What Is LVNV Funding LLC?

LVNV Funding LLC is a debt buyer, not a traditional debt collector. That means they purchase charged-off debts — often credit card accounts — from original creditors or other debt buyers for a fraction of the balance. Once they own the debt, they attempt to collect on it through collection agencies or law firms.

Quick Facts:

Based in Greenville, South Carolina
Owned by Sherman Financial Group
Often works with Resurgent Capital Services as a servicing agent
Frequently appears in credit card lawsuit cases across the U.S.

Who Does LVNV Funding LLC Collect For?

LVNV doesn’t collect on behalf of original creditors — they collect for themselves after buying the debt. However, they typically acquire portfolios from major credit card companies like:

Capital One
Citibank
Synchrony Bank
Chase
American Express
HSBC (older debts)
Comenity Bank

So, if you’re being sued by LVNV, chances are your original account started with one of these banks.

How LVNV Funding Gets Involved in Your Debt

Here’s how your account likely ended up with LVNV:

You fall behind on a credit card bill.
After 180+ days, the bank charges off your account.
The bank sells your debt to a company like LVNV Funding LLC.
LVNV becomes the legal owner of your debt and may sue you.

What Is Resurgent Capital Services?

Resurgent Capital Services is a collection agency that manages accounts on behalf of LVNV Funding. You may see their name in letters, emails, or credit reports.

If you call Resurgent about your LVNV debt, they’ll usually negotiate payment options or settlements — but they’re not the legal owner of the debt, LVNV is.

Can LVNV Funding Sue You?

Yes. LVNV is one of the most frequent filers of debt collection lawsuits in many states. If they’ve served you with a court summons, you need to respond quickly — or risk a default judgment.

What Happens If You’re Sued:

You have 14–30 days to respond (varies by state)
If you don’t respond, they can win automatically
A judgment may allow wage garnishment, bank levies, or liens
