Sometime in January i think, a TL from LVNV showed up on my CRs with a opening date of 09/11 for an account that is clearly out of SOL and is due to fall off this fall. The amount reported is quite inflated as well. Anyway, I just filed a complaint with the BBB yesterday and hope my story ends as well as yours did. This year, I should have at least five old baddies fall off my reports and I am paying down my UTL to get a nice jump in my score(hopefully). I was so disappointed to see that pop up when it is so close to falling off. So my question is, if the debt itself is more than seven years old, but the JDB list it as opening more recently, will it stay on for seven more years?? that seems like illegal re-aging to me, or am I not getting that correct?
That 9/11 date is probably when they took over the debt. No matter what, your DOFD (and therefore CRTP) is set in stone. It doesn't change so don't worry.
this is an email i received this morning from the BBB. I will update when I get another response about it. Basically the same complaint, no dunning, no anything, just popped up on my CRs.
This message is in regard to your complaint submitted on 3/14/2012 12:00:00 AM against LVNV FUNDING, LLC. Your complaint was assigned ID xxxxxxxx.

See my post on the other thread with the response I got to this complaint

Got word back from BB on LVNV and success indeed. The TL will be deleted from all three CR's!! I don't know if that will boost my score a bit because they do show a balance on the account, which in their reply has been changed to 0 now. YAY for the BB!!!
Can somebody please PM me with the complaint you used for the BBB?
thanks
Congrats to you rckstrscott! I LOVE hearing success stories. I hope my run in with LVNV turns out as great as yours!
LVNV showed up on my CR for an old account with expired SOL. I have never recieved a DN from them, either. Quite frankly, I am unsure if this is actually my account or not. I did have an account with WF (the OC), however, the amount reported is signifcantly different (over $1k ). Because I am whipping my credit in shape to apply for a mortgage, I have been trying to PFD this company but haven't had much success yet. If someone can PM an example of their complaint to BBB I'd appreciate it SO much!
I basically put in the facts. Never received DN, and TL showed up in Jan 2012 on my CRs. just the facts ma'am. I googled and filed the complaint online. very simple really.
Just the facts--got it! Thanks.
GOOD LUCK!!
