Professional Credit Services, LVNV Funding, MCi ripoff Farmingdale New York
I received a letter from Professional Credit Services, Inc. Re LVNV Funding LLC. It states the original creditor as MCI. I have not had an account with MCI for several years, and I do not owe them any money. The letter from Professional Credit Services says I owe $78.08. Should I go ahead and contact them to let them know that I know this is a ripoff. How can I protect my credit report from this type of scam?
I would also like to know if this company is being investigated and possibly prosecuted for this type of scam? Also should I contact MCI and verfy with them that this is a fraudulent charge?

The same thing happened to me, so what I did, I wrote the lvnv funding, and requested an account history, and a validation of my signature. Make sure you send it certified, with return receipt requested. I never had an account with mci, and they were trying to rip me off for $133.00.
Do not call professional credit services, or mci communicate with professional credit services through the mail. MCI would not have your acccount after 2-3 years they destroy the files.
