Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

15 U.S.C 6802 ( a ) A financial institution may not, directly or through any affiliate, disclose to a non affiliated third party any nonpublic personal information. 15 U.S.C 6802 ( b ) ( 1 ) A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless ( A ) such financial institution clearly and conspicuously discloses to the consumer, in writing or in electronic form or other form permitted by the regulations prescribed under section 6804 of this title, that such information may be disclosed to such third party ; ( B ) the consumer is given the opportunity, before the time that such information is initially disclosed, to direct that such information not be disclosed to such third party ; and ( C ) the consumer is giv

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing the derogatory account being reported by CB/VICSCRT because the information they are furnishing appears to be inaccurate, unverifiable, and not supported by proper documentation. When I reviewed my credit reports, I noticed that CB/VICSCRT is reporting a charge-off/collection status that does not match the actual history of the account. The dates, balance information, and status being reported are inconsistent with other records, and the account does not reflect the correct closure history. 

I contacted the credit reporting agencies and disputed the CB/VICSCRT account, requesting a full reinvestigation and verification of the information. I specifically asked for documentation such as the original agreement, account history, statements, and any records used to verify the accuracy of what is being reported. However, instead of providing documentation, the bureaus responded with generic statements claiming the account was verified, without explaining how that verification was completed or supplying any proof. 

CB/VICSCRT did not provide any validation or original records supporting the negative reporting. The furnisher has not provided copies of the original contract, itemized charges, billing details, payment history, or any documentation demonstrating that the reported derogatory information is accurate. Without these records, the reporting appears to be unverifiable. 

There are also inconsistencies in how CB/VICSCRT is being reported across the different credit bureaus. The dates associated with the account, the status of the account, and the amount reported as owed differ between bureaus, which indicates that the information is not being reported consistently or accurately. If the furnishers and bureaus can not agree on the details of the same account, the information can not be considered reliable. 

Additionally, the account was not properly updated as disputed, even after I submitted formal disputes. Furnishers are required to report an account as disputed when notified, and failure to do so affects how lenders interpret the information. 

Because CB/VICSCRT has not provided validation, has reported inconsistent information, and has not demonstrated that the derogatory information is accurate or complete, I am requesting that the company and the credit bureaus conduct a proper reinvestigation using original documentation and remove the account if it can not be fully verified.
