Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2020 I contacted LVNV Funding, LLC in care of Resurgent Capital Services at the address listed on my XXXX XXXX credit report ( Appendix A ). I received confirmation that my letter was received on XX/XX/2020 at XXXX ( Appendix B ). I wrote to them to validate the debt since True Accord had been emailing me to settle the debt with them ; they never mentioned Resurgent Capital Services in their correspondence, only LLNV Funding and the original creditor ( Appendices C-J ). 

When I did not receive a response from LVNV Funding or Resurgent Capital Services within 30 days of them receiving my letter, I contacted XXXX  on XX/XX/2020 explaining that I was not sure who payments should be made to ( Appendix K ). In the meantime, LVNV Funding/Resurgent Capital began reporting the account to XXXX  in addition to XXXX. My letter to XXXX was received around XX/XX/XXXX ( Appendix L ) and without responding to my request, XXXX replied that the account was being reported accurately around XX/XX/XXXX. A few days after I mailed the letter to XXXX, I received a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX concerning the same debt ( Appendix M ). I wrote to XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2020 explaining to the them the steps that I had taken to find out who should actually be paid to resolve this debt ( Appendix N ). XXXX XXXX XXXX received my letter on XX/XX/2020 at XXXX ( Appendix O ). To date they have not responded to me. 

On XX/XX/2020, I made the decision to pay Resurgent Capital since they were the company listed on my credit report. I went to their website and was given the option to pay 80 % to settle the account ( see Appendix P ). On the Resurgent website the payment showed as pending ( Appendix Q ). Note that to the right of the account information, they state that when a payment is made that resolves the account is processed, they will submit a request to the credit bureau to have the tradeline deleted from the credit report. The payment showed up on my bank account the very next day ( Appendix R ), yet the Resurgent website showed that no payment was made or scheduled ( Appendix S ). I immediately called the office and spoke with XXXX who verified that they had the payment and stated that I should receive a letter within five days stating that the account was settled. On XX/XX/2020 I called Resurgent again because I had not received the letter and the account was not showing as settled on their website. The individual that I spoke to this time told me that I should have received a receipt for the payment in five to seven business days and that I would receive the letter stating that the account was settled within 20 days. This person went on to say that it would take about 30 days for the account to be removed from my credit report. I was also told that there was a delay in processing my account because they had put my account into a dispute status when they received my letter ( that they never responded to ). 

On XX/XX/2020, I received a credit alert advising me that the balance on the account had decreased with XXXX and that I have a balance due of {$170.00}, the exact amount of the discount that they offered. There is nothing on the credit report indicating that the account has been settled or is being deleted. In fact, my credit score dropped 33 points and this account was the only change on the report. The payment has not been posted to XXXX at all.

Company response to consumer: Closed with explanation
