i had a sear account years ago as in 1970 i opened it..anyway in 2001 it was a charge off...eventually closed and sold to jdb after jdb and ended with LVNV. anyway, due to its age, sears isn't showing up on my cr anymore..so this year i disputed lnvn with cra due to age..long story short, it came back verified 03/09. how can jdb verify debt when oc has ran its 7plus6months time frame? any thoughts?


long story short, they cannot--well, legally they cannot.

Contact the credit bureau back and inform them that they are reporting this debt long past its allowed reporting time--that the OC pulled this last year due to age and that unless they do the same you will be forced to consider legal action against them for violating the FCRA. The debt collector is violating both the FCRA nad the FDCPA with this reporting, I would consider sending both the CB and the debt collector a certified letter informing them of their violations of federal law and telling them to fix this ASAP or face the music. Then, as soon as you send those certified letters off, contact the FTC and your state's attorney general's office and report this debt collector for their illegal practices.

Contact the CRA's reporting and ask for the Date of First Default as provided by the data furnisher. See if that date jives with your information. I know from personal experience that Sears stopped reporting several years before the 7.5 year reporting period ended. If you can prove that LVNV has illegally re-aged the debt, sue them for $2500 per CRA per update.

I had LVNV on my credit reports. I sent the credit bureaus copies of everything I had sent to LVNV to validate my debit, which they never proved. Happy to say they were removed from all three credit reports. Save everything...

Why did they wait so long to 'discharge' it? That just seems like an awfully long time to do that. I have an old deebt with them, as well. THIS particular debt was from 1999. They STILL send me letters to pay on it.
