Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Subissue: Debt is not yours
Consumer Complaint: I started receiving emails from a representative from Resurgent, informing me that I owe {$1100.00} to LVNV Funding LLC and to contact them to pay the amount owed. I checked my credit reports to see what exactly this is for, and I see its 's a charge off for an account I never opened, and they have reported this collection on all bureaus and didn't provide their contact information on the collection account. I googled their information and started sending them letters requesting validation of debt bearing my signature and evidence that I owe them. I have sent the collection company LVNV Funding LLC XXXX letters requesting them to provide me with proof to validate the debt bearing my signature on : XX/XX/2021, XX/XX/2021 and XX/XX/2021. They have not responded to any of my request, but had their account XXXX : Resurgent Capital Services responded to my first and second request on XX/XX/2021 and XX/XX/2021 by sending me a bill and an Account summary report that they generated as proof. I responded to both LVNV and Resurgent on XX/XX/2021 letting them know that per FTC opinion letter from Attorney XXXX XXXX XXXX, a printout of a bill or itemized document does not constitute validation, and to provide me with proof to validate the debt bearing my signature. They have not responded to my last request dated XX/XX/2021, they received the letter certified mail and signed for the letters on : XX/XX/2021 at XXXX. By not replying in a timely manner to my initial letter, they have not only violated federal law, but have also failed to provide me with a copy of any viable evidence, bearing my signature, showing the account is being reported accurately. My request is since LVNV Funding has now violated federal law, by not properly investigating within the required timeframe, and I have evidence of such, via certified mail receipts, they must now remove the item from all credit bureaus!

Subissue: Sued you without properly notifying you of lawsuit
Consumer Complaint: This company refuses to provide proof that any of the XXXX debts they claim they purchased are legitimate. I have had XXXX different process servers show up at my doorstep as a result of this company on over XXXX XXXX occasions with my personal financial information and potentially reputational damaging information exposed to all XXXX process servers. They have to follow privacy laws like every other company with regards to information like that. My information was not protected and illegally purchased. I receive a notice indicating that I had been sued when I hadn't even received a summons. It had been delivered to a neighbor. I have tried disputing all XXXX items with the credit reporting agencies without success and even with documents, videos and photos won't allow me to upload the evidence. Customer service with XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX are practically non-existent and useless. This company grossly violates privacy rights and debt collecting practices yet they're still allowed to do business. Note how each person is holding the summons in the open, not in an envelope. I learned what they were from a business card that was left by the process server. Again, none of it was obscured from the 3 party and was actually given to a neighbor without an envelope.
