LVNV Funding is a purchaser of debt. They purchase debt both domestically and internationally.

They purchase debt from finance companies, banks and other collection agencies. Then outsource the actual collections of an account to a number of agencies primarily Resurgent Capital Services.

Resurgent performs the collections on behalf of LVNV Funding. However Resurgent outsources their collection work to other collection agencies.

LVNV typically only collects on delinquent unsecured debt such a charged off credit card. If they have been contacting you it is regarding an overdue 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.

You could have multiple negative listings on your credit report from one account. If you have a charged off credit card you will have one negative mark from the bank the credit card was issued by, another from LVNV Funding and yet another 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.

If you have a mark from LVNV, the most effective method for removal is to dispute the listing. You will dispute the accuracy or validity of the listing. This is done by sending a dispute letter to the credit bureaus.

The credit bureaus will then perform an investigation into the disputed listing. You should be aware that the credit bureaus only spend money be conducting investigations. Thus they are resistant and you may have to send your letter multiple times.

Or you can hire a professional credit repair firm to dispute the listing on your behalf. I suggest if you only have one or two negative listings try disputing them yourself. If you have more negative listings then you should consider hiring a professional credit repair firm.
