Consumer complaint volumes

Each row is a figure as published by an official body, with the period it covers. Periods differ: calendar years at the CFPB 1, half-years at the FCA 2, April to March years at the Financial Ombudsman Service 9 and July to June years at AFCA 4. Do not add or compare rows across bodies. Each counts at a different stage.

Notes

  • The Financial Ombudsman Service annual data page gives 214,600 new complaints for 2025/26, but the rows of its product table add up to 214,649. The page does not explain the difference 7. Its news release gives the same 214,600 3.
  • The FCAC report gives 236,324 reportable complaints in its text. Its product table prints a total of 236,329, and its six product rows add up to 235,861 (85,100 + 71,988 + 18,503 + 17,134 + 9,064 + 34,072). FCAC says one complaint can be assigned to more than one product, so totals may exceed the number of reportable complaints. It does not explain why the rows add up to less 14.
  • Indian figures use the lakh system, in which 1 lakh is 100,000. 13,34,244 is 13 lakh and 34,244, so 13 × 100,000 + 34,244 = 1,334,244 13.
  • AFCA figures for 2024-25 and 2025-26 were not confirmed from an AFCA page opened for this directory.
