Complaint:
The Privacy Act of 1974 ( 5 U.S.C. 552a ) outlines the requirement to provide notice to individuals in cases where personal information is being collected. In my case, the authority for collecting my information is 451 et seq. of the Higher Education Act ( HEA ) of 1965, as amended ( 20 U.S.C. 1087a et seq. ), and the authorities for collecting and using my Social Security Number ( SSN ) are 428B ( f ) and 484 ( a ) ( 4 ) of the HEA ( 20 U.S.C. 1078-2 ( f ) and 1091 ( a ) ( 4 ) ), as well as 31 U.S.C. 7701 ( b ). I understand that participating in the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan ( Direct Loan ) Program and providing my SSN are voluntary, but the requested information, including my SSN, must be provided to participate. 

The principal purposes for collecting my information, including my SSN, as stated in the Privacy Act notice, are to verify my identity, determine my eligibility for loans or loan benefits under the Direct Loan Program, service my loan ( s ), and, if necessary, locate me and report on my loan ( s ) in the event of delinquency or default. My SSN is also used as an account identifier and to grant me electronic access to my account information. 

Despite having followed the required procedures and submitted my 1099-C ( Cancellation of Debt ) form, I have yet to receive any response or resolution to my concerns. This lack of response and engagement in addressing my issue is causing significant distress and hindrance to my financial well-being. I kindly request that you promptly acknowledge my previous submissions and initiate a resolution process to address the issues at hand. 

I believe that my rights under the Privacy Act and other federal and state constitutions are being infringed upon by the continued reporting of my student loan information to credit bureaus. I am eager to work with your office to resolve these concerns in a mutually beneficial manner. Please treat this matter with the utmost urgency and priority, as it affects my personal financial situation and rights. 

I look forward to receiving your response at your earliest convenience.

Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX I was made aware of a collection notice for a company called IC Solutions. This company stated that I owed a bill of {$210.00} to XXXX from XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. I called XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ), and I was transferred to young man named XXXX who found my account, could see where I turned in my equipment on XX/XX/XXXX ( I have this receipt ) at the local branch. He stated that he could see my last payment on XX/XX/XXXX for the period ending XX/XX/XXXX, and stated that I should have been billed a pro-rated amount from XXXX. XXXX also stated that he did not have the authority to credit that amount and that he would escalate to his supervisor that would call me back before XX/XX/XXXX. After receiving no phone call, I called back on XX/XX/XXXX and was escalated to the complaint department, they then told me that they could not credit me and that IC Solutions had to do so. They also stated that IC Solutions had all of the account information. On XX/XX/XXXX I called IC Solutions who then told me that they had to get the information from XXXX and that they would open an investigation. On XX/XX/XXXX I filed a complaint with the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. That complaint was answered with a mailing from IC Solutions with statements from XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. The two months following my equipment turn-in, and cancellation of service. I did not have a contract, and was billed for services not rendered. This is fraudulent billing, and it is being reported to the credit agencies, which is a violation of the FCRA. I have documentation showing that I turned in my equipment and cancelled my service XX/XX/XXXX and was billed the following two months. If you look at XXXX  there are countless complaints of IC Solutions reporting inaccurate information to the credit reporting agencies. I have attached documents that include my receipt for picking up and returning my equipment, payment on my last bill and emails from XXXX for coming into the branch and returning my equipment, and an email from a phone call made after I paid my payment thru XX/XX/XXXX. on this call I was told that I would receive a pro-rated bill for XXXX. This bill also shows that I was billed for XXXX and part of XXXX.

Complaint:
I am in North Carolina identifying site for new center that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX. I was referred to a business banker, we spoke and seemed polite, provided link to upload, and then I had an appointment the following Wednesday. I followed up on the Monday prior to ensure no new information needed as I have an urgent RFP I'd like to submit and need new banking for compliance. She stated she would not be meeting with me or opening an account, no details. Also claimed she called me, I had no voicemails until I escalated the matter. I pressed on reasoning why, she just kept stating 'I was a fraud '. I asked repeatedly what specific concerns so I could address, she finally stated due to out of state DL ( I'm evaluating the area to open another site, of course I'm from out of the area - expires in 2030 ) but she refused. I asked to be escalated, following Wednesday the bank manager called to inform me during due diligence they noted the business registration had been dissolved ( I had advised of the clerical error in XXXX and that was already resolved, and had include certificate of good standing with my documents submitted, proactively and included these details in my initial communication. ) But he was the first person to tell me that was 'their ' reason ( although by time banking was being opened, it was resolved, hence certificate of good standing ) and then went on to say, " we wouldn't be a good fit for their 'conservative " bank ''. As a minority business woman, I can only read this one way. I've since found out, this is common practice in this region and why so few women have been successful in their ventures, I also know they have pending internal discrimination case. I would not give them my business, regardless, but someone has to take a stand to balance these scales, as this is one of the known barriers. I've successfully launched many operations in my career, even working for XXXX XXXX at one point, I know what I experienced violated my rights, not every women striving for a better life may be aware. I am filing this complaint so we get to root of these issues and find common ground, as this is humiliating and holding us all back.
