On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email notification from a credit monitoring service which is set up through my banking institution. I was notified that my Transunion credit score had dropped by many points. I then contacted Transunion several times, only to speak with reps who could not give me an explanation as to why my credit score had dropped. Each representative I spoke with, disconnected the call after I insisted that Transunion provide me with documentation explaining why my credit score dropped. I was told by a representative that the decrease in my score could be due to credit reporting from my banking institution which I have a credit card. I contacted my bank and was informed that no recent negative information had been reported to the credit bureaus since XXXX. I then called Transunion again, and no representative could explain to me why my credit score decreased. This is unethical business practices and has affected my livelihood. Credit Reporting Agencies have a duty by law to uphold but in this case, they are ignoring the laws. The explanation provided to me regarding the decrease to my credit score was " late payments reported by my banking institution. '' ... That reporting from my banking institution happened in XXXX. If this is the true cause of the decrease in my credit score, why did Transunion take 2 years to place the negative information on my report. I am asking that Transunion provide me with written explanation which gives details about any recent activity that was placed on my credit report in XXXX which caused a decrease to my score.

I am writing to file a formal complaint against the Department of Education and any associated entities regarding apparent violations of my statutory privacy rights pertaining to my federal student loan records and information. 
Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ( FERPA ) enacted in 1974, my student loan details and records maintained by the Department of Education are classified as protected education records ( 20 USC 1232g ( b ) ). As such, there are strict confidentiality requirements for handling this sensitive data. 
However, I have good reason to believe that my private student loan information has been mishandled, improperly disclosed or inaccurately reported without maintaining necessary confidentiality safeguards. This raises concerns about potential non-compliance with FERPA 's privacy mandates.

Moreover, the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) emphasizes the need for consumer reporting agencies to uphold accuracy, fairness and respect consumer privacy rights when dealing with consumer information. Specifically, section 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ) calls for " fairness, impartiality and respect for the consumer 's right to privacy. '' Given that my student loan data should be treated as a private education record under FERPA, any mishandling or improper disclosure of this information would constitute a violation of both FERPA and the Fair Credit Reporting Act 's stated purpose of ensuring proper utilization of consumer data with confidentiality ( 1681 ( b ) ).

I urge the CFPB to investigate this issue and take appropriate regulatory action against the Department of Education and/or any other entities potentially responsible for compromising the privacy and confidentiality of my protected student loan records. Safeguarding student privacy must be a paramount concern. 
Please respond with updates on how you plan to address and rectify this alleged violation of my federally-protected student privacy rights. Accountability and remediation are expected.

I am writing to file a formal complaint against the Department of Education and any associated student loan servicers for what appears to be an egregious breach of my federally-protected privacy rights related to my student loan records and data. 

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ( FERPA ) classifies student loan information held by the Department of Education as confidential education records per 20 USC 1232g ( b ). There are strict limitations on how this sensitive data can be shared or disseminated to XXXX  parties without consent. 

Despite these clear privacy safeguards, I have discovered evidence that suggests my private student loan details have been mishandled and potentially disclosed improperly by the Department and/or its servicers and contractors. This represents a serious violation of FERPA 's mandate.

Furthermore, the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) stresses the need for consumer reporting agencies to uphold accuracy, fairness, confidentiality and respect for consumer privacy rights in their activities. Section XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ) explicitly highlights " the need to ensure fairness, impartiality and respect for the consumer 's right to privacy. '' Considering my student loan information is protected as an education record under FERPA, any improper sharing, reporting or lack of confidentiality regarding this data would contravene both FERPA and the FCRA 's stated purpose in 1681 ( b ) of ensuring proper utilization with confidentiality protections. 

I demand the CFPB immediately investigate this alleged privacy breach involving my student loan records. The Department of Education and its servicers/contractors must be held accountable for any legal violations related to the safeguarding and confidential treatment of my private student data as required by FERPA and the FCRA.

Robust corrective actions and appropriate enforcement measures are expected to uphold my statutory student privacy rights. Please advise on the steps being taken to address this complaint and ensure no further privacy infractions occur. 

Thank you for your attention to this grave matter. I look forward to your response.
