LVNV
I am the process of buying a house and LVNV showed up on it and I called them and was told they cannot give me any account number or when it was opened and that I owe 2000+ dollars. Then the lady told me that they research for an attorney and he now have the debt, and I said YOU LVNV are on my report and you cannot give me any information she was rude and gave me the number to the attorney, when I called them I was automated to the accounting department that says someone would call back...never did. Called again same thing. I am now sending a letter to this effect to LVNV since they are the ones on the report...or should I send it to the lawyers office that I was given since they never call and LVNV cannot give me any information

Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g, Section 809(b): Validating Debts
[img]/forums/attachments//bsm2_924.jpg[/img] When they call - or call again - get the mailing address & send them a letter stating not to contact you in any other format then writing via USPS. As soon as you receive the info (if you ever do), respond & keep track of time frames. They'll violate fdcpa many times over & you'll have a journal to outline your interactions with them. Do like subiGirl and find a consumer lawyer who will take your case & go after LVNV. Perhaps if they start having to shell out $1k to a large number of peeps they'll tow the line.

Linda what are you asking. We are a forum to help people get out of debt. This forum does not put anything on a credit report. Who does it show on the credit report? Maybe we can help you get the correct contact information.

CLAM1582, I wouldn't try to arrange a settlement with them. They bought some alleged "debt" for pennies on the dollar and are trying to shake you down. Instead, send a letter requesting proof of any contractual obligation you might have to them, and how the arrived at the sum they say you owe.

Sent letter for proof of obligation
I sent a letter consisting of a Cease and Desist, debt validation, Letter of Intent, and Letter to Collections CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUEST on July 2nd. I had done this at the same time with another company as well. I received a validation back within the 30 days from the other but not LVNV Funding. What do i do now? I have all the copies and receipts. Just need an anwere because i really do not want to hire a professional to fix this when i can do it myself.

Helikewl...LVNV is known for not validating. Send them a second validation request, and check up on your state laws. A couple of states (I think only FL and TX, but may be others) have their own debt collection laws which state that the CA has 30 days to validate or remove from your credit report. If they do not, it is a violation, and they can be sued for damages. In states that do not have these laws, you simply have to keep trying to get validation, and possibly file a complaint with your local AG and the FTC. You have the right to have a claim validated before you pay it, and LVNV thinks they are above this! Truth is, most junk debt buyers cannot validate, as they do not have access to the proper documentation from the original creditor (such as the signed credit card agreement).

Be really careful deaing with these people! They don't validate-or validate fully and will try to hound and beat you into making a pyament or arrangements. They will threaten any and everything!
It's best to send a second request for validation-keep copies of everything, and notes of calls made to you! Good Luck..karen __________________
