Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I submitted a complaint to the CFPB regarding Portfolio Recovery Associates. While reviewing my credit report, I noticed a tradeline from this company listed as a debt buyer. In response, I submitted a Refusal to Pay Notice as a PDF attachment with my complaint. In my letter, I made it clear that : I was not requesting validation of the debt The notice did not constitute a dispute. 
My intent was solely to issue a formal refusal to pay. 

On XX/XX/year>, Portfolio Recovery Associates responded, stating they would cease communication but would also mark the account as disputed. This is inaccurate and misleading. A refusal to pay is not a dispute, nor should it be reported as such. By their own admission, the company chose to treat my refusal as a dispute and reported it to the consumer reporting agencies accordingly. This mischaracterization of my communication raises compliance concerns under the FDCPA and FCRA, as it inaccurately represents my position and misinforms the credit bureaus. 

I am attaching the companies response to my initial complaint. Along with my original refusal to pay letter that stated this is not a dispute not do I need validation. This is a simple refusal to pay notice.
