LVNV Funding LLC Collection Agency
LVNV Collection Agency or Resurgent Capital Services? A case of collection agency (mis)identification
When you’re contacted by a collection agency it can sometimes be tricky to determine what company you’re actual dealing with. In order to avoid consumer calls (most collection agencies would prefer communication on their OWN terms), some companies operate under several different names and addresses.

Who Is LVNV Funding Collection LLC?
In order to avoid consumer calls (most collection agencies would prefer communication on their OWN terms), some companies operate under several different names and addresses. This can make it difficult to figure out if a company is a subsidiary, a partnering company, or a completely unrelated entity! The Internet is full of questions that start with “How can I find the phone number for ______________?” (Fill in the blank with the name of any of hundreds of consumer collection agencies in the U.S.).
LVNV Collection Agency is a prime example of one of these cases of mysterious identity. It was formerly doing business as Alegis, Sherman Financial and Sherman Acquisition, but no longer uses those names on account information as of July 1, 2005. So this makes things clearer, right? Well, not really. It’s also known as LVNV Funding and Resurgent Capital Services, LP. A little more digging reveals that Resurgent Capital Services (Resurgent) manages and services consumer debt portfolios for LVNV – and this is probably the name you’ll hear when you find yourself on the phone with a debt collector from this company.
Resurgent Capital Services began operations in 1998 and is located in Greenville, South Carolina, with additional offices Cincinnati, Ohio and Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Resurgent manages and services domestic and international consumer debt portfolios, working for credit grantors and debt buyers and purchasing domestic and international debt from credit grantors including finance companies, banks and other debt buyers. Their accounts include performing accounts as well as sub- and non-performing accounts, unsecured accounts and secured accounts. While Resurgent attempts to collect many of these accounts directly, it also outsources collection to a network of independently owned collection agencies and law firms, acting as a coordinator for debt collection in many cases.
One thing that makes Resurgent Capital Services stand apart from other debt collection agencies is that it is BBB Accredited and has been a member of the Better Business Bureau of Upstate South Carolina since May 2000. This means they are associated with more transparency, accountability (and perhaps even honesty) than other collection agencies. That said, it could be confusing when LVNV appears on your credit report or a letter from a collection agency. This is one reason that it’s not only important to learn how to deal with a collection agency – but to find out WHO you’re dealing with!
