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 Zeller & Associates, LLC

12 complaints against Zeller & Associates, LLC appear in the CFPB record, including 0 from the trailing year. The 9 states and territories represented put this footprint in geographically concentrated territory. 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 "Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed," a reasonable starting point for understanding recurring friction.

Zeller & Associates, LLC's timely response rate stands at 41.7%, meaning that share of CFPB-forwarded complaints received a company reply within the 15-day window the Bureau expects. That trails the 95% benchmark badly, a red flag given how strongly late or missing responses predict CFPB supervisory attention. Resolved cases drew a formal consumer-dispute rate of 33.3% - a rough measure of how often the first resolution missed the mark. Among resolved complaints, the consumer-relief closure rate is 0%.

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.
