  1. Why Chat The letter o the page to the cra's was the one i sent and just got the results back from also the letter to the oc was sent at the same time.
  2. I have used the backdoor method numerous times throughout the years it now giving me a message to send my request by mail...the collection account is reporting as paid closed and the money order was cashed 10/24/2015
  3. What was the date of the invoice you received from the CA?? Was your money order deposited?? Check the "back door" of both Ex and Eq to verify the status and see if the account is marked as "disputed by consumer" Sorry for the delay in response. Could not check equifax back door every time i tried is asked me to mail my request so i waited to get the results. As of right now experian is reporting it and the comment shows that its disputed by consumer. The results from equifax is that it was verified and the comment is consumer dispute this account information. The invoice sent to me by the ca is dated 1/11/10214 the original service date was 101/22/2013 money order was cashed on 10/24/2015.

Complaint Data Problem Please provide a BRIEF, FACTUAL DESCRIPTION of the problem you experienced. If you are notifying the BBB of an advertising claim that you believe is inaccurate or misleading, include the date and location of the advertisement. 1. Primary Classification: Billing or Collection Issues 2. Secondary Classification: Billing or Collection Issues 3. Problem: LVNV(RESUGENT) has repeatedly and knowingly reported false info on my credit reports. They list the account as an OPEN acct, with a past due amount, they change the amount due, they state they are a factoring company and the account is a factoring company account. I NEVER opened any line of credit or anything with LVNV(RESURGENT). I have NEVER signed any contract with them. They marked my account in dispute on my credit report, have never responded to my validation request, then updated my acct while in dispute as well as never sending me anything in writing. They have never properly investigated my disputes and have continued to report false information causing my credit scores to go down tremendously. I want this tradeline removed from all 3 of my credit reports along with a letter stating LVNV(RESURGENT) promises not to sell this account to anyone or try to collect on this invalidated account again. LVNV(RESURGENT) buys alleged debt AFTER it has been charged off, but tries to appear that they buy the debt BEFORE it is charged off. If they continue to break the FDCPA laws and the FCRA, I will have no choice but to hire a lawyer and sue. I will file a complaint with the FTC as well as I believe that LVNV(RESURGENT) needs to be thoroughly investigated for their illegal practices. If LVNV(RESURGENT) decides to sell this account or transfer it to another one of their companies, I will sue for defamation, violations of FDCPA and FCRA, and anything my lawyer sees fit. I have never received anything from LVNV(RESURGENT) via mail or from their other companies. This is yet another violation of the FDCPA. Please remove this account from my credit reports and agree not to sell it. Complaint Background Not all of these questions are required. Please provide as much information as you have. 1.

Bentley 408 N. Church St. Suite C Greenville, SC 29601-2164 RE: Chris; File No. ***** Dear Ms. Bentley: This letter is in response to your correspondence dated November 24, 2009 regarding the referenced consumer. LVNV Funding, LLC (“LVNVâ€) owns two accounts for Mr. Chris. Resurgent Capital Services L.P. (“Resurgentâ€) is the master servicer of accounts owned by LVNV. These accounts were purchased from the previous creditors and all rights to collect were transferred at that time. Additional account information has been outlined below for your review: Account No. xxxxx***** Reference No. ****** Previous Creditor: Sterling’s 1. Sterling Jewelers, Inc. (“Sterling’sâ€) advised that this account originated on January 5, 2005 and was opened with Kay Jewelers (“Kay’sâ€). 2. This account charged off on October 27, 2008 with a balance of $696.14. 3. This account was purchased from Sterling’s on November 17, 2008 with a balance of $696.14. 4. The last payment in the amount of $60.00 was received by Sterling on March 26, 2008. 5. Resurgent has received no payments since the purchase in November 2008. 6. The current balance of this account is $745.80. 7. This account is being reported to the three major consumer reporting agencies as disputed. 8. Verification of debt with validation was mailed to Mr. XXXXXXXXX on 11/19/2009 in compliance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (“FDCPAâ€). Account No. xxxxxxxxxxxx***** Reference No. ******** Previous Creditor: GE 1. GE Capital (“GEâ€) advised that this account originated on May 23, 2006 and was opened with JC Penney Consumer (“JCPâ€). 2. This account charged off on January 4, 2009 with a balance of $311.27. 3. This account was purchased from GE on January 29, 2009 with a balance of $552.43. 4. Resurgent has received no payments since the purchase in January 2009. 5. The current balance of this account is $642.95. 6. This account is being reported to the three major consumer reporting agencies as disputed. 7. Verification of debt with validation was mailed to Mr. XXXXXXX on July 20, 2009 and again on November 19, 2009 in compliance with the FDCPA. It appears there is a misunderstanding as to our obligations under the FDCPA to validate a debt. The FDCPA provides that if a consumer disputes a debt, he/she has the right to request validation of the debt within thirty days of his receipt of the first collection letter. Specifically, it states: If the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period described in subjection (a) of this section that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, or that the consumer requests the name and address of the original creditor, the debt collector shall cease collection of the debt, or any disputed portion thereof, until the debt collector obtains verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment, or the name and address of the original creditor, and a copy of such verification or judgment, or name and address of the original creditor, is mailed to the consumer by the debt collector. 15 U.S.C. § 1692g(. The FDCPA does not define the term “validation,†but the term has been interpreted by the Federal Trade Commission (“FTCâ€) and the courts. The FTC stated that validation “is intended to assist the consumer when a debt collector inadvertently contacts the wrong consumer at the start of his collection efforts.†FTC Staff Commentary on the FDCPA, 53 Fed. Reg. 50097, 50108-09 (Dec. 13, 1998). The courts have adopted a similar interpretation, stating: [V]erification of a debt involves nothing more than the debt collector confirming in writing that the amount being demanded is what the creditor is claiming is owed; the debt collector is not required to keep detailed files of the alleged debt. See Azar v. Hayter, 874 F. Supp. 1314 (N.D. Fla. 1995), aff’d, 66 F.3d 342 (11th Cir. 1995), cert. denied, 516 U.S. 1048 (1996). Consistent with the legislative history, verification is only intended to “eliminate the… problem of debt collectors dunning the wrong person or attempting to collect debts which the consumer has already paid.†S. Rep. No. 95-384 at 4 (1977), reprinted in 1977 U.S.C.C.A.N. 1695, 1699. There is no concomitant obligation to forward copies of bills or other detailed evidence of the debt. Chaudhry v. Gallerizzo, 174 F. 3d 394, 406 (4th Cir. 1999), cert. denied, 528 U.S. 891 (1999). Verification of a debt requires more than simply resending the same collection letter that prompted the consumer to dispute the debt. The debt collector should verify that the amount demanded is what the creditor claims is owed. We have contacted the previous creditors and verified that the amounts demanded on these accounts are the amounts that the creditors claim is owed. If Mr. XXXX believes these accounts are fraudulent, we will need a copy of a complete police/incident report regarding the fraud, or a notarized fraud or identity theft affidavit (blank forms are available at the FTC’s website: www.ftc.gov/idtheft). If these accounts were paid in full, we will need a copy of the settlement offer, cancelled check(s), and/or confirmation of payment in full. In addition, if Mr. XXXXX has any correspondence to/from GE, JCP, Sterling‘s or Kay’s concerning this dispute, it should be forwarded to: Compliance Department or Fax: 866-467-0918 P.O. Box 10497 Greenville, SC 29603 Pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRAâ€) guidelines, an agency that receives information that changes the existing status of an account currently on the credit report must report such changes to the credit reporting agencies. The FCRA requires that accurate and complete information be provided to consumer reporting agencies. Failure to report updated information will cause an inaccurate reflection of the status of existing reported accounts, which violates the FCRA. Based on the previous information, the tradelines will not be deleted; however, they are being reported as disputed to the three major consumer reporting agencies. The term “open†does not literally mean that the account is open. This is a common area of confusion for our customers. In accordance with the Metro 2 credit reporting guidelines, created by the Consumer Data Industry Association, factoring companies are required to report accounts with a designation of “open†in the portfolio type field. This means that the entire balance is due at one time. This is the nature of a charged off account. The entire balance is past due; therefore, the entire balance is due at any given time. Per the Consumer Data Industry Association (“CDIAâ€) Metro 2 manual, factoring company is defined as “a company or individual who purchases accounts with the intent of collecting debts owed.†Therefore, the term is accurate in this situation. If we do not receive additional information from you within 45 days of the date this letter is received, then we will assume this dispute is resolved. If you have any further questions, comments or concerns, please contact Customer Service at 888-665-0374. Sincerely, Compliance Department Resurgent Capital Services L.P. I do not accept the response made by the business to resolve this complaint Sent Via: Email (ODR) From: Mr. CHRIS From Email: Mr. CHRIS To: Better Business Bureau of Upstate South Carolina Subject: I do not accept the response made by the business to resolve this complaint Date Sent: 11/24/2009 2:34:16 PM Attachments: Click here for printer friendly version Better Business Bureau: I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID *******, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below. [To assist us in bringing this matter to a close, we would like to know your view on the matter.] LVNV(RESURGENT) has not sent me any paperwork when they "bought" these accounts i had no knowledge of them till i checked my credit report recently. They admit to "BUYING" the debt which makes them a junk debt buyer/collection agency but they are listing the accounts as if they are creditors. On November 10th i mailed them a letter asking for validation and they failed to do so. i asked for a signed written agreement and they did not produce it. They sent me back a piece of paper that says the following. "As of the date of this communication. you owe $745.13 on account number ********* which is now owned by LVNV Funding LLC. Should you desire to pay off the account in full you should contact us at 1 888 665 0374 to determine the payoff balance as interest, payments, credits, fees, and/or other permissible charges can continue to cause your account balance to vary from day to day." "As of the date of this communication. you owe $$641.43 on account number *********** which is now owned by LVNV Funding LLC. Should you desire to pay off the account in full you should contact us at 1 888 665 0374 to determine the payoff balance as interest, payments, credits, fees, and/or other permissible charges can continue to cause your account balance to vary from day to day." Those letters are not validation and if i don't receive proper validation (a written agreement with my signature) withing thirty days all collection activity must cease and desist including reporting to the CRA's if they continue to collect and try to force me to do business with them i will consider it attempted extortion and act accordingly.
