BV80 Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 LVNV filed a lawsuit against us in 2009. We responded, requested discovery, and LVNV dropped the case a year ago. They are still reporting on my hubby's credit report. Today, he got a letter from a new CA who is collecting for another CA (not LVNV) about that very debt. It's outside the SOL, by the way. I'm going to send them a nice little letter telling them to eat dirt. Here's my question: If LVNV sold the debt to this new agency and no longer owns it, am I correct in stating that LVNV can no longer report to the CRAs?

WhoCares1000 Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 Depends on whether LVNV sold it or assigned it. I think LVNV is one of those organizations that have many different collection company names and keeps moving the debt around.Personally, if the debt is out of SOL, just send a C&D letter and wait for it to die off of your CR.

BV80 Posted November 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 The new CA is TrakAmerica who is owned by the Reprise Management Group. Couldn't find any connection to LVNV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKeeper Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 I received a new letter from a CA for the LVNV account that I had dismissed in June 09 as well. The situation is exactly the same & the new CA shows Trakamerica as the creditor as well. The letter was from Tate & Kirlin Assoc.I was considering sending a copy of the dismissal from the court along with my DV letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BV80 Posted November 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 The letter was from Tate & Kirlin Assoc.That's who sent my letter. I haven't decided if I'm going to send them a letter or not. I might just sit back and do nothing and see if they file a Complaint. If they do, I'll file a countersuit for suing outside the SOL.I was considering sending a copy of the dismissal from the court along with my DV letter. If it's outside the SOL, tell them to eat dirt. Don't forget about the time the SOL was tolled due to the lawsuit, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoCares1000 Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Don't worry about Tate and Kirlin. They tried to but me about a debt my mother owed. I told them to bugger off and they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Credithis Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 You still need to DV to preserve your rights, and don't DV Tate & Kirlin, DV TrakAmerica or otherwise you will be playing the same whack a mole crap that LVNV puts you through. TrakAmerica will simply send it on to another CA to collect for them. Ask for a DV and mention SOL, LVNV already lost in court, and whatever else.
