Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.

Complaint narrative:
I received a debt collection notice from Resurgent Capital Services on behalf of LVNV Funding LLC, attempting to collect on a charged-off credit card account originally held by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

In response, I sent a formal debt validation request under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). They responded by sending a generic statement from XXXX XXXX XXXX  but failed to provide : A signed copy of the original credit agreement An itemized accounting of charges, interest, and payments Proof that LVNV Funding LLC is legally assigned the right to collect this debt Their response is insufficient under the FDCPA. They are continuing to report this account to credit bureaus without having properly validated the debt, which is a violation of both the FDCPA and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

I am requesting that the CFPB investigate this matter, and that LVNV Funding be required to cease all collection activity and remove the account from all consumer credit reports unless they can provide full legal validation of the debt.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
TransUnion reinserted a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account onto my credit report after it was previously deleted. I sent XXXX certified dispute letters and have XXXX tracking proof. I also sent a pre-arbitration notice, and XXXX XXXX acknowledged receipt by email, agreeing the account would be removed. 
Despite this, the account was reuploaded without proper notice or reinvestigation, which violates FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ). I have attached proof of email communications, screenshots, certified mail receipts, and the original pre-arbitration letter. 
Equifax already removed this same account after a CFPB complaint, showing the dispute was valid. The re-reporting by TransUnion is unlawful, misleading, and causing financial harm, especially as I attempt to qualify for housing and financing Despite this, TransUnion unlawfully reinserted the account without proper reinvestigation or notice, in violation of FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ). This account is currently marked as past due, which is inaccurately inflating my credit utilization and severely damaging my payment history both of which are protected under FCRA 607 ( b ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy.

This misreporting is harming my credit score and preventing me from obtaining necessary housing and financing. I am requesting that this account be permanently removed and that TransUnion be investigated for repeated noncompliance with federal law.
