I sent a PFD request to a CA, because the CA placed a collection on my CR. The CA responded in writing as if it were a validation request. The writing contained the OC, a file number, amount and that it was applied by the health insurance carrier as a deductible (doesn’t sound right, but that part seems irrelevant). The letter concludes that a copy of the explanation of benefits from the OC was requested and when it is received, the CA will forward it to me.
Â
Since then I contacted the CA with regard to the PFD request and he seems to be dragging his feet. Although he won’t conclusively refuse to sign the PFD, I do not expect him to at this point.
Â
My question relates to the verification request. Since the CA took it as a validation request originally, is he still required to provide validation within a specific period of time (30 days IIRC)? Does the original letter contain the requisite information? And, If not, can I have this removed from my CR if he fails to validate?Â

I received this letter on July 13.

Any input is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
