Subject : Reporting Privacy Violations and Inaccurate Credit Reporting by XXXX writing to report serious privacy violations and inaccurate credit reporting by XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) regarding my student loan account. The issues began when the servicer was changed from XXXX to XXXX, not only reporting more inaccuracies but accounting information that was disputed prior and when I discovered that XXXX had been reporting my accounting information in a manner that violates the Privacy Act of 1974 and infringes upon the protections afforded by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ( FERPA ). Sensitive financial and educational data related to my student loan account has been disclosed to unauthorized parties without my consent. 

Furthermore, despite regulatory requirements, XXXX has failed to provide me with the monthly opt-out option, as mandated by 16 CFR 313.15. This failure to comply with regulatory mandates deprives me of the ability to control the dissemination of my personal information and raises concerns about XXXX 's commitment to consumer privacy and transparency. 

I have taken several actions to address these issues : XXXX. XXXX : Discovered unauthorized disclosure of sensitive financial and educational data by XXXX. 
XXXX : Contacted XXXX to inquire about the unauthorized disclosure and request an explanation. 
XXXX. XXXX : Submitted a formal complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) regarding XXXXXXXX XXXX privacy violations and failure to provide the opt-out option. 
XXXX. XXXX : Notified all major credit bureaus of the inaccuracies in my credit report caused by XXXXXXXX XXXX erroneous reporting. 
XXXX. XXXX : Submitted a 1099-C form to the IRS for cancellation of debt related to my student loan account, which should reflect in my account status. 

Despite these actions, the privacy violations persist, and XXXXXXXX XXXX inaccurate credit reporting continues to negatively impact my creditworthiness.

I am aware that, in spite of the precise data that customers have provided, you have been using pre-written standard form letters in your responses to a large number of disputes, complaints, and challenges. I am fully aware that this is illegal because every customer complaint needs to be considered on its own merits and handled accordingly.

Everyone can use the accessible software that I used to write and generate my letters. Should you decide not to respond to or handle my correspondence, you are in violation of 15 U.S. Code 5 1681i. Furthermore, it is illegal to postpone answering customer letters on the grounds that help from a third party might be possible. There isn't a legal exemption to this. I am the sole author of any letters bearing my name, or they have been written by my advisors with my complete knowledge and consent. I understand that there is no requirement for you to request a Power of Attorney in order to delay processing consumer letters. If you fail to process my letters promptly, I will consider it as a deliberate disregard for my consumer rights. In such a case, I will be compelled to contact my attorney and pursue legal action.
