Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
A collection account is being reported on my credit file that has not been properly validated. I exercised my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) by requesting validation of the alleged debt. The furnisher failed to provide any legitimate documentation proving that the debt is mine, that the amount is accurate, or that they have the legal authority to collect it. 
Despite the lack of verification, this account continues to appear on my credit report, which constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) requiring only accurate and verifiable information to be reported. The continued reporting of an unvalidated account is inaccurate and misleading.

I am filing a formal complaint under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and 15 U.S.C. 1681c2.

Complaint narrative:
I am a hardworking individual has been diligently paying my accounts on time for the quite a long time. However, upon reviewing my credit report, I discover several instances of late payments recorded by these creditors. Perplexed by this discrepancy, I contacted these creditors to inquire about the inaccuracies. After discussing the matter with a customer service representative and the billing department, it becomes evident that there was a mutual agreement between me and these creditors to adjust the payment schedule due to unforeseen circumstances. Despite adhering to this adjusted schedule, the payments were mistakenly marked as late in the system. Understanding the gravity of the situation, these creditors swiftly acknowledge the error and assures me that the inaccurate late payments will be rectified. Additionally, they offer to provide written documentation of the agreed-upon payment schedule to prevent any future misunderstandings.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this additional claim because Bank of America falsely stated to the CFPB that they are working on my issue when no progress or written response has been provided. I deposited a signature-based draft from The XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year>, and according to my deposit receipt, funds were to be available on XX/XX/year>. However, the date was later changed to XX/XX/year>, without explanation. 

In contrast, another draft from the same issuing XXXX XXXX, deposited Saturday ( XX/XX/year> ), cleared first which makes no logical or regulatory sense. This inconsistency demonstrates a failure to follow Regulation CC ( 12 CFR Part 229 ) and Bank of Americas own Funds Availability Policy, which requires at least {$220.00} of the deposit to be made available by the next business day.

Key Issues : Bank of America has provided no written reason for the extended 5-day hold.

They misrepresented to the CFPB that they are working on the matter, yet no action or communication has been made. 

The delay violates both Regulation CC and Bank of Americas Deposit Agreement, which outlines funds availability and proper handling of verified drafts. 

The hold is discriminatory in effect and causes financial hardship, as verified funds from the same issuer cleared in less time.
