On October 22, two debt consultants filed a racial discrimination lawsuit against their former employer, Greenfield Financial Services, in Sherman, Texas.

Larry Burden and Sean Bolden, both African American, were hired to work as debt consultants for Greenfield in May 2010.  The lawsuit claims that both men were successful at their jobs and frequently exceeded their sales quotas.  In addition, the men were ranked in the top ten performing debt consultants at the company.  

In September, both men were terminated from their positions and were not provided a reason why from the defendant.  The lawsuit accuses Greenfield Financial Services of racial discrimination, wrongful termination and failure to pay overtime compensation.
