Quick Answer: Radius Global Solutions is a for-profit debt collector. To evaluate whether their contact with you is legitimate and what your options are, I’d encourage you to check their complaint history with the CFPB, verify their state licensing, and understand your rights under the FDCPA. Here’s how to do each of those.
Before You Read This: I want to be upfront about what this page is and isn’t. I’m not a financial advisor, and I’m not rendering a verdict on Radius Global Solutions. This is a research guide — I’m showing you where to look so you can reach your own conclusions based on current information.

If you have inside information you feel you need to share with me privately: don’t. Whatever you want to share should be posted in the comments — by you, with your name attached. I’m not willing to be anyone’s conduit for information they won’t stand behind themselves.
The most valuable thing on this page may not be what I’ve written — it’s the comments section below. People who’ve actually dealt with Radius Global Solutions share their experiences there. I’d encourage you to read them and add your own.
Who Is Radius Global Solutions?

New here? My Ultimate Consumer Guide to Checking Out a Debt Relief Company walks through how to vet any company contacting you about debt.
Radius Global Solutions is a for-profit debt collection company. Rather than repeat what they say about themselves here, I’d encourage you to read their own website and state business filings — that way you’re seeing it directly from primary sources, not filtered through me.
Step 1: Check Their Credentials
Before engaging with any debt collector, verify they have the proper credentials. Here’s what to check:
- State Collection Licensing: Debt collectors must be licensed in most states. Check your state’s financial regulator or attorney general website to confirm Radius Global Solutions is licensed to collect debt in your state.
- RMAI Membership: The Receivables Management Association International (RMAI) certifies debt buyers and collectors to industry standards. Check whether they’re a member.
- BBB Profile: Check their Better Business Bureau profile — look beyond the rating and read the actual complaints and responses.
- Verify the Debt in Writing: Under the FDCPA, you have the right to request written verification of any debt they claim you owe. This is your first step before you pay anything.
A Note on BBB Grades: A high BBB grade doesn’t necessarily mean a company treats consumers well — it means they respond to complaints filed through the BBB. Read the actual complaint text and the company’s responses. That’s the useful part. See my full guide to what BBB letter grades actually mean →
Step 2: Check Consumer Complaints
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau maintains a public database of complaints filed against debt collectors. You can search for Radius Global Solutions directly:

When you’re reading complaints, look for:
- What the complaints are about — incorrect debt amounts, improper collection tactics, credit reporting errors?
- How the company responded — did they resolve issues or just close them?
- Whether the same issue appears repeatedly — a pattern matters more than a single complaint
- The ratio of complaints to volume — large collection agencies handle millions of accounts
Step 3: Read Their Consumer Reviews
Trustpilot does not appear to have a verified profile for Radius Global Solutions. Search for their reviews on the BBB customer reviews page and sites like Google Reviews. Keep in mind:
- Debt collection reviews often reflect the frustration of being contacted about a debt — that’s not necessarily a reflection of the company’s practices
- Look for specific complaints about FDCPA violations: harassing calls, contacting third parties, misrepresenting the debt amount
- Compare how they respond to negative reviews — accountability in responses matters
- Check whether complaints mention the same pattern of behavior repeatedly

Step 4: Check Their Legal and Enforcement History
Debt collectors are subject to enforcement actions from federal and state regulators under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and other laws. Here’s where to look:
- CFPB Enforcement Actions: Search the CFPB’s enforcement action database for the company name
- FTC Actions: The FTC publishes all enforcement cases — search for the company or its principals
- State Attorney General: Search “Radius Global Solutions attorney general” — many FDCPA enforcement actions happen at the state level
- PACER (Federal Court Records): PACER allows you to search federal court cases by party name — consumers do sometimes sue debt collectors for FDCPA violations
Context Matters: A company that has faced enforcement action isn’t automatically disqualified — what matters is what the action was for, whether they resolved it, and whether the behavior continued. FDCPA lawsuits filed by consumers are also public record and worth reviewing.
Step 5: Know Your Rights Before You Respond
Before engaging: If they’ve sent you any agreement or settlement offer, run it through my free Contract Decoder tool.
Before you respond to Radius Global Solutions, get clear answers — and know your rights:
- Request written verification of the debt before you pay or acknowledge anything
- Confirm the debt is within the statute of limitations in your state — paying or acknowledging an expired debt can restart the clock
- Understand whether the debt has already been sold and who currently owns it
- Know that you can send a cease-and-desist letter to stop collection calls — this doesn’t erase the debt but stops the calls
- If they’ve violated the FDCPA, you may have the right to sue them — consult a consumer rights attorney
- Confirm their identity: ask for their physical address, name of the original creditor, and the amount they claim is owed
Before You Commit to Paying: Run your overall debt situation through my Find Your Path tool to understand all your options — paying one collector may not be the right first move if you have multiple debts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Radius Global Solutions a legitimate company?
Radius Global Solutions is a registered for-profit debt collection company. Whether a debt they’re contacting you about is valid is a separate question — verify the debt in writing before taking any action.
How do I file a complaint against Radius Global Solutions?
You can file a complaint directly with the CFPB at consumerfinance.gov/complaint. You can also file with your state attorney general’s office and the BBB. Filing with the CFPB creates a public record and triggers a required company response.

What is debt collection and what are my rights?
Debt collection is the process by which companies attempt to recover money owed on past-due accounts. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), you have the right to request written verification of a debt, dispute a debt, and request that a collector stop contacting you. Violations of the FDCPA can give you the right to sue the collector.
Should I pay Radius Global Solutions?

Compare Your Real Options: Most debt relief companies won’t tell you about all your options — especially the ones they can’t profit from. Credit counseling has a 21-27% completion rate. Settlement resolves about 1% of enrolled debts fully. Bankruptcy has a 95% discharge rate — and protects your retirement.
