Re: Please help

Is this new company reporting on your CR?
 
You are obviously within SOL if you were recently making payments.
 
Is the CA you were paying listed on your CR?
 
How long ago since you paid?
 
Seems odd that they'd sell/transfer debt while you were making payments.

No, I just received the letter today that LVNV FUNDING LLCC sold my account to Resurgent Capital Services Lp

I had montly payments with the old CA but they stop taking money from my account (jan 23) Excuseme I do not know what is SOL.
 
Is the CA you were paying listed on your CR?
No yet, the letter i reveived today says that i have 30 days to dispute the amount due.
My CR for april 5 shows the old CA - LVNV FUNDING LLCC
 
How long ago since you paid?
january 23, 2008

Does the letter specifically say that they SOLD the account. If they sold it vs assigning it to them to collect, then if I knew the debt was mine and agreed on the amount and could pay in full, I'd offer to pay Resurgent if they agreed in writing to not report the account.
 
After all that was done, I'd DV LVNV and they should remove the account from the CR.
 
However, with payments being so recent chances are you are within SOL(Statute of limitations) which is the time frame they have to sue you and win.
 
Others may be different opinons on what to do. Wait a day and see what other response you get.
 
 
This is just what I personally would do(use the situation to work for me.....getting the account off of CR)

DV = Debt Validation; it's a letter demanding that the CA prove that the debt is valid, that you owe what they claim you owe.  I think HappyDays has one that's been posted several times that you could adapt to your situation - you might run a search for "DV letter" and see what it turns up...
