I understand the importance of maintaining accurate credit information and the role of your agency in ensuring the integrity of credit reports. As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), consumers have the right to dispute inaccurate or fraudulent information on their credit reports, and credit reporting agencies are obligated to investigate and correct any inaccuracies promptly.

I expect a written response within XXXX  days, in accordance with the FCRA, detailing the results of your investigation and the actions taken to correct the inaccuracies.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (OH)

I noticed on my credit report that I owe {$29.00} to Comenity bank. This showed up in XXXX. I have no idea what it is. I can not get a copy of a bill or get any information from the company regarding the amount. most credit card companies send a bill I have no bill. I don't know what this is in the meantime it's gone from $ XXXX {$59.00} to I believe today I saw it's {$100.00}, I don't know how interest goes up that fast but anyway, I pay much larger credit card bills monthly but for some reason nobody can tell me what this is. I disputed this with XXXX and they say it's legitimate and the only way to reach the commodity for this problem is via letter - a XXXX XXXX XXXX in this day of age I find that very strange. I don't have any idea what this is I don't see why it's so hard for somebody to talk to me on the phone. I called XXXX 's number and it's automated you can't talk to a live person. I want get this resolved it's not helping my credit report and obviously if I owe {$29.00} I would pay it it's ridiculous and frustrating. I filed another dispute stating I did not know what the amount is for. I guess the creditors get all that or the alleged creditors get all the support. I really feel this is a scam.

Ive sent in an email to resolve the problem and still nothing.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke with a XXXX representative as he stated that the issue was made in error on their end, and that the balance was cleared ; all after I asked to have the bank involved in the conversation to provide the additional information. After several attempts to get the issue resolved, the XXXX representative never waived the amount off as promised, while still stating that I owe the paid amount. Customer service was very rude and never showed any interest on resolving the issue, as this isnt the forest time this happened to me.

Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY (TX)

Nordstom/TD Bank is in violation of the FCRA 623. On XX/XX/XXXX, I put them on notice in regard to the errors in their reporting. This letter was sent via USPS priority mail. As of today, XX/XX/XXXX, I have yet to receive a response and the errors are still reported. 

The account with was opened in XXXX. TD Bank does not start reporting of the account 's payment history until the first delinquency event. This means all positive payment history prior to the late payment is not reported. This is a violation of the FCRA as the account must reflect accurate and COMPLETE information. I find it suspicious that the creditor can report any negative history, but for dates on which payments were made on time, it is reported as " no data available '' even if those on-time payments occurred in the same year as late payments. 

Additionally, TD Bank is reporting two accounts that are the same account but have different account numbers. Last week, I spoke to a representative in the credit department that stated that they were the exact same account. The second account is reporting positively to the credit file but is also reporting a balance that I do not owe. This information is inaccurate and despite my calls, and disputes through XXXX as well as my dispute directly to this creditor under FCRA 623, my rights have continued to be violated. 

The creditor had 30 days to respond to my FCRA 623 dispute and failed to do so. The law is clear in that they are required to delete the account under federal law. Clearly, that time has surpassed. I have attached the original letter sent to the address listed in my credit file.
