Integral Recovery Services

First of all, they now have 5 days to send you a "dunning letter". Secondly, send them a DV letter by certified mail, you can find one on this site.

They appear to be a good collector - only 2 people have ever sued them for FDCPA violations, and they were both over a year ago.

There is no BBB listing for them at all, which means not even 1 complaint was ever filed.

They sound like a proper collector. You should be okay.

Is this is the same firm out of Houston that is also associated with Lawal Law Firm?

Is this the same company that works with Lawal Law in Houston? They have threatened and bullied me and STILL have not sent proper debt validation. A Mr. Portis calls....Mr. Milano has been fired....never the same story twice....only the threats if you don't "go on ahead and pay this."

Yes this the same company out of Houston. Are they really a law firm or not? How can they make clams that they will charge me three times the amount I took out. I don't think I have gotten any thing from them in the mail

I never got anything in the mail either. They are quick to threaten you though. I don't know what to do anymore. I have just ignored their calls now that I recognize the phone numbers. That's probably not good, but until they answer the debt validation, I'm not answering anything!

Well then, you need to file a proper complaint.

Lawal: No, that is First Integral Recovery, and they have only been sued 5 times. They have only 11 BBB complaints but have an F rating because they apparently like to ignore the complaints in open defiance. And why not if no one will take them to task?

I dealt with them about a year ago and from what I got out it. Ist Integral claimed they bought my debt from MTE and they send it to the so called law firm in Houston; Lawal and associates. It's a bunch of bull and when I filed a complaint with the BBB they responded with a letter that looked like it was written by a 2nd grader and had several spelling mistakes. The last call I had with them I told them I was forwarding my complaints to my attorney and they haven't botherd me since.

BBB now has 75 complaints of the last 36 months. They have given them an F rating. Primarily due to there unwillingness to respond.

Mr. Davis is the best, he contacted me at work yesterday misrepresenting himself as a lawyer relaying my personal information to our receptionist and then he told her he was sending a sheriff to arrest me. When I contacted him today to ask for his mailing address so my attorney could send him a letter, he hung up on me. I called him back 3x and he told me I was harrassing him and then asked me who I be. I responded by repeating his question who I be and asked him how it felt to be harrassed? I did file a complaint with the FTC today.
