Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally report an issue of identity theft related to a student loan that has been fraudulently attributed to my name. Despite multiple attempts to resolve this matter, Sallie Mae has failed to provide the necessary proof of my signature or ownership of this loan. 

Since 2021, I first contacted Sallie Mae to dispute the debt which has been falsely added to my credit report. Since then, I have made repeated requests for documentation verifying my ownership of the loan. Sallie Mae has not provided any satisfactory evidence to prove that I signed for or own this student loan. 

The actions taken by Sallie Mae have had a profound impact on my credit and livelihood. The unwarranted debt has resulted in significant financial stress and has violated my rights. As such, I urgently request that Sallie Mae remove this fraudulent debt from my credit report immediately. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Please confirm the removal of this debt and provide any additional steps required to resolve this situation. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: Maximus Federal Services, Inc.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint against Aidvantage, my student loan servicer, for engaging in deceptive and unfair practices regarding my loan repayment status and their failure to provide adequate customer service. 

Aidvantage informed me that my student loan payment was on hold while we worked toward an agreement regarding either a payment plan or possible loan forgiveness. However, despite these assurances, I recently discovered that Aidvantage had falsely reported my account as delinquent to the credit bureaus, causing unnecessary harm to my credit score. 

Upon learning of this discrepancy, I made multiple attempts over several days to contact Aidvantage to resolve the issue. My experiences were as follows : Phone calls unanswered : I attempted numerous calls, but could only get through once, and even then, I was met with a loud, unbearable ringing sound that made communication impossible. 
No call-backs : I scheduled multiple call-backs, none of which were ever received. 
On-hold disconnections : I spent extended periods waiting on hold, only to have the calls eventually disconnect without speaking to anyone. 
These issues indicate an intentional failure to provide support, making it nearly impossible for borrowers to resolve critical issues that affect their financial well-being. 

Requested Action I request that the CFPB investigate Aidvantage for : Falsely reporting my account as delinquent despite an agreed-upon hold. 
Implementing obstructive customer service practices that prevent borrowers from resolving disputes. 
Failure to provide clear and accurate communication regarding repayment terms. 
I demand that Aidvantage immediately remove the delinquency from my credit report, confirm the correction in writing, and ensure that borrowers receive fair and transparent communication. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this serious matter. Please confirm receipt of this complaint and provide updates on any actions taken.
