GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -

Service provider WebRecon determined auto financing filings still only represented a small amount of the complaints recently sent to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

WebRecon chief executive officer Jack Gordon examined the regulator’s database and found the CFPB received 3,443 complaints associated with debt collection in July.

That total amount represented a 2.1-percent decline on a sequential basis as well as 1.9 percent dip year-over-year. That figure also was associated with 825 different companies.

Furthermore, WebRecon noticed that just 2 percent of the total — only 70 cases — were connected with auto financing.

Gordon explained in a company blog post that CFPB complaints against debt collectors “are about normal, down a little from last month but with a steady trickle of new data coming out it will probably be even.”

He added that overall CFPB complaints are up “an anemic” 1.1 percent year-to-date.

Gordon’s analysis also broke down the top reasons for the complaint, including:

— Continued attempts collect debt not owed: 1,521 or 44 percent

— Disclosure verification of debt: 609 or 18 percent

— Communication tactics: 599 or 17 percent

— False statements or representation: 260 or 8 percent

— Taking/threatening an illegal action: 238 or 7 percent

— Improper contact or sharing of information: 216 or 6 percent

Finally, Gordon also shared the top 10 states where complaints originated, including:

1. California: 473

2. Florida: 334

3. Texas: 322

4. New York: 173

5. Georgia: 155

6. Illinois: 139

7. Pennsylvania: 123

8. Ohio: 115

9. New Jersey: 114

10. Virginia: 112
