We’ve updated our CFPB complaint dashboard for August below/
If you are unfamiliar with the dashboard, it includes a company-by-company analysis of response times to complaints to the CFPB. Users can select a company from the pull-down menu. Then, using the dot-plot, you can compare that company to any of the more than 81,000 companies in the CFPB database in terms of timely response to complaints. As you work with the dot-plot, remember that blue is positive, meaning timely responses, and orange is negative.
Users can also do a deep dive on a company’s performance relative to a number of factors:
- Total number of complaints
- Complaints over time
- Percent of complaints that are responded to in a timely manner (i.e. within 30 days)
- Breakdown of product type (i.e. mortgage, debt collection)
- Source of complaint
- And if the consumer disputed the response
To summarize:
- August complaints totaled 28,744, down 29% from July’s all-time high of 40,188
- August 2020 complaints are up 12% versus the same month a year ago
- Since the program began, more than 1.73 million complaints have been filed
- Of all complaints filed, 97.8% are addressed on a timely basis, a level that remains unchanged from our previous update,
- As you can see in the table below, the vast majority of complaints filed with the CFPB are related to credit reporting.
