Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I started getting emails from Resurgent, email address XXXX, on XX/XX/year>. 

It is a debt collection email claiming that I owe more than {$1000.00}. It contained information about an account I have never had from a creditor I do not recognize. I do not have any accounts in default, and it's not my debt. Resurgent claims LVNV Funding LLC is the new owner of said account, and the message pushes for payment arrangement. 

Since then, they have emailed me another 12 times, almost every other day. I'm concerned that this is a scam, which is why I did not contact them : If they don't have my mailing address or phone, I don't want to give that to them by reaching out. And if it's not a scam, then it's a case of identity theft. A year or two ago, I discovered a case of identity theft on my credit report : Someone had opened a power bill under my SSN in a city I've never been to and then defaulted on the bill, so it's possible that whoever stole my SSN also opened other accounts. 

I'm very concerned because I'm currently in the process of buying a home, and the email says : " If you do not pay the debt, LVNV Funding LLC may report or continue to report it to the credit reporting agencies as unpaid. '' Please help me.
