Consumer Narrative
I received a letter in the mail from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2022. I opened the letter and realized this was a debt collector from yet again another debt collection agency that I just complained and tried to dispute. LVNV Funding has resold my account as if they are the original creditor and they are not. I never gave LVNV FUNDING or XXXX XXXX SERVICES my written instructions to furnish my account at all. 15 U.S.C. 1681 section 604 A Section 2 : states that a creditor can not furnish an account with the consumers written instructions. I am the consumer, and they are the creditor. That should be enough for this debt to be deleted. Also, they sent on XX/XX/XXXX that the debt was indeed valid and have chosen to keep it on my credit report but how is the debt indeed valid if they are not the current owners of the account. This account was resold to XXXX XXXX XXXX, and I received that letter XX/XX/2022. This is another clear violation of both LVNV FUNDING, XXXX AND XXXX because I asked them to delete this account as well. First off, they violated 15 U.S.C. 1681 c. ( a ) ( 5 ). This section states : no consumer reporting agency ( XXXX ) may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information. Any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than seven years. This alleged debt is not a record or conviction clearly but yet XXXX has chosen to leave it on my account. Even if the account is closed it should not be on my account because according to that law stated above under the FCRA nothing should be on a consumers report unless I have given written instructions which I have not, it was a judgement, which it was not, or it is the result of a conviction which it is not. It should be deleted. LVNV and XXXX should not be able to furnish my account at all. I did not give them permission and XXXX did not dispute my account accurately when asked.
