Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: Maximus Federal Services, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally lodge two complaints regarding my student loan service provider, Advantage. 

Firstly, Advantage has removed my ability to resubmit my application to annually renew my income based repayment plan as per the original details of my loan contract Secondly, I would like to formally lodge a complaint regarding the unauthorized access and breach of my educational records, financial aid data, and IRS tax information by the U.S. Department of Education ( DOE ) and the Department of Government Efficiency ( DOGE ). This breach constitutes a direct violation of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ( FERPA ) and Title IV regulations, as well as an egregious violation of my personal privacy and financial security. 

I recently discovered that my sensitive and legally protected records were accessed and potentially shared without my consent. This includes but is not limited to : My academic records and personally identifiable information ( PII ). 
My Free Application for XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) data, including financial aid history and loan information. 
My IRS tax transcripts, which were obtained and used without proper authorization. 

These actions violate my rights under FERPA ( 20 U.S.C. 1232g ; 34 CFR Part 99 ), which grants me the right to control access to my educational records, as well as Title IV of the Higher Education Act, which governs the use and protection of federal student aid information. Furthermore, unauthorized access to my IRS tax data raises serious concerns regarding potential identity theft, fraud, and violations of federal data security standards. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to your immediate response and resolution.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address the inaccurate late payment listings on my consumer report, specifically concerning the accounts associated with DISCOVER and XXXX, with the reported late payment dated on my credit report. This is my third attempt to resolve this matter amicably. 

I still noticed discrepancies in the information being furnished on my credit report. It is imperative to acknowledge that various federal laws are in place to safeguard consumer rights and ensure fair business practices. I would like to draw your attention to 15 USC 1666 ( B ) and 15 USC 1637 a ( a ), which explicitly prohibits reporting or treating a payment on an open-ended credit plan as late for any reason.

Furthermore, 15 USC 16819 ( B ) stipulates that as a consumer, I must grant permission for the furnishing of information on my behalf. To date, I have not provided such authorization to [ Name of Company Reporting Late Payment ]. Thus, the reporting of late payments without my consent is a violation of consumer protection laws.

Additionally, the billing errors identified under 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) and 15 USC 1637 a ( a ), including the creditor 's failure to reflect payments properly on a statement and computation errors, further highlight the inaccuracies in the reported information. As per the Fair Credit Billing Act, the creditor is obligated to notify me at least 21 days before the due date if there are any discrepancies in the statement. Failure to do so renders any late payment designation as a billing error. The following items must be promptly updated to reflect " paid as agreed '' on my consumer report : DISCOVER - XXXX I demand conclusive evidence from the creditor 's records demonstrating that the reported late payments were indeed justified and not the result of billing errors. Your persistent failure to rectify these inaccuracies not only tarnishes my consumer report but also undermines my financial standing. 

I hereby request that the late payment listings associated with the aforementioned accounts be promptly updated to reflect accurate information or removed entirely. Failure to comply will result in legal action seeking monetary compensation for violations of my rights under 15 USC 1681n civil liability.
