Who Is LVNV Funding?
LVNV LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sherman Originator LLC, who is in turn owned by the Sherman Financial Group who in turn is owned Sherman Capital LLC. They are a debt collection company who purchase past due debt from mostly banks and finance companies often for pennies on the dollar. They then pursue recovery for the full amount which makes the for a very lucrative business model, in 2006 Sherman reported a net profit of over $300 million dollars.
Why Am I Being Sued?
Typically, the method used by debt collection companies, like LVNV Funding, is to begin by continually calling and sending letters to the debtor regarding collection of the date. These continual calls, letters, and contacts can become extremely frustrating but should not be ignored. If you are receiving these calls regarding an outstanding debt – even if you do not believe that it is a debt you rightfully owe – contact us immediately.
We can help you to assess your situation and what may be done about it before a lawsuit is filed.
Often, if the debtor does not respond to the initial flurry of calls and letters, the debt collection company will take the next step of filing a lawsuit against the debtor in an attempt to recover the money. Receiving a summons naming you in a court case can be alarming, to say the least. But one thing you should absolutely not do is ignore it.
Often, debt collection agencies, such as LVNV Funding, bank on the fact that the debtors will do exactly that – ignore the case, fail to appear when summoned, and generally pretend as if the collection attempts are not happening. Do not fall victim to this tactic. Failing to respond to a lawsuit filed against you could ultimately result in a default judgment issued by the court in favor of the debt collection agency. After obtaining such a judgment, they can begin to do things like garnish your wages, take money from your bank accounts, repossess your property, and even put a lien on your home. Do not let this happen to you. Call us today if you're being harassed by LVNV Funding to find out how you can best begin to defend yourself.
