How you can remove a negative mark from LVNV Funding from your credit report and improve your credit score.
LVNV Funding is a purchaser of debt. They purchase debt both domestically and internationally.
They buy debt from banks, finance companies and other collection agencies. They outsource the collections to a variety of collection agencies most notable Resurgent Capital Services.
Resurgent performs the collections on behalf of LVNV Funding. However Resurgent outsources their collection work to other collection agencies.
Accounts collected upon are often credit cards and other forms of unsecured debt. If LVNV is contacting you it is regarding a delinquent 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.
So if you have had a credit card that was charged off, it could be multiple negative listings. You could have one negative mark from the credit card issuer, another negative mark from LVNV Funding and another negative mark 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.
The best way to remove a mark from LVNV from your credit is to dispute the listing. This is done by sending a credit repair letter to the credit bureaus directly. In this letter you give the account details and explain why the account is invalid or inaccurate.
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.
