The Fair Credit Reporting Act governs what credit bureaus can report and for how long including bank credit card accounts.  The Fair Credit Reporting Act holds credit reporting agencies responsible for correcting inaccurate information in credit reporting.  Companies such as credit card companies that give information to the credit reporting agencies are required by the Act to provide accurate information.  The Act limits disclosure of consumer credit reports only to entities with specified purpose.  The Act requires credit reporting agencies to provide information contained in their credit report, and verify accuracy of any information disputed by the consumer.  Credit reporting agencies must allow consumers a free copy of their credit report every 12 months, if requested.  Credit reporting agencies must investigate and settle any disputes within 90 days.
