Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Subissue: Debt is not yours
Consumer Complaint: Hi LVNV FUNDING / XXXX XXXXXXXX ; Im confused and stressed and shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from a collection company that I never have dealt with before. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity. You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX for code of ethics violations.

Consumer Complaint: XX/XX/XXXX - Received an email from XXXX XXXX about a XXXX bill owed from XX/XX/XXXX, and was charged off XX/XX/XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX - I sent them a letter asking them to verify this debt, and if they could not then they would reimburse me for any money I spent through correspondence via certified mail, which they received on XX/XX/XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX - I sent them another letter because they had not responded but later realized they responded on XX/XX/XXXX, which I did not receive until XX/XX/XXXX. The verification they sent was from a XXXX bill dated XX/XX/XXXX, that stated {$0.00} for total current charges, addressed to a name that is not mine, and an address that is not mine. XX/XX/XXXX - I sent a letter of default and an affidavit because they failed to verify their claim that this was a debt that I owed. XX/XX/XXXX, & XX/XX/XXXX - I received correspondence that they claimed my response was duplicative and that if I had further questions I could write them again. XX/XX/XXXX - I sent them a cease and desist letter telling them to stop all communications with me due to their lack of claim against me. XX/XX/XXXX - I received the exact same letter as I did on XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX, except this time said if I do not answer they will send this account to active collection against me.

I am a victim of identity- theft, I am writing to request that you block all accounts disputed as fraudulent on my credit reports with XXXX , XXXX , and XXXX. This information does not relate to any transactions I have made. I did not give anyone authorization or consent to use my personal information. I hereby exercise my legal rights enacted by Congress and The Federal Trade Commission, which explicitly states when a victim of identity-theft dispute a fraudulent account on his/her credit report it shall be honored by all credit bureaus and all fraudulent information should be blocked within 4 days and proper notification shall be given to all data furnishers pursuant to section 605b of The Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Because I know my rights under THE FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT, CONSUMER CREDIT PROTECTION ACT ( CCPA ), and FAIR and ACCURATE CREDIT TRANSACTION ACT of 2003 ( FACTA ). I will be taking action. I also know my rights under this paragraph of Section 312 of the FACTA LAW : SEC.312. Procedures to enhance the accuracy and integrity of information furnished to consumer reporting agencies. ( b ) duty of furnishers to provide accurate information. -- Section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) of THE FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) is amended ( 1 ) in subparagraph ( A ), by striking " knows or consciously avoids knowing the information is inaccurate '' and inserting " knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate '', and ( 2 ) by adding at the end of the following : ( D ) DEFINITION -- For purposes of subparagraph ( A ), the term 'reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate ' means having specific knowledge, other than solely allegations by the consumer, that would cause a reasonable person to have substantial doubts about the accuracy of information.

Therefore, my position is being clearly stated, these accounts do not belong to me, meaning that you are reporting inaccurate account information within my credit file. The fact that these are inaccurate account information means that you, this credit-reporting agency, are reporting incorrect accounts. 1. LVNV FUNDING LLC bal. {$780.00} I am well aware of my rights as a consumer. The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires that you, the credit-reporting agency report accurate and/or correct account information within my credit file. My credit issues are very specific, these accounts and/or items do not belong to me. This means that you are reporting incorrect account information within my credit report. It is this in mind that I request that these listed accounts and items be Blocked and Deleted. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act FCRA, Section 1681c ( 2 ) Block of information resulting from identity theft. 1.Block.

Consumer Complaint: Lvnv Funding, LLC ( Also been reported to XXXX by consumers ) has threaten & reported inaccurate balance due on two closed accounts that I had with XXXX & XXXX creditors issued by XXXX. Both accounts after contacting creditors in order to settle on the accounts due to payments & fees ( as well as errors ) prior to requesting payment arrangements because of foreseen financial setbacks as well as personal obligations that needed my attention. After contacting XXXX ( already enrolled w/account protection ) had came to agreement to process the settlement on account & payments to start once they contact me back to set future dates for payments, but instead XXXX close my account. The same for XXXX after reaching out to discuss payments to get good standing after attempting to return items brought on XXXX website. After accounts had been closed for months. I had started getting repeated calls & notices from Lvnv Funding which unknowing had reported to all three credit bureaus making false claims with non-accurate & non-documented information in order tactfully & deceitful claim monies. I feel this seriously violates of my consumer rights and Lvnv Funding deceptive practices to extort money from consumers like myself.
