I rec'd a letter today from an atty's office - very basic letter listing in the subject heading "client" as LVNV Funding. The letter simply barks in caps "your account is long past due! `Never heard of LVNV. so I checked my state secretatry of state office & find it's neither a fictitious name nor a an entity reqistered to do business here. W/ a little more searching I found this is just one of a long string of ofshoots of another CA, (Sherman) - On of their OTHER named corps IS registered but not the one listed in my letter. I DO know that this does NOT satisfy legitimacy for this corp & If I remember correctly, this is a violation. - Or did I misunderstand?
