Settlement Offers From Sherman Financial, Alegis, Resurgent and Other Debt Collectors
We’ve been getting questions about Sherman Acquisitions, who they are or what they are. We
attempt to answer those questions with this document.
Variations of the names that have shown up on foreclosure and bankruptcy procedures are
Sherman Acquisitions LP, Sherman Acquisitions II, LP, and Sherman Acquisitions III, LP.
Outside of the court references and various forums I found little reference to the name. However,
in the court filings, Sherman Acquisition was acting for the plaintiffs in bringing suit, leading me to
believe they are part of the legal department or court recognized collectors. The names of some
of the plaintiffs provided some interesting information. An example: Sherman Acquisitions LP v
Some Persons Name, plaintiff LVNV Funding LLC.
Researching LVNV Funding led to this information: “LVNV Funding purchases portfolios of both
domestic (U.S.) and international consumer debt from credit grantors including banks, finance
companies, and other debt buyers. As the new owner of any debt purchased from the original
creditor or from another debt buyer, the LVNV Funding name may appear on a customer’s credit
report, or in a letter from a collection agency if the account is delinquent.
If you are a customer and would like to speak to a representative of LVNV Funding about your
account, please contact the Customer Service Department of Resurgent Capital Services LP
(www.resurgent.com) at 888-665-0374.
Theoretically LVNV Funding has purchased the debt, and is ultimately the party being paid,
Resurgent acts as a collector or servicer (receiver) for the funds on behalf of LVNV.

Information available from www.whois.sc shows Sherman Financial Group, LLC
(www.shermfin.com ) as the registrant of the web sites for Resurgent Capital Services
(www.resurgent.com and www.rcap.com), LVNV Funding (www.lvnvfunding.com ), and Alegis
Group (www.alegisgroup.com , website is inactive).
A recent addition has been Ventus Capital Services. It is a joint venture between Timothy Beffa
and Sherman Financial Group. To form the Ventus Capital joint venture, Beffa said he and his
management team contributed a company they've been running in St. Louis called Credit Control
Inc. Its customers are mostly in the health-care industry, he said.
Ventus Capital Services (www.ventuscap.com ) had the domain name registered to Ventus
Capital Services, with the first record created 16 June 2004, according to record searches.
Sherman Financial Group LLC is a leading purchaser of distressed consumer debt. The company
services and resells delinquent unsecured assets such as credit card receivables, student loans,
auto deficiencies, high loan-to-value second mortgages, and bankruptcy debt. With the acquired
resources Credit Control, Inc and Ventus Capital Services, expect to see them poised for the
collection of medical and dental bills.
In the debt-purchasing ranking, Sherman Financial Group, based in New York, leads the way with
$7 billion (value of the original debt) acquired in 2002 – impressive growth from 2000, when it
bought $4 billion. In 2002 Sherman paid $7 million for purchases with a face value of $7 billion
and had $325M in revenue.
The following are addresses and telephone numbers are for Sherman Financial Group:

Researchers are reasonably sure that the above telephone numbers belong to offices of the
Sherman Financial Group LLC. However, they also found some inactive web sites and telephone
numbers. These may have been shut down either due to similarities in their names (Sherman
Financial and Sherman Funding) or because of the unwanted attention that came because the
names so closely resembled the name of a debt buying and collection company.
