Consumer Complaint: In XXXX of XXXX I enrolled with XXXX XXXX XXXX to assist with my credit card payments. I thought this was going to be better than filing bankruptcy. In XXXX or XXXX of XXXX XXXX XXXX agreed to settle my account for XXXX. XXXX XXXX has been making monthly payments to XXXX XXXX in my behalf since then. I checked my credit report XX/XX/XXXX, and found a company LVNV Funding was reporting me for collections in the amount of {$3000.00}. I called LVNV ( Resurgence Capital ) and they explained they purchased my credit card account from XXXX XXXX and that I would need to start paying them because they were the account holder now. I explained to them I settled my account with XXXX XXXX and wanted this removed from my credit report. The agent told me they could not remove it because I now owe the balance of XXXX to LVNV, and its now in collections. I asked why would I pay 2 separate companies for one credit card, and told them I was not paying them anything, and I want it removed from credit report. The agent told me that she will send me some paperwork showing the balance I owe and my account information. I contacted XXXX XXXX and was told an agent was going to review and get back to me on Monday XX/XX/XXXX. I don't know who LVNV Funding is. I never had a credit card with them. I also don't know how, or why, I would owe them any money on a settled account. I also don't know where all of these so called charges are stemming from on a closed account. Please assist with letting me know what my options are. I am attaching screen prints of my settlement info with XXXX XXXX and my credit report.
