LexisNexis Risk Solutions — the data, and your rights when its report costs you

What disputes can't do — and we won't help with

Disputes fix errors. They don't erase history that's true — accurate records survive investigation. If the record is real, what helps is settling and documenting it, second-chance programs, and time. We built this site for honest people hit by wrong records.

Counts are complaint rows in the federal CFPB Consumer Complaint Database whose text mentions the company (case-insensitive scan of 27.8 million rows, 2026-08-10). Text mentions, not official per-company tallies — treat them as a relative signal of where consumers report problems. Source: files.consumerfinance.gov bulk data.
