friction. Within that category, the most frequently cited specific issue is "Attempts to collect debt not owed" - a useful starting point for anyone trying to understand what goes wrong most often in the company's consumer interactions.
CFPB-forwarded complaints against Tate and Kirlin Assoc draw a 82.3% reply rate inside the Bureau's 15-day window. That falls short of the 95% benchmark, a gap that tends to track with more disputes downstream. Consumers formally disputed the company's response at a 14.5% rate among resolved cases, a signal of how often the initial resolution failed to satisfy the complainant. Among resolved complaints, 1% 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.
