Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: IA

Complaint narrative:
I received a text message on XXXX XXXX XXXX   and again on XX/XX/XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX claiming I owed XXXX. 

I called XXXX XXXX XXXX  and spoke to XXXX XXXX. She claimed LVLN and Resurgent hired them to collect on an account that should never have been sold. As I shared with her, I would provide the complaints previously filed with CFPB in XXXX along with the documentation from the XXXX vice president stating they do not have an account for me. 

Following is a copy of the email sent to XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX : To Whom It May Concern : I spoke to XXXX XXXX the afternoon of Thursday, XX/XX/XXXX regarding a collection attempt. I have never received any letter, yet did get a text, which makes me suspicious. As I shared with XXXX when I called directly, the information she has is incorrect ; therefore, I am attaching some of the documentation from a case I filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Agency back in XXXX 

Of particular note, I corresponded directly with XXXX regarding this claim. As youll see in the letter dated XXXX XXXX XXXX, from XXXX XXXX, Assistant Vice President of Customer Relations, XXXX found they did not have record of any reports to credit agencies. 

Finally, regarding the ongoing harassment of the collection agencies, this account should not have been continued to be sold. The previous company posted this resolution to my case on XXXX XXXX XXXX : Good afternoon, In light of the consumers circumstances we have elected to permanently discontinue all collection efforts on this account. The account has been recalled from the servicing agent and is now closed. 

Please let me know if I need to reopen and file new complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Agency. I will need to know exactly which companies are involved in this continued harassment to me. Otherwise, please respond letting me know that this case is closed and whatever account in question will not continue to be sold. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IA XXXX XXXX Again, all documentation to that email to include the following previously filed cases : XXXX XXXX XXXX On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from Resurgent Capitol stating they are reviewing an account for LVNV funding. I called the number and spoke to XXXX. This person was asking for personal information including my Social Security number, as well, which I refuse to give as I believe these people are scammers. 

LNLV Funding, LLC is listed on the letter. As I told XXXX when I called the number on the text message, at no point have I received any previous communications about this from that entity, which again leads me to believe these companies are scammers, especially as this was resolved years ago. 

This was resolved long ago, yet I continue to get harassed by these companies, who want to know my personal information, where I work, and I have been contacted at work during the previous filed complaints.

Company response to consumer: Closed with explanation
