Complaint narrative:
Multiple tradeline-credit reports of the same student loan disbursement by two or more loan servicers [ =tradeline reporters ] are unlawful being duplicate reports of one loan by one-and-the-same lender ( here, XXXX XXXX XXXX ). That is, it is unlawful for one lender, XXXX XXXX XXXX, to duplicate credit report the same loan simultaneously through more than one of XXXX XXXX XXXX subordinate/agent loan servicers, here, coincidental credit reports of one loan by both XXXX and XXXX XXXX. The lender for my federal student loans, legally distinct from mere loan servicer, is identified for each of my federal student loans in the National Student Loan Data System ( hereinafter, NSLDS, respective loan photocopy record pdf attached ). Duplicate loan reports by a single lender, XXXX XXXX XXXX, are unlawful because duplicate loan reports double/more-than-double borrowers credit-reported-debt for each loan duplicated in the borrowers credit report. The borrower is not liable to pay unlawful duplicate-credit-reported debt, but said illegal duplicate report materially adversely impacts said borrowers credit worthiness ( higher interest rates, less favorable loan terms, etc. ), and lowers credit score. In my case, duplicate/triplicate-loan-servicers ( s ) -reported student loan debts make it impossible for me to obtain even minimal new credit from any bank/lender, i.e. despite no adverse credit act in my life, and middle class US-government-paid income, I am denied any new credit. Reproduced below are the duplicate reports by XXXX ( prepayment loan servicer, i.e. no payment was owed to XXXX/no payment was made to XXXX ) and XXXX XXXX ( hereinafter, XXXX, current loan servicer, to which repayment installments are made monthly ) of same disbursement/student loan reported in my most recent, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, Experian and XXXX ( hereinafter, Credit Reporting Agencies or CRAs ) Credit Reports : ( See two tradeline pdfs attached from XXXX and XXXX. ) It is evident from these two tradeline-reports within one CRA credit report for the same {$20000.00} student loan disbursement, that my actual legal liability ( now after 76 monthly payments to XXXX ) on said loan is less than {$11000.00} ( 3 payments through XX/XX/XXXX, not shown ). Nonetheless, XXXX, a former servicer/never lender not owed any payment, illegally duplicate reports this one XX/XX/XXXX student loan, so my credit report currently reflects more than {$31000.00} debt for said one loan, more than {$20000.00} of which is XXXX fictitious unlawful duplicate reported debt I do not now/never owed. 
I have repeatedly disputed said unlawful duplicate reporting of my student debt to CRAs and XXXX, to no avail. To date, CRAs temporarily delete XXXX disputed tradeline then illegally reinsert it at XXXX unlawful oft repeated request. As legal lender and principal of both its agents, XXXX and XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX obviously bears ultimate legal responsibility for the actions of loan servicers acting in clear violation of federal law for benefit of XXXX XXXX XXXX.
