What the CFPB Record Shows About being given the run around

being given the run around has accumulated 1 consumer complaint in the CFPB public database, with filings active across 1 U.S. state. Of those submissions, 1 includes a consumer narrative — the verbatim description of the reported problem that the CFPB collects alongside each filing. The earliest complaint on file dates back to Ever, and the most recent logged activity is Every time, giving this record a multi-year window of observable consumer sentiment.

Looking at response behavior, being given the run around reports a 0% timely-response rate and has closed 0% of cases with a written explanation to the consumer. 0% of complaints were closed with monetary or non-monetary relief — an outcome signal that tracks how often consumers walked away with some form of remediation. A further 0% of responses were formally disputed by the consumer after the company replied, a useful marker of resolution quality independent of sheer volume. The most-reported product category for this record is "I applied online on XX/XX/XXXX and was approved with minutes I received my card 7 days later on XX/XX/XXXX. I went to activate my card and it said that I needed to call Capital One in order to activate my credit card", and the single most common underlying issue is "which I did for social security card".

Complaint volume is heavily influenced by company size, customer base, and market footprint — larger financial institutions routinely carry more filings purely because they serve more consumers. A complaint is a consumer-reported allegation, not proven wrongdoing, and a timely or relief-flagged closure does not by itself confirm fault.
