Complaint:
Today, XX/XX/2023, I received an alert from XXXX that my XXXX XXXX had changed. After receiving this report, I investigated this matter further and found that my XXXX XXXX had dropped XXXX points. In addition, I found on my credit report that LVNV FUNDING LLC had flagged an account for Collections on XX/XX/2023. I was totally unaware of who this company was, as I have not received ANY communication from LVNV Funding, XXXX whatsoever, prior to today. The account name XXXX provided upon their website when I considered filing a dispute was " XXXX XXXX ''. From my research, XXXX is owned by Resurgent Capital Services, XXXX. Upon researching the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) web site, it came to my attention that before a debt collection agency can report to a credit bureau, the company must, and I quote from your web site " The XXXX debt collection rule requires debt XXXX to take certain steps before reporting a debt to a credit reporting company. Once the debt collector has followed the rules about how to contact you, then they can report your debt to a credit reporting company, provided they follow other laws about credit reporting. '' I have NOT received any validation notice from LVNV Funding, XXXX or Resurgent Capital Services, XXXX prior to them reporting it to XXXX, and possibly other credit bureaus.

Company: Conn's, Inc.
State: TX
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
I opened an account with Conn 's in XXXX of last year. Initially the associate made a mistake on my order & once this was noticed, rather than correcting the account, a new account was opened and the balance was supposed to be transferred to the new account. At the time I did not even know about the existence of the first account. I was made aware when Conn 's collection department called me, requesting payment for this erroneous account. I have spent countless hours on the phone with the various departments within Conn 's and have been assured repeatedly that this would not effect my credit and the first account would be closed out. Well over six months later I have had no resolution & both accounts are reporting on my credit, with the erroneous account, reporting negatively. I receive almost daily collection calls from Conn 's which ultimately end with the associate reading the notes & apologizing, again, assuring me the matter will be taken care of soon. My " real '' account is in good standing & I am a very frustrated & unhappy customer. 

I would like to reiterate that at no time was I made aware that a second account was opened in my name, nor was I aware that the first account was balance transferred to the second account.

State: CA
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
This letter is to formally advise you that I believe your company has violated several of my consumer rights. Specifically, you failed to validate a debt at my request, which is a FDCPA violation and you continued to report a disputed debt to the Credit Bureaus : another FCRA violation. Not only have you ignored my prior requests for validation of debt but you continue to report this debt to the credit bureaus causing damage to my character. This letter will again request that you follow the FDCPA and please provide the following validation of debt request : -Proof of your right to own/collect this alleged debt -Balance claimed including all fees, interest and penalties -Contract bearing my personal signature As you may be aware, " Estoppel by Silence '' legally means that you had a duty to speak but failed to do so therefore, that must mean you agree with me that this debt is false. I will use the Estoppel in my defense. I expect to receive the proof requested above within 15 days of this letter. 
Should you again ignore my request for validation of debt I reserve the right to sue your company for violations of my consumer rights as specified under both the FDCPA and the FCRA. I may also seek damages from you if warranted.
