Who they are
Resurgent Capital Services is headquartered in Maryland. A debt collector that manages and collects on charged-off consumer debt on behalf of debt buyers. If a letter or call references an account you don't recognize, that's common — Resurgent collects on behalf of debt buyers who purchased your account from the original creditor (a credit card company, retailer, or lender), and the name on the paperwork might be the debt buyer (like LVNV Funding) while Resurgent is the one contacting you. That's a normal part of how debt buying works, not a sign anything unusual is happening — but it's worth knowing so the names on your paperwork make sense.
Your rights if they've contacted you
Whichever collector contacts you, the same federal law applies. You have 30 days from their first written contact to request validation — a written request asking them to prove the debt is real and yours. Once you do, they're required to stop collection activity until they've provided that proof.
If Resurgent Capital Services has contacted you about a debt, PUSHBACK reads the notice you received and drafts that request from the specific details on it — you review it before you pay anything.
