Who Is PYOD LLC?

PYOD LLC is a debt collection company based in Las Vegas, Nevada. The company operates as part of the Sherman Financial Group.

PYOD LLC buys defaulted debt at discounted prices. They then try to collect that debt for a profit.

The company uses Resurgent Capital Services, a third-party collector, to contact consumers. Resurgent does the actual collection work on PYOD’s behalf.

PYOD LLC often buys zombie debts. These are old debts that have fallen off your credit report. The company may claim you still owe money years later.

What Types of Debt Does PYOD Collect?

PYOD pursues delinquent accounts from various companies and industries. The debts typically include:

Credit card balances
Medical bills
Personal loans
Retail store accounts
Utility bills

PYOD buys these debts in bulk for pennies on the dollar.

Powerful Defenses Against PYOD LLC Lawsuits

Debt collectors buy accounts in bulk to save money. They get steep discounts this way.

But bulk buying creates a major weakness. Most debt collectors receive minimal paperwork for each account.

PYOD LLC probably doesn’t have your original signed contract. In court, this document proves the debt belongs to you.

Without it, they cannot legally collect payment from you.

Many debt collectors use intimidation tactics instead of evidence. They count on you not knowing your rights.

Some people pay debts that aren’t even theirs. Don’t let this happen to you.

Even if PYOD claims you owe money, don’t assume they’re right. Protect yourself by knowing your consumer rights.

Request Debt Verification From PYOD LLC

PYOD LLC contacted you about a debt. Your first move is critical.

Request verification of the debt in writing. You deserve to see proof.

Never give PYOD personal information during phone calls. They can use anything you say against you in court.

Don’t share your Social Security number, addresses, or any other details. Simply request written verification and end the conversation.

Even if PYOD sends debt verification, they still need specific documentation. The original bill with your signature is the key piece.

Watch for illegal collection tactics. These violations could help you counter-sue PYOD LLC.

Our partner Solo helps you respond to debt collectors the right way. You can file your Answer to the lawsuit quickly and correctly.

Debt doesn’t belong to you

Our partner Solo walks you through the Answer process step by step. You can create a proper legal response without hiring an attorney.

How to Settle Debt With PYOD LLC

You can still negotiate a settlement after receiving the lawsuit. Settlement often costs less than the full debt amount.

Follow these steps to settle with PYOD LLC:

Step 1: File Your Answer

Respond to the lawsuit first. Filing an Answer gives you negotiating leverage and time.

Step 2: Calculate Your Settlement Budget

Use this formula to determine your maximum payment:

Amount available = (monthly income – monthly costs) + savings

Be realistic about what you can afford to pay.

Step 3: Make Your Initial Offer

Start below your maximum budget. Offer 25-40% of the total debt amount.

PYOD bought your debt for a fraction of its value. They may accept less than you expect.

Step 4: Negotiate Back and Forth

PYOD will likely counter your offer. Be patient through multiple rounds of negotiation.

Don’t reveal your maximum budget too early. Leave room to increase your offer gradually.

Step 5: Get Everything in Writing

Never pay until you have a written settlement agreement. The document must state:

The settlement amount
Payment terms and deadline
That payment settles the debt in full
PYOD will dismiss the lawsuit

Save all settlement documents and proof of payment. You’ll need these records if disputes arise later.

What Happens If PYOD LLC Can’t Prove the Debt?

PYOD must prove you owe the debt in court. They need the original signed contract or credit agreement.

Without this document, they have no legal right to collect. The judge should dismiss their case.

PYOD will bring other paperwork to court. They’ll show billing statements, account histories, and payment records.

None of these documents prove the debt is yours. Only your original signature on the contract matters.

Many people make a critical mistake in court. They admit the debt is theirs when they see the paperwork.

Never admit the debt belongs to you. Stay calm and stand your ground.

If PYOD can’t produce the original signed agreement, you win. The case gets dismissed.

Know Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act protects you from abusive collectors. PYOD LLC must follow strict rules when contacting you.

Debt collectors cannot:

Call before 8 AM or after 9 PM
Contact you at work if you tell them not to
Harass, threaten, or abuse you
Lie about the debt amount or their authority
Threaten actions they can’t legally take
Discuss your debt with others

Document every violation. Save voicemails, emails, letters, and call logs.

FDCPA violations give you grounds to countersue. You can recover damages and attorney fees.

Violations may also help you defeat PYOD’s lawsuit. Courts take these violations seriously.

Should You Hire an Attorney?

An attorney can significantly improve your outcome. Qualified debt attorneys know how to fight collectors like PYOD.

Benefits of hiring an attorney:

Proper legal defense strategy
Better settlement negotiations
Protection from collector tactics
Ability to countersue for violations

Many debt attorneys offer free consultations. Some work on contingency for FDCPA violation cases.

If you can’t afford an attorney, our partner Solo provides affordable help. You can respond to the lawsuit correctly and protect your rights.

What If You Really Owe the Debt?

Valid debt still gives you options. You don’t have to pay the full amount PYOD demands.

Settlement remains your best strategy. PYOD bought your debt for a fraction of its value.

They profit on any amount above their purchase price. A settlement at 40-60% benefits both parties.

Never agree to a payment plan without careful consideration. Monthly payments extend your stress and risk.

Miss one payment and PYOD can still sue you. Lump sum settlements close the matter permanently.

If you cannot afford any payment, you may have other options. Bankruptcy eliminates many types of debt entirely.
