How to read complaint data responsibly

The CFPB categorizes each complaint based on the consumer's own description of the problem, so the label "Advertising" reflects consumer perception, not a regulatory finding. A complaint is an allegation, not proven wrongdoing, and the presence of a filing against a company does not mean that company violated any law or rule. Use this page to understand the shape of consumer concerns around "Advertising", then cross-check individual companies using their own CFPB profiles and the official CFPB database. For legal, financial, or regulatory advice, consult a licensed professional, this page is informational only.
