With Sprint/Nextel and H&R Block, both heavyweights in their industries with customers numbering in the tens of millions, headquartered in the Kansas City area, the top two come as little surprise. Both decreased considerably from last year's complaints.
Collection agencies saw a sharp increase, more than two-and-a-half times last year's amount. To be fair, more than 30 of those complaints were against Regent Asset Management, a collection agency with obscure credentials and shady tactics.
Auto Dealerships consistently appear on the top ten complaints and this year was no different. The other types of business rotate in and out. Below, you can compare to last year's complaints by category.
