XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Florida, XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IA XXXX Subject : Formal Complaint XXXX XXXX Department of Education for Inaccurate Reporting of Late Payments on Student Loan Account To Whom It May Concern, This complaint is filed regarding the inaccurate reporting of late payments on my student loan account by the US Department of Education ( US DEPT ED ) across the three major credit bureaus ( TransUnion, XXXX, and XXXX ) XXXX This is the second formal dispute, as my first dispute, filed on XX/XX/XXXX, failed to yield any corrective action. 
Summary of Errors : Different Account Numbers : The account numbers reported by TransUnion and XXXX do not match, causing further inconsistencies. 
Inconsistent Account Rating : TransUnion reports the account as " Closed, '' while XXXX lists it as " Paid. '' Missing Closing Date : XXXX has not provided a closing date for the account, making it unclear when the account was finalized. 
Inconsistent Creditor Remarks : TransUnion includes remarks indicating the account is " Closed, '' while XXXX does not provide any such remarks, adding to the lack of clarity and accuracy. 
These discrepancies, along with the erroneous late payment entries, highlight a significant failure to ensure accurate reporting and adherence to federal regulations.

3. Defamation and Emotional Distress : The erroneous reporting has caused significant harm to my reputation and mental well-being, amounting to defamation.
