Yes. Meridian Financial Services holds an active Debt Collection Agency license with the New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (license 1091728-DCA), last checked September 29, 2026. New York City requires this license of any business whose principal purpose is collecting personal or household debts from NYC residents, wherever the business itself is based.

What types of debt does Meridian Financial Services specialize in collecting?

This directory records Meridian Financial Services in one category that covers two kinds of work, timeshare and homeowners association collections, and does not record which of them it specializes in. A specialty is the company's own published claim; this directory verifies the public register facts, not the claim.

Does Meridian Financial Services have complaints on record?

The public CFPB Consumer Complaint Database records 520 debt-collection complaints referencing Meridian Financial Services, as of September 30, 2026. This counts debt-collection complaints only, all years, not every complaint the Bureau holds about the company; the profile links the same search on the live CFPB database; a complaint is a record, not a verdict, and the CFPB says its database is not a statistical sample of consumers’ experiences.

This profile presents factual information drawn from public records, the company's own website and, where a row names one, a business directory, each linked to its source where one is on record, with a last-checked date wherever a check has run. It is not a recommendation to do business with this company, is not legal advice, and is no substitute for your own due diligence.
