Subissue: Debt was paid
Consumer Complaint: LVNV Funding LLC attempted to sue me for a debt originating from XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. I called to pay the debt to prevent a judgement on my record. I was told I had to now contact the Law office the contracted to handle the lawsuit. I called XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX to pay the debt. I was offered a settlement in full of {$500.00}. I accepted only after I asked if they were permitted to offer settlements on behalf of LVNV and they said yes. They also stated that this debt would be cleared and could not be sold or collected on after this payment and would be dismissed in court. There calls are recorded therefore proof of this conversation can be obtained. I paid the debt right thenXX/XX/XXXX via check by phone ( see attached cleared check ). I received a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX stating this debt was settled in full ( see attached letter ) onXX/XX/XXXX. I have waited for my reports to update and now LVNV is reporting that I still owe this debt in the amount of {$270.00} the difference of the settled in full offer I paid. They are reporting this amount to XXXX and XXXX and are still reporting the full amount owed of {$770.00} to XXXX. I have tried contacting them with no avail. This debt was paid and to be removed according to they law office they contracted to sue me. I will still have to appear in court onXX/XX/XXXX to make sure they actually dismiss this case, because now I believe they will still try to obtain a judgement due to their wrong collection processes.

Consumer Complaint: On approximately XX/XX/XXXX, I noticed a garnishment on my paycheck. I received a copy of the judgement from my Human Resources Director. I was not served at anytime, or afforded the opportunity to dispute this debt in court, and this company was given a default judgement. The last known address that they indicate was from more than 4-years ago, l. I legally changed my address with both the US Postal Service and NYS Department of Motor Vehicles on or about XX/XX/2014 ; which if this company had researched, they could have located my current address, rather than using " Sewer Service '', which is illegal in NYS Additionally ; This Jusgement was filed in a county that I do not live in and is in no way associated with me. THIS COMPANY HAS NEVER ATTEMPTED TO SERVE ME OR CONTACT ME IN ANY WAY PRIOR TO FILING FOR THIS JUDGEMENT. I plan on pursuing an order to vacate this judgement as well

Subissue: Debt is not yours
Consumer Complaint: While reviewing my credit report I noticed a credit card in bad standing that I was unaware of. Upon contacting the original credit company they stated that the debt was sold to LVNV Funding. I have disputed this debt multiple times and have not come to a resolution. When contacting the credit collection agency I have requested statements and other documentation that they were unable to provide. I was directed back to the credit card company who would also not supply information stating that the collection agency now has all information. The debt collection company and the credit card company both are unable and unwilling to provide me any information about the debt but will also not remove the account from my credit report.
