This company LVNV said that their a law firm Regent & Associates out of Houston and I've never heard of LVNV until I pulled my credit report and they sent me a letter stating that I owe 12,000 dollars. They said that Wells Fargo filed the claim. I've never dealt with Wells Fargo ever. They said that they've got my name and social on it and it was from something Ipurchased in Houston in 2003. I lived in Houson in at eh end of 2001 so my ex- may have used my social and name to purchase smoething but i pain to dispute it til the end. I told them that it's idenity theft.

It's been over two months since I found out that they where suiting me and I still have not been served. I guess I'll just wait, maybe they realized the SOL and went away. Mickey

Mickey- have you checked with the court house and made sure they didn't have a court date that you were unaware of? Don't trust these people! You don't want them to say they served you and got a court date without your knowlwdge..Karen I may be wrong- hope I am- but it seems like if they filed around the first of August, you would have been served by now. Maybe someone with more knowledge on this will come along and help!! Let us know what happens..KAren _________________ As long as you are alive, there's always hope

I have same thing on my report, collection entry that I did not get it until last week. It's there all of a sudden within last month. I talk to one of thier rep, and she wanted me to fax a copy of credit report and the page where the entry is located issuring me to resolve issue within 72 hrs. Let's see what happens next...

This is a company that purchases the debt owed to other companies -and then they try to collect on it. This company pays the business owed money by you at a percentage of the debt owed -and then go after you for the full amount. It is basically a collection agency but instead of earning a percent of the money they collect for a business, they purchase the debt outright and then just keep all they are able to collect. _________________ Register today to encash debtcc points.

Just don't believe anything they say!! And most of all, never give them your personal info- such as bank account info, etc. If they do validate, it will only be a partial validation..Good Luck..KAren _________________ As long as you are alive, there's always hope

This same company showed up on my husband's credit report (and mine too since it's a joint report) and after MANY MANY telephone calls, letters, etc., it finally came out that they purchaed a "debt" from Bank of America. The balance due came from an annual fee and finance charges on the account - an account he did not request. Of course this was 4 years ago and we're now trying to resolve the whole mess. VERY frustrating, but finding that nugget of info was very rewarding - persistance pays off.

Hello, I want to see if I understand the original creditor timeline. I had an old debt with Sears before Citibank bought Sears credit card out in 2003. Then LVNV bought the debt from Citibank in 2005. Does this mean that the timeline for orginal creditor debt validation would go: LVNV Funding, then Citibank, and then Sears? Technically is Citibank considered the original creditor or is Sears considered the original creditor?

I recently had an experience where a server attempted to serve papers by leaving a note on my door. I thought it was rather whacky. A week later the server leaves another note saying he has court legal documents for such and such to serve. OK. I then called the such and such to see if there were indeed suing me in small claims. The answer was no. Upon further investigatin I leared who had filed a suit against me. I could not understand why this server wasn't being honest about serving papers for LVNV Funding? What's up with the dishonesty. Anywone else have an experience like this one?

Patti- the original creditor was Sears. They sell them to junk debt buyers, and if they cannot collect,they pass it along to their many dbas. When did this account go into deliquency? When was the last payment? I have never heard of someone lying to serve a summons, sure they do it though. I had one guy throw the summons on the porch while we were gone-found it the next day, in the mud! Whatever you do, answer the summons in the time given, and show up in court,or they will get a default judgement. Have you sent LVNV a Debt Validation letter? They won't fully validate, but may gain you some time to get prepared. If you have any questions, please ask.KAren _________________ As long as you are alive, there's always hope
