Questions and answers
How many complaints has the CFPB received about CHERRY TECHNOLOGIES INC.?
428 in the 12 months to 1 Oct 2026 (168 in the 12 months before that) and 640 since 2023. 30 arrived in the last 30 days and 98 in the last 90 days; the most recent weeks are incomplete because a complaint is published only once the company responds or after 15 days.
How does that compare for its size?
CHERRY TECHNOLOGIES INC. could not be matched by name to a single institution in the FDIC, NCUA or HMDA files, so its complaint count cannot be set against its size here. A company with more customers can be expected to receive more complaints than one with fewer. The CFPB's own caution: “When looking at complaint volume about a company or product, consider company size and/or market share. For example, companies with more customers may have more complaints than companies with fewer customers.”
What are people complaining about?
32.7% of complaints in the last 12 months are filed under “Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports”. The issues selected most often were “Incorrect information on your report” (26.9%), “Attempts to collect debt not owed” (10.3%), “Took or threatened to take negative or legal action” (9.8%). These are the categories the consumer picks on the CFPB form; the text of complaints is not used on this site.
How does CHERRY TECHNOLOGIES INC. respond to complaints?
95.8% were closed with an explanation, 0.2% with non-monetary relief and 3% with monetary relief; 97% of responses were timely (peer median 99.9%).
Does the CFPB verify complaints?
The CFPB does not verify every allegation in a complaint before publishing it. The Bureau publishes a complaint after the company responds, confirming a commercial relationship with the consumer, or after 15 days, whichever comes first. A complaint on file is not a finding that the company did anything wrong.
Where do these figures come from?
From the CFPB Consumer Complaint Database bulk file, counted through 1 Oct 2026, using only the coded fields (company, product, issue, state, dates, company response). Company size comes from FDIC, NCUA or HMDA public files where the company appears in one. Company names are shown as the CFPB publishes them.
Provenance
Source: Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Consumer Complaint Database, bulk file downloaded 1 Oct 2026, complaints received through 1 Oct 2026. Only coded fields are used (company, product, sub-product, issue, state, dates, company response, timeliness); complaint narratives are never read, stored or shown. Complaints are published once the company responds or after 15 days, so the most recent two to three weeks are incomplete. The company name is shown as the CFPB publishes it. No size measure: the company could not be matched by name to a single institution in the FDIC, NCUA or HMDA files. Companies can respond to the CFPB about any complaint; errors in this site's processing are fixed at the next daily build. Size measures: FDIC BankFind (report date 30 Jun 2026), NCUA call reports (30 Jun 2026), HMDA transmittal sheet (2025), Census Bureau population estimates (2025). All are US government works.
