This mail was opened and exposed, resulting in the unauthorized disclosure of my Social Security number, loan details, and private data. When I contacted XXXX to investigate, your representative was unable to explain how or why that address was associated with my account. 
This is unacceptable, unlawful, and poses a serious threat to my personal safety, identity, and credit profile. It further compounds the harm already caused by the XXXX data breach, to which I am also a victim.
