Company: Nelnet, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Unauthorized Disclosure of Student Loan Data Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau , I am writing to formally submit a complaint regarding the unauthorized access and potential misuse of my confidential student loan information by the Department of Government Efficiency ( DOGE ), an entity established by executive order in XX/XX/XXXX. 

Recent reports indicate that the U.S. Department of Education shared sensitive borrower dataincluding Social Security numbers and financial account detailswith DOGE and unauthorized individuals, including XXXX XXXX. This action appears to have violated the Privacy Act of 1974, which restricts the governments ability to collect and disclose personal information without proper authorization. 

As a borrower affected by this breach, I am extremely concerned about the security of my personal data, the risk of identity theft, and potential fraudulent activities arising from this improper disclosure. Furthermore, multiple lawsuits have been filed against the Department of Education by the University XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and various labor unions, reinforcing the severity of this issue. While the Department has temporarily halted DOGEs access to these records, I request that the CFPB take immediate action to : 1. Investigate the extent to which my student loan data may have been improperly accessed or shared.

2. Ensure that all affected borrowers, including myself, receive timely notifications regarding this breach. 
3. Require the Department of Education to implement stronger protections to prevent unauthorized disclosures in the future.

4. Hold accountable any parties responsible for violating federal privacy laws.

Given the sensitive nature of this matter, I urge the CFPB to act swiftly in addressing these concerns. Please confirm receipt of this complaint and provide me with information on the next steps in the investigation process. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this urgent issue. I look forward to your response. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

I am absolutely shocked and frustrated by this situation. As a law-abiding citizen, it is beyond insulting to have my rights as a consumer so blatantly violated. My credit report contains fraudulent items that I have never benefited from, and despite taking the proper steps by reporting this to the Federal Trade Commission, these false accounts remain. This ongoing issue is causing me overwhelming stress and anxiety, and it is unacceptable that I continue to suffer the consequences of someone elses wrongdoing.

This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.
