Although you might be stressed out, it is important not to panic. You are taking the first step now to educate yourself which is great. The most important thing you need to know is that you should not ignore the problem. Most often, those who are being sued for debt try to ignore the lawsuit. This leads to a default judgment, which means that Integras Capital will win automatically. Learning what you need to do next will help to prevent this.

Use SoloSuit to avoid a default judgment.

What Happens When You Fight the Debt Collection Lawsuit

Your Case Can Result in Dismissal

Integras may decide to dismiss the lawsuit. Whether it has become too expensive to collect a debt or the creditor does not believe you will get a default judgment, then they may not want to pursue the lawsuit at all.

Dismissal may also happen because Integras does not have a solid case. If a creditor cannot prove that you owe them the money they are suing you for, or you request a chain of title, they may decide to drop it altogether.

You May Get the Chance for a Settlement

You may be given the opportunity to settle the lawsuit. This will occur if you push for a settlement or if you attempt to countersue. Typically, the settlement will be significantly less than the amount listed in the lawsuit.

Do This to Win Against Integras Capital

Respond to the Lawsuit to Win

Whether it is a simple debt claim or a debt lawsuit, the number one mistake borrowers make is ignoring it. When you are being sued for a debt you will always be given notice with a date by which you must respond to. This typically arrives in the form of a summons and complaint.

If you do not respond, then a default judgment will automatically be placed against you. This leads to wage garnishment or the ability to take money from your bank account.

Use SoloSuit to protect your assets by responding to debt collection lawsuits.

File Your Answer

The next steps involve asking for a stamped copy of your Answer to the debt. This should be stamped by the Clerk of Court. Next, you should send the stamped copy through certified mail to the lawyer of Integras Capital. If you miss the deadline to file your answer, you may not be able to dispute the debt from that point on.

Challenge the Debt Collector's Right to Sue

One way to respond to a debt lawsuit is to simply challenge the Integras' right to sue you at all. Because Integras purchased the debt from an original creditor (or even someone else), they may not have proof of the original debt.

If Integras is pursuing a debt against you, then is pursuing a lawsuit against you is legally required to show proof that they have a right to do so. By asking for documentation, Integras must provide:

  1. Original credit agreement signed by you
  2. Documentation of the chain of custody. This includes all paperwork and proof that the paperwork is accurate and came from the original creditor.

If Integras cannot provide this documentation, then a judge may dismiss your debt lawsuit altogether.

Respond to debt collectors with SoloSuit and get your case dismissed.

Remember That the Debt Collector Has the Burden of Proof

After being served with a debt lawsuit, the lawsuit will easily be pursued against you. Despite this, the burden of proof rests on the collector who is suing you. The burden of proof means that Integras needs to prove the following:

  • That you are responsible for the debt
  • That you owe a specific amount of money
  • That they have the right to sue you at all

Asking for proof is one way to defend yourself against a debt collection lawsuit against Integras.

Don't Make Any Payments Before You Know the Statute of Limitations

The statutes of limitations govern how long Integras or another creditor can bring you to court for a debt lawsuit. Although the rules vary based on the state you live in, it typically ranges between four to six years. It is important to note that the day the statute of limitations starts is the last day you were active on an account. This might include making a payment or drawing funds from your account. This means that it is essential to avoid making payments on a debt that you plan to fight. Otherwise, you may start the statute of limitations over again and lose your defense.

Use SoloSuit to make the right affirmative defenses the right way.

File a Countersuit When Debt Collectors Violate the FDCPA

If Integras has overstepped Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) regulations, then you may be able to file a countersuit.

Common violations of the FDCPA include:

  • Continued attempts to collect a debt that you do not owe
  • Using harassment
  • Threatening harm or jail
  • Disclosing your debt to someone other than your spouse
  • False statements or false representation
  • Not disclosing they are a debt collector
  • Improper contact
  • Excessive phone calls
  • Calling after hours or at inconvenient times

Debt collectors that violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act may not only need to pay your legal fees but will typically completely drop the lawsuit altogether. If you believe Integras has engaged in violations, you may be able to seek compensation for any related damages.

File a Petition of Bankruptcy to Stop Debt Collection Efforts

If you owe a debt and cannot pay it, filing bankruptcy is not always a necessary option. But if you are also suffering from other financial distress, then bankruptcy might be the right option. Filing a petition of bankruptcy essentially stops all debt collection activity until the bankruptcy is handled. It is important not to take bankruptcy lightly because it will have major ramifications on your credit. It should only be used as a last resort.

Take the Next Step to Beat Integras Capital Recovery LLC in Court
