How to Remove LVNV Funding From Your Credit Report
LVNV Funding is a purchaser of debt. They purchase debt both domestically and internationally.
They buy debt from banks, finance companies and other collection agencies. They outsource the collections to a variety of collection agencies most notable Resurgent Capital Services.
Resurgent performs the collections on behalf of LVNV Funding. However Resurgent outsources their collection work to other collection agencies.
Most typical accounts are credit cards and unsecured debt. If you have or are being contacted by LVNV it is concerning a debt.
LVNV Funding uses credit reporting. So they can create a negative mark if they are unable to collect payment from you. They also can turn around and sell your account to another debt collector.
So if you have had a credit card that was charged off, it could be multiple negative listings. You could have one negative mark from the credit card issuer, another negative mark from LVNV Funding and another negative mark if they sold your account to another collection agency.
This is why it is vital to know what is reported on your credit. You should also be aware that making a payment to LVNV will not help your credit. Your payment will not bind them to remove a negative mark from your credit report.
Also LVNV will not be able to remove any other negative mark on your credit report regarding the account. So I strongly suggest getting in writing from LVNV that they will remove a negative mark from your credit report in exchange for your payment. Do this only if it is a valid and accurate debt.
The best way to remove a mark from LVNV from your credit is to dispute the listing. This is done by sending a credit repair letter to the credit bureaus directly. In this letter you give the account details and explain why the account is invalid or inaccurate.
Then the credit bureaus must investigate the listing. Expect some resistance from the credit bureaus you may need to mail the same letter two or three times.
The other option is to hire a credit repair firm. They will perform the dispute process for you with the credit bureaus. If you only have one or two negative marks on your credit report then I suggest do it yourself credit repair. If you have many negative listing then consider a credit repair firm.
