Issue: Electronic communications — You told them to stop contacting you, but they keep trying
Company: Central Portfolio Control Inc.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I received a text from Central Portfolio Control asking about a debt that was addressed to another person. I promptly called their number, and told them I was not the person they were trying to get a hold of, and to not contact my number again. They proceeded to ask if I did know the person, and finally acknowledged that they would remove my phone number from their system. My fianc should have a recording of this interaction or at least can be listed as a witness. 

On XX/XX/year>, I received yet another text message from Central Portfolio Control asking about the debt AGAIN! I should not have to repeatedly tell a company I am not the owner of a debt, and that what they are doing is harassment.

I was alarmed to find these inaccurate late payment remarks on my credit report this morning without any explanation. As part of my routine, I reviewed my report, but this time, I noticed discrepancies that hadnt been there before. Hoping it was just a system glitch, I refreshed my browser, yet the errors persisted. Because of this, I am requesting a thorough verification of the documents I have provided so that I can put this issue behind me.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
These entries remain unverified and questionable. Despite multiple attempts to have these inaccuracies properly investigated and resolved, no meaningful action has been taken. I have submitted all required documentation and followed up repeatedly, yet the errors persist. This ongoing lack of action has caused undue financial hardship and has significantly affected my well-being. The mental and emotional toll of dealing with these unresolved discrepancies has been overwhelming. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to a fair and accurate credit report, including the removal of unverifiable or incorrect information. I urge you to take immediate steps to verify and rectify these items, as failure to do so constitutes a violation of my rights under federal law.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Don't agree with the fees charged
Company: Maximus Federal Services, Inc.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, my federal student loans were transferred from XXXX to Aidvantage. At the time, I was enrolled in the SAVE repayment plan with a $ 0 monthly payment, in good standing, and current on all payments. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email from XXXX stating that my loans would be transferred to Aidvantage on or about XX/XX/XXXX. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, the loans were transferred and were placed into administrative forbearance by Aidvantage. I did not request this forbearance, and I was not given the opportunity to opt out or to make payments during this period. No payments were required or accepted while the forbearance was active. 

The forbearance ended on XX/XX/XXXX. After the transfer, I observed that interest had accrued and been added to my account during this forced forbearance. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a formal written complaint to Aidvantage requesting a review of this interest charge and a correction to my account. I have not received a substantive response. 

As a borrower in good standing on XXXX, I should not have been penalized by interest accrual caused by an unrequested, servicer-driven forbearance. This practice undermines the protections of the XXXX plan and caused financial harm that was beyond my control.

Demand for Immediate Deletion of Student Loans Due to Department of Education Dissolution To Whom It May Concern, I am formally disputing the student loan accounts reported under my name due to material changes in federal student loan administration following the executive order issued by XXXX XXXX to abolish the U.S. Department of Education. This unprecedented action has created substantial uncertainty regarding the legitimacy, ownership, and enforceability of student loan debts that were previously under the purview of the Department of Education. 
Accounts in Dispute : [ List of Student Loan Accounts ] Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 U.S.C. 1681, you are legally required to report only accurate and verifiable information. Given the federal dissolution of the agency responsible for these loans, the chain of custody, legal authority, and servicing legitimacy of these accounts are in question. There is no verified entity authorized to validate, collect, or report these debts.

# # # Legal Basis for Immediate Deletion : 1. Lack of Credible Verification With the dissolution of the Department of Education, there is no legally valid entity that can verify the accuracy, ownership, or collection rights of these loans.

2. Material Change in Federal Oversight The entity responsible for these loans no longer exists, rendering past reporting structures invalid.

3. Potential Violations of the FCRA Reporting unverifiable debts is a direct violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) and 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ).

Please provide me with a written response confirming the removal of these accounts within 30 days as required by law. Failure to comply will result in further action.
