Consumer complaint received 2023-06-19
Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: TX

Sub-product: I do not know
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive notice of right to dispute

Complaint:
I received an email from another agency by the name Resurgent, conveniently after I submitted a CFPB Complaint on LVNV Funding and to this date has not provided a response. At the least this is confusing and misleading to me the consumer. Do I owe both Resurgent and LVNV Funding for the same debt? Also i have yet to receive the consumer notification that is required under " Regulation F ''. This notification is required.
