Nevertheless, I sent a DV letter to LVNV Funding and 12 days later I receive a letter from them stating that their verified the debt. There verision of verifing the date is show on a sepereate page with the following:

Validation of Debt: June 10th 2009, my name, account number and that it was acquired from Nextel and now owned by LVNV Funding. I am not a very fluent when dealing with CA, but is this a valid DV? And if not. what would you suggest I do next.

P.S. As part of my 1-2 punch, I sent a letter to the CRA stating that I had no knowledge of the account, which I do not. This is what is showing on my credit report:
CA: LVNV FUNDING LLC
OC: NEXTEL
DATE REPORTED: 02/09
DATE OPENED: 09/07
DLA: N/A
ACCT TYPE: OPEN - Which Is A Violation
BALANCE: $250.00
PAST DUE: $270.00
MONTHS REVIEWED: 15
30/60/90+: 0/0/0

Hey JJ,

Yes this is for a cell phone. I had so many cell phones in my lifetime, but I can not recall having one from Nextel. If I diod have one, I know for a fact that it's been atleast 8-10 years ago.
