I am being sued by a debt collector ( LVNV Funding , LLC ). LVNV Funding claims to have purchased a credit card debt in my name from XXXX Bank, who is listed as the " original creditor ''. Two months after my request for discovery, I received documents with my name and address indicating that I had a XXXX Bank XXXX credit card used from XXXX to XXXX, and that I had applied for this card " on or about '' XXXX XXXX, XXXX. The problem ; I have never had a XXXX XXXX credit card, or any other XXXX credit card. I then asked the attorney for the plaintiff to provide the application. The response was that sometimes there is no application because requests are done online. I can not believe that XXXX Bank would discard the information I would have needed to provide in order to obtain credit from them, even if done online without an actual signature ( unlikely in my case ). It should be a simple matter for the plaintiff 's attorney to provide the original application. What is the CFPB stance on something like this? How can I prove the debt is not mine when the plaintiff has documents that indicate otherwise?
