Data Limitations

CFPB complaint data represents complaints submitted by consumers and does not include all customer experiences. A complaint does not necessarily indicate wrongdoing by the company. Companies with larger customer bases typically receive more complaints in absolute terms. The CFPB does not verify all facts alleged in complaints. Company responses are self-reported. For the most current information, visit the CFPB Consumer Complaint Database directly. (Source: CFPB)
