Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (MI)

Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding a matter of great concern related to my Department of EducationXXXX XXXX account. It has come to my attention that there are potential violations of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ( FERPA ), the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and the Privacy Act of 1974.

I believe that the Department of Education and XXXX, the loan servicer, may have violated my rights under these federal statutes. FERPA applies to any public or private elementary, secondary, or post-secondary school, as outlined in 20 U.S.C. 1232g ( b ). The FCRA, found in 15 U.S.C. 1681, regulates the collection, dissemination, and use of consumer credit information. Additionally, the Privacy Act of 1974, codified in 5 U.S.C. 552a, safeguards the privacy of individuals ' personal information held by federal agencies. 

I am particularly concerned about the recent practice of XXXX reposting transaction history to my credit report. This unauthorized reposting of transaction history has had a significant impact on my credit standing, and I believe it constitutes a violation of the FCRA and FERPA.

Despite my efforts to address these concerns directly with the Department of EducationXXXX XXXX XXXX have encountered significant challenges in obtaining a satisfactory resolution. 

I am seeking the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau 's intervention to investigate these alleged violations thoroughly and ensure that my rights are protected and upheld under FERPA, FCRA, and the Privacy Act. I believe that a comprehensive review of the matter will shed light on the potential breaches and facilitate a resolution.

Enclosed with this letter, you will find copies of relevant documents of my credit score.

I kindly request that you conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and take appropriate action to address any identified violations under FERPA, FCRA, and the Privacy Act.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue. I look forward to a resolution that ensures the protection of my rights under these important federal statutes.

I signed up on Chase 's website to be enrolled in automatic monthly paymentson my Chase credit card.

I called Chase immediately to rectify the situation and spoke to XXXXdifferent staff members who informed me that due to the rules I would have toowe the interest for the time that passed due to the {$25.00} minimum payment. Ifeel that Chase purposely had misleading and confusing wording on " minimumbalance '' for the automatic bill payment so that customers would make thiskind of mistake and they could collect the interest. I have almost always paidmy statement balance in full by the deadline and have an excellent credit rating.

My credit score went down between 54-64 points across all 3 credit bureaus when the U.S. Dept of Education/XXXX reported a remark on my account of Payment Deferred. My account was in good standing and payments made on time. Due to a change in my finances thanks to covid-19, I took advantage of being able to defer my loan payments. Per the  CARES Act if I qualified for deferment AND was in good standing, my account would not be negatively impacted, and my account would continue to be reported as current and up to date.
