Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Alleged Violation of 15 USC 1692g - Validation of Debt I am asserting that a debt collection attempt made by LVNV Funding LLC, breaches my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), particularly under 15 USC 1692g, which mandates the validation of debt.

**Lack of Opportunity to Dispute Debt** Despite being approached by LVNV Funding LLC , regarding an alleged debt, I lacked prior knowledge of its existence and was not afforded the opportunity to contest it. 

**Request for Certified Mail Receipt** Per 15 USC 1692g , debt collectors are obligated to furnish consumers with a written notice within five days of initial contact, outlining debt details and dispute rights. However, no such communication was received. I demand LVNV Funding LLC, furnish the certified mail receipt, corroborated by my signature, confirming compliance with statutory notification requirements. 

**Unlawful Debt Collection Practices in New Jersey** It has come to my attention that LVNV Funding LLC , lacks authorization to pursue debt collections in New Jersey , my state of residence. Consequently, any pursuit of this alleged debt contravenes state regulations.
