How many complaints did the CFPB receive in each of the last 24 closed months?
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.
the complaint process does not verify the allegations in each consumer’s complaint narrative, nor can it, as a practical matter.
The CFPB complaint process does not verify the allegations in each consumer’s complaint narrative. This site shows no complaint narrative. A complaint is a consumer’s account of a problem. It is not a finding against the company.

How were the figures made?
A month is closed 15 days after its last day. The table leaves out the open month, because its count can still increase.
A change is shown only when the same month one year before has 1,000 complaints or more.
A program makes this page from the CFPB file with fixed sentence rules. The counts run through 2 Nov 2026. How the counts are made. Sources.
