Most of us have credit cards, mortgage payments, hospital bills, and other types of debt we need to pay off each month. As long as our income is steady, we can usually stay on top of things. But if we lose our jobs or our hours get cut back substantially, even keeping up the minimum payments can become impossible. Once a certain amount are missed, debt collectors will start calling.

Anthonette Taylor vs. Integrity Financial Partners, Inc.*

According to PACER, Integrity Financial Partners, Inc. called Colorado resident Anthonette Taylor on May 15, 2012 to discuss a debt it had been assigned to collect. Ms. Taylor later claimed that the collector warned her that the debt would stay on the credit bureau reports until it was paid and that paying it was the only way to remove it.

She had previously set up payments to come out of her bank account automatically, but now advised that she could not afford to make the payments and that she was canceling the arrangement. Nonetheless, Integrity Financial Partners, Inc. allegedly took $80 from her account without her permission to cover another debt payment.

Feeling harassed by Integrity Financial Partners, Inc., Ms. Taylor hired a consumer attorney and sued the company for allegedly violating the FDCPA in the following ways:

• Using false, deceptive, and misleading means to collect a debt
• Using unfair or unconscionable means to collect a debt

The matter was later settled.
