Sure! Heres a response you might consider : -- - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX, XXXX XX/XX/year> Portfolio Recovery Associates , LLC XXXX XXXX  XXXX, VA XXXX Dear Portfolio Recovery Associates, Thank you for your prompt response regarding the concerns I raised about the PRA account ending in XXXX. I appreciate your investigation into the matter. 

However, I would like to request further clarification regarding the validity of the account. While you state that you have verified the account and will cease communications, I would like to formally dispute the balance of {$2600.00} attributed to me. I believe that additional documentation may be necessary to confirm the accuracy of the claimed amount and the circumstances surrounding the account. 

I request that you provide a complete account history, including all relevant statements and records related to the original account. This will enable me to assess the validity of the charges and ensure that my rights are protected. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your timely response. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern, I am submitting a complaint against XXXX under 15 U.S.C. 1681i for failing to conduct a reasonable investigation of my dispute regarding inaccurate information on my credit report. Despite my efforts to provide documentation supporting my claim, XXXX has not corrected the erroneous information, which has adversely affected my credit score and ability to secure credit. I request the CFPB 's assistance in resolving this matter and ensuring that my consumer rights are upheld. I contacted the company at the end of XXXX to notify them of a layoff that occurred at my employer ; therefore, I was laid off and called to exercise my credit protection plan that I paid into monthly. Today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I called to ask why I am showing as delinquent and I was told that my account was closed in XXXX ; however, this information was never disclosed to me and my credit report is not showing closed, it is showing open/delinquent. I asked the account manager, XXXX to please reverse this delinquent as this should not be reflected and is an inaccuracy on my credit. He advised me that despite exercising my credit protection plan, he did not see any payment from the XXXX party vendor and they sent my account to collections. I advised that I had not received any notification of a collection and I want it pulled back or removed from the credit agency as no written notice has been received and they are passed the timeframe to notify me of an intent to collect. I am extremely dissatisfied with how my account was mismanaged, I paid for a service and did not receive it. I plan to seek litigation against all parties unless this item is completely deleted from my credit. I want a letter emailed to me within XXXX business days : ( XXXX ) on company letterhead stating that this account is no longer in delinquency and the matter has been resolved. Thank you for your attention to this issue.

Complaint narrative:
I apologize in advance if I didn't categorize this quite correctly - I couldn't find a great fit for the complaint. That said, I see that XXXX  companies were regulated to provide some buyer protections recently. I recently bought something online using Afterpay- the product was faulty and I was in touch with the company directly. This dragged on for two weeks with them refusing to ship the item back to them even though their website states they will cover shipping for faulty products. After two weeks emailing I tried to call this company - the phone number they list does not actually work. After realizing they were not going to help me I reached out to Afterpay, informing them of the issue and telling them they should look further into the vendor as they have lots of negative reviews, fake XXXX XXXX, fake phone number, and asking them to help me so I don't have to pay for a faulty product. They told me multiple times to reach out to the merchant. I emailed with them for another week or so and after telling them they need to pause payments and investigate the issue per CFPB they said it was thoroughly investigated and not to reach back out about it. I am positive this is not the case or they would have realized the company may be a scam, and seen that the merchant will not honor what their website states. I should have done my research to realize XXXX is far inferior in protections to a credit card and feel that if they are going to continue on they should be held to a higher standard of buyer protection.
