I was alarmed to find these inaccurate late payment remarks on my credit report this morning without any explanation. As part of my routine, I reviewed my report, but this time, I noticed discrepancies that hadnt been there before. Hoping it was just a system glitch, I refreshed my browser, yet the errors persisted. Because of this, I am requesting a thorough verification of the documents I have provided so that I can put this issue behind me.

Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint as the trustee of XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding the inappropriate practices of credit reporting and collection by LVNV Funding LLC and its administrator Resurgent Capital Services. 

I requested the validation of an alleged debt that LVNV Funding claims to have. In response, Resurgent Capital Services sent me three nearly identical account summaries, which do not constitute adequate validation under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). An original signed agreement or proof of assignment was not provided.

In addition, these supposed debts have been reported in my credit file several times changing administrator as separate accounts. This duplication is inaccurate, misleading and violates the Fair Credit Information Act ( FCRA ). 

In addition, I sent my previous correspondence on a fiduciary basis as an XXXX XXXX XXXX trustee, but Resurgent improperly directed its response to me personally, ignoring the legal entity that made the request. Any report under my personal name is inaccurate and illegal.

I request that : 1. LVNV/Resurgent provides proper validation or immediately delete the account completely.

2. All duplicate entries will be removed from my credit report immediately.

3. Any misattribution under my personal name must be corrected.

4. CFPB oversees this case to ensure compliance with the FDCPA and FCRA.

Attached are copies of the Resurgent letters, along with envelopes showing three duplicate answers.

don't want to wait another month, I've been trying to clear my name for years that they've done me enough damage, I haven't been able to clear my name for 9 years dragging this.

Today I say enough I'm psychologically exhausted because if I knew that they use power and law justly but what I see is evil, dishonor and bad practice XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I recently conducted a review of my credit report and found several items that have caused me significant distress. These items appear to be unverifiable, inaccurate, and questionable. Your agency has failed to ensure the accuracy of the information as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) Accuracy of Reports. This statute mandates that consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information, you are required to promptly delete or modify any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable during a reinvestigation. If you are unable to provide me with verifiable proof of the accuracy of the disputed items within 15 days of your investigation, these accounts and the related information must be removed from my credit report.

Additionally, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I do not recognize any of the alleged creditors or debt collectors. I have never entered into a valid contract with any of these entities, nor have I engaged in any transactions with them. As such, these accounts are fraudulent and and inaccurate information.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this formal complaint against TransUnion for repeated and willful violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) in connection with identity theft disputes I have filed. Despite providing TransUnion with a complete FTC Identity Theft Report and supporting documentation, they have failed to block or delete fraudulent accounts from my credit report, as required by law. Specifically, the accounts in question include XXXX XXXXXXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX which the banks confirmed would be removed but remains on my report ; all of which are identity theft-related and should have been blocked under 1681c-2 of the FCRA. TransUnions refusal to act constitutes a violation of 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ), for failing to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation, and 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ), for reinserting accounts without proper notice. These negligent actions have caused me XXXX XXXX wasted time, and financial harm. 
For reference and further substantiation, I am attaching a copy of the letter dated XX/XX/scrub> 2025, which outlines my dispute and legal demand for deletion. This letter serves as formal notice and supports the claims made in this complaint.

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations. 

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.
