Rising year-over-year volume

Louisiana in the higher-rate third

Consumers in Louisiana have filed 300,172 CFPB complaints (6562.9 per 100,000 residents) - a higher-third per-capita rate among states and territories in this extract. "Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports" leads the product mix - the usual friction point when per-capita volume runs hot. Equifax, Inc. draws the most complaints from Louisiana residents in the top-companies table above. On the per-capita ladder, nearest peers are Delaware and Mississippi.

Year-over-year, complaint volume from Louisiana rose from 56,673 in 2024 to 129,675 in 2025 - a change of +129%. 35,420 complaints have been logged for 2026 so far in this extract, a partial year that should not be compared directly to a full prior year. A swing this large on an already high-rate state can coincide with a servicing failure at a major bureau or a local enforcement wave - still check the company table before inferring a statewide crisis.
