Complaint narrative:
I have the right to privacy as a federally protected consumer. I do not consent to E-Oscar verification XXXX Federal Student Aid is making fraudulent claims that I owe them money. I've never had a contractual obligation with XXXX. I don't know who XXXX is and what a private company has to do with student loans. I believe that my student loans have been discharged Dept of Education sold my loan services to XXXX for pennies on a dollar. Now they are trying to bully me into paying them. These are deceptive debt collection practices according to the FDCPA and TILA. I've already sent them a 1099c. can you please tell me how my 1099c is fraudulent? Also all student loans have been forgiven. The document XXXX sent me clearly says that XXXX doesn't have any affiliates!!!!! 

also don't ask me to fill out a fraudulent form and make XXXX look like the nice guy. You are a fraud, i don't have to fill out anything. so get off my back!!!!

If Consumer reporting agency can not share information without written permission, so how did lexus nexus, sage stream, early warning get my Information? Also when they go it, who gave them permission to share it with a consumer reporting agency?

Please stop sharing my information with 3rd party sources such as XXXX XXXX, Sage Stream, XXXX XXXX XXXX, they don't have my permission to furnish my information. if they have permission please give me the law. the law clearly states that they MAY share but that doesn't mean they don't have to. since I the consumer don't give permission. 
furthermore, congress says " except as provided in paragraph ( XXXX ) the term consumer report does not include report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences. '' So what is a payment History? It is a transaction, My transactions are excluded. so where does a late payment come from? so to summarize reporting of a late payment is illegal.
