According to data from the New York State Unified Court System, LVNV Funding LLC, one of the most active junk debt buyers in the country, filed 19,418 debt collection lawsuits in New York in 2025. These lawsuits were spread across the state, including:
- 1,375 cases in Brooklyn
- 1,545 cases in Nassau County
- 1,231 cases in Manhattan
- 2,289 cases in Queens
- and a staggering 4,355 cases in Suffolk County
In addition to new filings, LVNV Funding continues to aggressively enforce old judgments obtained in prior years. Working through its longtime law firms—Pressler, Felt & Warshaw, Kirschenbaum & Phillips, P.C., Rubin & Rothman, LLC, and Tromberg, Miller, Morris & Partners, PLLC—LVNV Funding routinely collects through wage garnishments and frozen bank accounts, often catching consumers off guard and unaware of their legal rights.
Know Your Rights Under the FDCPA
LVNV Funding has a long history of being accused of violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA)—a federal law that protects consumers from false, misleading, deceptive, or harassing debt collection practices. Consumers regularly file lawsuits against LVNV Funding for these violations.
If a debt buyer like LVNV Funding violates the FDCPA, you have the right to sue for statutory damages of up to $1,000, plus actual damages (such as emotional distress or lost wages), and attorney’s fees. At the Law Offices of Robert J. Nahoum, we handle FDCPA cases with no out-of-pocket cost to our clients.
