Are You Being Called By Integra Servicing, LLC*? Here’s What You Need to Know

Most of us owe money to credit cards, student loans, and other accounts. As long as we have a regular and healthy income, such debt can normally be managed. But if we lose our jobs and miss a certain number of payments your creditors will likely submit the accounts to a collection agency, some of whom can be ruthless when they want your money.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, is a consumer protection law that prohibits actions like the following when used to collect or attempt to collect a consumer debt:

• Calling at inconvenient times, such as before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
• Ignoring you when you dispute the debt and tell them not to call again
• Threatening consequences they cannot legally inflict or have no intention of carrying out
• Using profane and obscene language
• Calling you at work if they know or have reason to know what such calls are not allowed
• Discussing the debt with anyone but you, your spouse, or your attorney
