What the CFPB Complaint Record Shows for Wilson, Riley & Associates

The CFPB Consumer Complaint Database has logged 23 complaints against Wilson, Riley & Associates overall, with 0 of those filed in the trailing 12 months. Reports have come from consumers in 14 states and territories, making this a geographically concentrated complaint footprint. No product draws more complaints than "Debt collection," which sits at the top of the product breakdown. The specific issue named most within that category is "Taking/threatening an illegal action," a reasonable starting point for understanding recurring friction.

Within the Bureau's 15-day response window, Wilson, Riley & Associates posts a 43.5% reply rate on forwarded complaints. That trails the 95% benchmark badly, a red flag given how strongly late or missing responses predict CFPB supervisory attention.

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.
