Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I applied for an auto loan on XXXX XXXX for the amount of {$3900.00}. LVNV FUNDING LLC on behalf of XXXX XXXX has reported on the defaulted loan but instead of removing the debt from its original date of default the company has changed the date for it to appear as a new debt on my credit report. It shows as opened on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and active since XX/XX/year>. I had not been active on the account at all and just recently contacted to make a payment. I was unaware that what this company did was fraudulent and illegal as the debt should have been removed from my credit report after 7 years. I called to resolve the debt and that I would pay in increments but the representative was dismissive of my financial situation and told me that any offer could be denied if I did not make a payment that day. I made a payment of {$580.00} which they told me I would get an email confirmation for and I did not receive anything from the company nor has this changed on my credit report. Now I feel like I have to keep calling them when they shouldn't have charged me anything to begin with. I paid through a third party company of LVNV FUNDING LLC called XXXX.

They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Hello, filed a complaint XXXX XXXX of this year About struggling to make payment with this high interest loan and would like to have it discharged. Navient denied my request but replied that I met the criteria to apply for a School Misconduct Discharge.

I was told to wait 2 weeks by mail to give an reason why when I could've given an answer with the month i was waiting. I was given false hope to fill out this large application and gather sources to multiple reasons why my school committed fraud and Navient cant even meet me at the middle. The attachments are the sources, application filled and my denial letter.

Complaint narrative:
Less than a week ago XXXX XXXX XXXX  reported me 30 days late for XX/XX/2023. Besides the fact that we are now in XXXX, this reporting is incorrect. I did make my XXXX payment in the month of XXXX, I also have a confirmation email from the lender that confirms my payment was made in XXXX. However becouse of the XXXX XXXX Holiday the payment was drafter on XX/XX/XXXX, because of this they reported me delinquent. This is absurd, as in any financial institution the payments posting date is always the date the payment was made not when it was debited from the account. I am currently refinancing one of my properties and because of this erroneous reporting the lender advised us that they are denying my refinance. This is a huge problem as I am loosing my locked rate and my deposit. Please help as soon as possible!
