Complaint narrative:
Subject : Complaint Regarding Unauthorized Collection and Use of Financial Data by XXXX Musk-Associated Entities Dear CFPB, I am submitting this complaint to report the unauthorized and potentially illegal collection of my personal and financial data by entities associated with XXXX Musk XXXX XXXX but not limited to companies such as X ( formerly XXXX ) XXXX XXXX, XXXX others under his control ( DOGE ). 

I have reason to believe that my private financial information has been accessed, shared, or used without my consent or proper legal justification. This data breach has caused significant distress, including concerns over identity theft, invasion of privacy, and financial exploitation. I suspect that this unauthorized data collection may have contributed to or worsened my current financial situation, including debt and outstanding loans.

Given the severity of this situation, I am requesting a formal investigation into these practices and am seeking relief in the form of loan forgiveness, as the illegitimate use of my data may have contributed to unjust financial obligations.

I am prepared to provide further documentation or details upon request. Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing the unauthorized access and deletion of my student loan data as reported in the XXXX XXXX article titled " Musk and XXXX : Did XXXX Breach Student Loan Contracts?

The report raises alarming concerns regarding potential violations of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ( FERPA ) due to unauthorized access and tampering with student loan records.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Amsher Collection Services, Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
recently reviewed my credit report and discovered a debt being reported by Contract Callers that I do not recognize or owe. I have never had any prior dealings with the original creditor, nor do I have any records of the debt in question. I have not received any communication from Contract Callers regarding this debt, and no validation of the debt has been provided to me. 

In XX/XX/year>, I noticed this debt listed on my credit report and immediately took steps to dispute it. Given that I have no knowledge of this debt or any related transactions, I believe this may be a case of mistaken identity or fraud. I have since filed a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) regarding this matter.

I request that Contract Callers cease all communication unless they can provide full validation of the debt, including an assignment contract proving their legal right to collect.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to follow up on my previous request for an investigation into the inaccuracies on my credit report, which I initially submitted in XX/XX/XXXX. As of today, I have not received any response from your office, and the incorrect information remains on my report, continuing to harm my credit. This lack of action is both concerning and unacceptable. 

For your reference, the inaccuracies I outlined in my original letter are as follows : - XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX Balance : {$17000.00} Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX - XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance : {$0.00} Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX - XXXX  XXXX XXXX Balance : {$2900.00} Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX - XXXX XXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) XXXX Balance : {$580.00} Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX PLEASE REMOVE ALL THE INACCURATE ACCOUNTS MENTIONED ABOVE. 

I kindly request that this matter be promptly solved by TRANSUNION. 

As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit bureaus are required to investigate disputes within XXXX  days of receiving a formal request. More than XXXX  days have passed, and I have yet to receive any resolution, confirmation of investigation, or update on this matter. The continued presence of this inaccurate information has severely impacted my creditworthiness and has caused denial of credit, increased interest rates, or emotional distress. This delay undermines the confidence I should have in the integrity and efficiency of the processes.
