The company posts a 99% timely-response rate against a 0% consumer-dispute-after-response rate, a pairing that calibrates how well its complaint-resolution workflow holds up once a consumer pushes back.
Complaints have been recorded across 12 states, led by Michigan with 69 and Illinois with 3, which matches a multi-state collection footprint rather than a regional operation.
