Consumer complaint received 2023-06-19 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I received an email from another agency by the name Resurgent, conveniently after I submitted a CFPB Complaint on LVNV Funding and to this date has not provided a response. At the least this is confusing and misleading to me the consumer. Do I owe both Resurgent and LVNV Funding for the same debt? Also i have yet to receive the consumer notification that is required under " Regulation F ''. This notification is required.
