Disclaimer: Complaint counts reflect consumer-reported issues submitted to the CFPB and do not indicate wrongdoing by any servicer. Larger servicers with more customers naturally receive more complaints. Timely response rates, dispute rates, and enforcement actions provide additional context for evaluating servicer performance. This data is provided for informational purposes only and should not be construed as legal advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does this mortgage servicer complaint data come from?

All complaint data comes from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Consumer Complaint Database, a public dataset of consumer-submitted complaints. We analyze the mortgage product category, covering 460,397 complaints from 2012 to present.

Does a high complaint count mean a servicer is bad?

Not necessarily. Larger servicers handle more loans and naturally receive more complaints. The timely response rate, dispute rate, and enforcement actions provide better signals of servicer quality. A servicer with 50,000 complaints and a 99.8% timely response rate may be performing better than one with 3,000 complaints and a 97% rate.

What is the timely response rate?

Companies generally respond to CFPB complaints within 15 days; in some cases the company says its response is in progress and gives a final response within 60 days. The timely response rate measures the percentage of complaints where the servicer met this deadline. 59.5% of tracked servicers maintain rates at or above 99%.

What are CFPB enforcement actions?

When the CFPB finds that a company has violated consumer financial protection laws, it can take enforcement actions including consent orders, lawsuits, and civil penalties. The 20 tracked mortgage-servicing actions contain $3.32 billion in recorded penalties and $4.68 billion in recorded consumer relief.

How can I file a complaint against my mortgage servicer?

You can file a complaint directly with the CFPB at consumerfinance.gov/complaint. Select 'Mortgage' as the product type and describe your issue. The CFPB forwards your complaint to the servicer, which generally responds within 15 days. You can also send a Qualified Written Request (QWR) under RESPA § 6 for a formal written response.
