Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P. (MA)

Hi LVNV FUNDING, XXXX XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX ; I am filing a formal complaint regarding a violation of my consumer rights under various sections of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 
According to 15 U.S.C. 602 ( a ), I am entitled to privacy, and 15 U.S.C. 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) specifies that a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions. I demand that all methods of communication and collections on this account cease immediately. I request the immediate deletion of this account from my credit report as I do not recognize this account, have no knowledge of it, and have no prior contractual obligations with the company in question.

You have violated my rights under the following sections of the FDCPA : 1. 1692d : By engaging in conduct that harassed, oppressed, and abused me in connection with the collection of an alleged debt, including sending a collection letter containing veiled and empty threats of legal action.

2. 1692e : By using false, deceptive, or misleading representations in connection with the collection of a debt, including the following : * 1692e ( 2 ) ( A ) : False representation of the character, amount, or legal status of the debt in the collection letter.

* 1692e ( 5 ) : Threatening to take legal action that can not legally be taken or is not intended to be taken.

3. 1692g ( b ) : By engaging in collection activities that overshadowed or were inconsistent with the disclosure of my right to dispute the debt, as stated in the collection letter.

4. 1692f : By using unfair or unconscionable means to collect or attempt to collect the debt, as alleged in the misconduct detailed herein.

Basically, I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or
operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity.
