Complaint narrative:
I am listing accounts and inquiries below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit.

I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts and inquiries has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Complaint narrative:
The existence of a derogatory rating on my account is causing me significant concern. I am deeply worried about its potential impact on my credit. It has already resulted in the denial of a recent loan application and an increase in the interest rates on my existing credit accounts. I want to emphasize the severe financial and emotional distress that this negative rating has caused me and will continue to cause until it is resolved.

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Reporting Agencies play a crucial role in gathering and assessing consumer credit information. However, they must exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. The banking system relies on accurate and fair credit reporting, and when these reporting methods are unfair, it undermines public trust, which is vital for the system 's stability. I never gave my explicit, written consent for these agencies to report my information, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ). This violation has led to an alleged case of identity theft, breaching 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. The accounts in question are not related to any transactions made by me.

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act was created to ensure that laws and procedures are in place to protect consumers from abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices by debt collectors. In this case, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692f, which prohibits debt collectors from using unfair or unconscionable means to collect a debt. Specifically, they can not collect any amounts that arent explicitly authorized by the agreement or allowed by law. Additionally, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692e, which prohibits the use of false, deceptive, or misleading representations in debt collection efforts. This includes using deceptive methods to collect a debt or gather consumer information. Moreover, they are forbidden from contacting consumers at inconvenient times or places, or engaging in behavior that harasses or abuses consumers.

In this case, the company has harassed me by claiming I owe a debt that I do not recognize as my responsibility. They have also contacted me at inconvenient times and places, in violation of the law.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint due to a serious breach of my personal and financial information by Aidvantage ( my XXXX XXXX servicer ) and the reporting of unauthorized personal information on my credit reports from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, and XXXX XXXX. 

Description of the Issue : Since early 2025, I have been experiencing ongoing issues with my XXXX XXXX  security and unauthorized credit reporting errors. Upon reviewing my credit reports, I discovered multiple unauthorized and inaccurate pieces of personal information, including : Incorrect addresses and phone numbers Unauthorized employment records Fraudulent accounts or misattributed debts I have never authorized these changes, and my personal data has been compromised without my consent. These errors have directly impacted my consumer profile, financial standing, and personal security. 

Breach of XXXX XXXX  Security ( FERPA Violation by Aidvantage ) : As my XXXX XXXX XXXX  servicer, Aidvantage is legally required to protect my personal and financial records under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ( FERPA ) ( 20 U.S.C. 1232g ; 34 CFR Part 99 ). However, due to their failure to safeguard my records, my student loan information has been compromised, putting me at risk of identity theft and fraud.

Actions Taken : Since early 2025, I have repeatedly contacted Aidvantage and my credit bureaus to correct these errors. 
I formally disputed the inaccurate information with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX, but no corrections have been made. 
I demanded validation from Aidvantage regarding their handling of my student loan records, but no clear response has been provided. 
Despite my efforts, the issue remains unresolved, and my privacy and financial security continue to be at risk.

Company: Global Lending Services LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX XXXX XXXX Global Lending Services LLC XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, SC XXXX Subject : Legal Action for Violation of Cease and Desist Request & Demand for Account Closure Account # XXXX To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally notify you that Global Lending Services has willfully violated my cease and desist request by continuing to send billing statements regarding my account # XXXX. Specifically, on XX/XX/XXXX, I received a bill for {$2200.00}, despite my prior written request for all communication to cease under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692c ( c ). 
As you are aware, under the FDCPA, once a debtor requests that a debt collector cease communication, the collector must comply, except for limited circumstances such as confirming receipt of the request or notifying the debtor of legal action. Sending me a bill constitutes continued collection activity, which is a direct violation of federal law. 
Furthermore, your continued attempts to collect this disputed debt may also violate 15 U.S.C. 1692e, which prohibits false or misleading representations in debt collection, as well as 15 U.S.C. 1692f, which bars unfair practices. Given the inconsistencies in the amounts reported on my account, these continued collection efforts could be considered deceptive. Case law, including XXXX XXXX XXXX v. XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ), has upheld that continued collection attempts after a cease and desist request constitute actionable violations of the FDCPA.
