Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!

Company: Maximus Federal Services, Inc.
State: NM

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this formal complaint regarding multiple federal student loan accounts reported by the U.S. Department of Education and Nelnet Loan Servicing which are currently listed as collection accounts on my credit reports with XXXX and XXXX. These accounts date back to activity from XXXX, and have not reflected any updated or accurate reporting. 
I was not notified in a timely or lawful manner of any default status or transfer to collections, in violation of 20 U.S. Code 1080a and 20 U.S. Code 1087e ( a ) ( 1 ), which require the Secretary and loan servicers to ensure proper due process and timely borrower communication. 
Additionally, these tradelines are being reported with derogatory status despite the lack of recent activity, which may violate the FCRA, 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), which prohibits the furnishing of information known to be inaccurate or outdated, and 1681i, which obligates furnishers and CRAs to investigate disputed items thoroughly. 
Furthermore, the redundant appearance of similar loans ( with overlapping balances and identical creditors ) suggests duplicate reporting, which can artificially deflate my credit scores, creating harm that is not legally justifiable under 1681e ( b ), which mandates reasonable procedures for maximum possible accuracy. 
Due to this inaccurate and harmful reporting, I have experienced loss of job opportunities, denials for housing, and emotional distress tied to financial exclusion. These accounts have continued to damage my economic stability and infringe on my rights under federal consumer protection law.

You have reported inaccurate and unauthorized accounts on my credit report, which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) requiring a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates maximum possible accuracy.

If this is the case, I demand a full disclosure of all transactions related to this alleged account, including the sale, securitization, and any profits generated from it. 
To validate this alleged debt, I require the following documentation : Proof of Ownership A signed contract between myself and the original creditor proving that I agreed to this debt under the terms you are attempting to collect. Without my explicit consent, no debt obligation exists.

Original Creditor Agreement A complete copy of the original contract, including the terms and conditions that apply to this alleged debt. If the original agreement contains an arbitration clause, then the proper venue for dispute resolution is arbitrationnot third-party debt collection. 
Full Accounting Records A detailed, itemized breakdown of the alleged debt, including principal, interest, fees, and all transactions associated with this account.

Proof of Lawful Collection Authority Evidence that your company is legally licensed to collect debts in my state and that my private information was lawfully transferred to your agency under 15 U.S.C.

1692b ( 2 ), which prohibits unauthorized disclosure of consumer financial details.

Until you provide all of the above-requested documentation, I do not recognize any obligation to this alleged debt.
