Is this a violation by the CA?

[creditcrunched]

Hi all!

I sent a DV to the CA LNVN and rec'd my green card back with the date stamped 3-10. But TruCredit sent me an alert saying they had reported me to Equifax on 3-16. My question is this: LNVN was already on my CR prior to this new reporting so 1) Is this a violation because it was reported to a CRA while in dispute w/out validating and 2) Why would they re-report it and does it affect my credit negatively?

FYI: I am not trying to get out of paying legitimate debts but I honestly have no idea where this debt originates.

Please help!

If it wasn't on that report before the DV then I would say yes it is a violation but someone with more experience will probably be by soon to correct me However you should read this sticky in the collection forum about LVNV

I had luck removing them from my girlfriends reports by DVing them (with follow up) and also disputing with the CRAs. Hers was from an old Sears account.

Thanks for replying Sparky!

I believe I have had mini-success since I have just received notice from Experian that my LNVN account has been deleted!

I will wait until I receive a notice in writing from LNVN before I consider the matter closed. I am crossing my fingers that I won't have to follow up with the other CRAs to get this TL deleted.

And even better news...I have 5 deletions already just from my online dispute!!!!!! I wasn't trying to get out of them, but the extra charges seemed exorbitant and apparently they did not keep good records! Someone is looking out for me

This is a great place so thanks to all for this oasis of info!
