Arrow Financial Services – Debt Buyer Closed Shop – Debts Purchased – LVNV Collecting

by 540 Comments

Arrow Financial Services was once a major player in buying up bad debts like charged off credit card bills. One of the more aggressive ways Arrow sought to collect on old unpaid credit card debts was to use the courts.

Debt buyers like AFS send some of the debts they buy up on the cheap to an attorney debt collection law firm. Arrow and other bad debt investors rely on the fact that 90% or so of people are not sure about how to deal with a debt collection lawsuit.

Who is collecting debt for defunct Arrow Financial Services?

People get served a summons and complaint on an unpaid credit card bill and tend to put their head in the sand. What winds up happening when the lawsuit gets ignored, or where a person was not aware they were being sued (it happens), is a default judgment is entered. Those judgments can then be collected on, or even sold off to another debt buyer.

Arrow Financial closed up shop. Where did the debt go?

In just the last week I have gotten a couple of questions on and off line about how to find where Arrow Financial Services judgment debt has gone. In all cases the requests were related to:

  1. Someone trying to qualify for a mortgage and underwriting suggests they cannot approve a new loan, or the approval on a new loan will have an increased likelihood of success by settling old judgment debt.
  2. Someone trying to sell a home and satisfy or settle the judgment debt in order to pass clear title. Even if the home owner is trying for a short sale.

It is difficult to find much public information about who purchased the Arrow portfolio, or portions of it. According to a person I spoke with last week, they have a former arrow judgment account that they tracked to LVNV now owning.

LVNV is a Large Debt Collection Agency

LVNV is part of the Resurgent Capital Management and Sherman Acquisitions brand. I was able to confirm that Resurgent/Sherman/LVNV brand did pick up a “good portion” of the Arrow Financial Services debt portfolio.

      I do not think so.
      Frontline does collect for LVNV/Resurgent, who did buy most of the Arrow assets.

    We are trying to refinance our home. When a title was pulled on my husband a “lien” from Arrow Financial was noticed. This is very odd as it did not show up when we purchased this home. We had sold another home and did pay off many bad debts of his at closing. One to LVNV funding, however not in the amount listed with these Arrow people. Why would this not show up from the sell of the former house and now 2 years later appear when we are trying to refinance. These bottom dwellers are a special kind of evil, in my humble opinion

    Default Final Settlement in Florida Court 9/14/2009 plaintiff Arrow Financial Services. I was unaware that this ever happened until last Friday when contacted by Nations Recovery Center Inc of LVNV Funding LLC. Was told that if I didn’t pay total they would/could freeze/seize my bank account. I have limited income of Social Security $1500 per month and am 70 yrs old. Barely making it on SS and Nations wants me to put the total on 3 available credit cards that I have but don’t use because of inability to pay for things I can’t get on cash. I’m willing to try and pay but I’d be homeless if I had to make minimum payments on $7000 credit card debt. Saw your You Tube that indicated that they couldn’t grab my bank account which was a big relief if heard it right. What do I do?

    I have judgement on me which is preventing a home loan. It is from 2008 and I paid it but bank records don’t go that far back. LNV has no record of me.

    having trouble finding out who has purchased the debt from arrow financial services. I called LVNV and they have no record… This was an abstract of judgment that was issued in 2008.

    Hello Michael, I am experiencing the same nightmare as many others in the comments. My son, which is in high school just sent me a text saying that his bank account has an hold on it. I called…long story short its a debt that I have. I called the Law firm: they mentioned Arrow Financial and LVNF, I googled them because I have no idea who they are. It’s a judgement from 2010. I can remember having a credit card that I didn’t pay in 2006 or 2007. I They want $9k and the card only had a $2,500 limit. Can you recommend any lawyers in the Dallas, TX area?
