Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against PYOD LLC for violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

PYOD LLC has placed a collection account on my credit report without following the required legal procedures. Specifically, they have violated the following provisions of the FDCPA : 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ) : PYOD LLC failed to provide me with written validation information regarding the debt they are attempting to collect. This information should include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor, and a breakdown of charges. 
12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ) : I have not been given a fair opportunity to dispute the validity of the debt. PYOD LLC did not provide the proper channels for me to contest the account. 
12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ) & 15 USC 1681-S2 ( 7 ) ( A ) : PYOD LLC furnished negative information to a credit reporting agency without providing me with all the necessary disclosures required by law. This includes the validation information mentioned above.

Complaint narrative:
I have diligently followed all the necessary procedures in disputing this account. I've reached out to the bank and they assured me the issue was resolved. I've also contacted law enforcement and provided a report and affidavit, which they confirmed as valid. Additionally, I've engaged with XXXX and XXXX, who complied with legal requirements and removed the account. However, Experian seems to be presenting obstacles, claiming I haven't completed all the necessary steps. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

Understanding the leniency towards banks and credit reporting agencies in legal matters, I'm hesitant to pursue a lawsuit. Despite repeatedly submitting my claim to Experian over six months, I remain stuck. Each time, I receive a dismissive response, alleging that the documents I've provided are inadequate. I urge the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) to thoroughly investigate this case, as it appears Experian is failing to fulfill its legal obligation to process the identity theft report. 

I want to emphasize that I've reported the identity theft to a law enforcement agency, specifically Identitytheft.gov, which is a federal entity. I seek a resolution to this matter that adheres to proper procedures. The distress caused by this identity theft, coupled with the inability to access my credit, is severely impacting both my personal and professional life. I am overwhelmed and feel like I'm losing control. Please handle this matter with urgency.

Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC

Complaint narrative:
This account was in 2014, it's already been taken off my credit report it's so old. They bought my name or something and is trying to drag up something from 10 years ago. I spoke to my atty, and he Said just throw their letters away that case is over they're just mass mailing people accts they've bought, someone has called y to see the date on it, and knows statute is up. But in the meantime I'm getting letters and non stop phone calls. He suggested I write the company and ask for original paperwork, but they keep changing their name, it was portfolio recovery but the letterhead was someone new, which I didn't keep the letter, since I was told it was old, do nothing just throw it away. If they would even look at the date they'd see their error. I don't know who they are but this is close to harassment. They call at least 3x a week. I would like them to cease and desist any further contact with me. And read what they buy and try to collect on. 

Thanks XXXX XXXX
