Complaint:
This complaint is regarding an account that was added to my credit report ( all 3 bureaus ) on or about XX/XX/XXXX. Company name LVNV Funding. As a victim of identify theft, I followed the procedures by promptly filing a dispute with all three credit bureaus, as well as sending a debt validation letter directly to LVNV Funding requesting validation of the debt. I received no response. On or about XX/XX/XXXX, the collection was deleted from my credit reports. On today, XX/XX/XXXX, I received an alert from XXXX that my credit score had dropped 26 points. To my dismay, the collection account LVNV Funding had been re-added to my credit report. I thought that once removed, debt could not be re-added. I immediately contacted XXXX to inquire about this, and was told that they only report what the company tells them to, but that I could dispute the item again with them, and also directly to the company. I filed another dispute. I have in my possession a police report & identity theft report. I also added a fraud alert and credit freeze to my credit file, when I realized my identity had been used fraudulently. XXXX has copies of these reports. This collection does not belong to me. I have no knowledge of this company nor the company from which they purchased the debt. ( I was told today by XXXX the debt was originally from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ). I have never had an account or affiliation with XXXX XXXX. I am requesting that this company be investigated, and that the collection be promptly removed from my credit report ( XXXX ), and this company permanently blocked from future reporting as this has been a complete nightmare for me and my family, and has taken a tremendous toll on me mentally, and also taken a lot of time and effort to attempt to resolve. It has also caused me stress and frustration. I am filing this complaint for assistance with this matter, as I am at my wits end. My next step is to contact my Attorney General to report the matter, with the hope that it can end and my credit report be restored to reflect accurate information. 


Additionally, there is another inaccurate collection reporting to my XXXX credit file. XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have disputed this account multiple times since XXXX as a result of identity theft. I was successful at getting the item removed from both XXXX and XXXX, but not XXXX. Recently, I attempted to dispute it again ( XX/XX/XXXX ) with XXXX, but was told that since it has been disputed numerous times, I could not file a dispute with the credit bureau, only the debt collector directly. I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX by mail in XX/XX/XXXX, requesting validation of the debt, but received a letter stating that they have sent me information regarding the debt in the past, and that they will no longer send further information. I have never received a phone call or any correspondence from this company, and have no knowledge of this debt. As a consumer, I feel that all 3 credit reports should reflect both accurate and consistent information. With this collection on my XXXX report, that is not the case.

Company response to consumer: Closed with explanation
