The urgency of this matter is heightened by the fact that President Biden 's directives mandate the refunding of any forgiven student loan amounts to the student. The reporting inaccuracies hinder my ability to benefit fully from this relief, as the loans should be accurately reflected as " Paid in Full.

The impact of these violations on my creditworthiness and financial standing necessitates a prompt resolution. Additionally, as per applicable laws, I am entitled to compensation for any and all violations.
