Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
My issue : I'm trying to create an online account to freeze my credit. Your system keeps telling me it can't verify my identity online and to call in. Your automated phone system then tells me it can't verify my identity via phone and to log in online. I'm also trying to get a fraud alert put on my credit as XXXX has been misreporting someone else 's credit to my social. 

This has been going on for a week now. Today alone, I spent three hours in the automated phone system trying to get to something that would allow me to either verify my identity or speak to an agent. I finally made it past the automated phone system into a queue for an agent. Waited on hold for XXXX minutes for an agent to pick up. When an agent finally did pickup, they barely listened to my explanation of the issue before telling me it was the wrong department and he'd have to transfer me. His transfer? Put me back in the automated system. Only for that system to then hang up on me because it was " outside normal business hours '' -- because I'd been bouncing around in the automated system for four hours.

I've got five different numbers that all land me in the same automated system ( and most of these were found by searching the internet for a number -- Experian doesn't have a published number anywhere that I could find ). I've been able to get an agent exactly once.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX charged off my installment loan, but they continue to report increasing balances, past due amounts, and monthly activity well into 2025. The account is closed, but the tradeline reflects ongoing delinquency and balance updates, which is inaccurate and unlawful under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ). No payments have been made, yet the balance keeps changing and they continue to report false past-due status. This is a clear case of re-aging and misrepresentation that is harming my credit.

I am demanding : Immediate deletion of this tradeline from all credit reporting agencies Compensation in the amount of {$2000.00} for credit damage, emotional distress, and violations of consumer protection laws A clear acknowledgment that I will not sign any release, NDA, or non-disparagement clause Under FDCPA 808 ( 6 ), it is unlawful to require a consumer to waive their rights as a condition of resolution. I fully retain my right to pursue legal, public, and regulatory remedies under the FCRA and all applicable laws.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: Maximus Federal Services, Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the legitimacy of my student loan obligations. Due to serious legal violations and breaches of federal privacy laws, including the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ( FERPA ), the Privacy Act of 1974, and the Higher Education Act, I demand the immediate cancellation of all financial obligations related to these debts.

It has come to my attention that my personal educational and financial information has been improperly accessed by unauthorized third parties, including Elon Musk/DOGE or affilia entities. This unauthorized access constitutes a gross violation of my federal privacy rights and nullifies any enforceable loan agreements under federal law.

Legal Grounds for Discharge : 1. FERPA Violation : The exposure of my educational records without my express written consent is a direct breach of FERPA, which mandates the protection of personally identifiable information. 

2. Violation of the Privacy Act of 1974 : The mishandling and unauthorized disclosure of my personal information contravenes federal requirements that safeguard the privacy of individuals ' data managed by federal agencies and contractors.

3. Breach of the Higher Education Act : The Higher Education Act requires servicers to maintain strict confidentiality and compliance in loan transfers. The transfer of my loan to Advantage and subsequent data breaches demonstrate clear negligence.

4. Breach of Contract and Data Security Obligations : By failing to protect my sensitive information, Advantage have breached contractual terms and obligations, rendering these debts unenforceable.
