Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Servicer under contract with Federal Student Aid
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing 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 Governmental Entities ( 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 : XXXX. My academic records and personally identifiable information ( PII ). 
XXXX. My Free Application for Federal Student Aid ( FAFSA ) data, including financial aid history and loan information. 
XXXX. 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.

After sending complaints here in CFPB these negative items are STILL reporting and my complaints have NEVER been resolved. I am a victim of identity theft.

I've also called on MULTIPLE occasions regarding the negative items that are reported on my credit report. These accounts are NOT MINE. I am the primary consumer of the complaint and there is no third party involved. This complaint was not submitted in error. Attached you will also find my ID as proofofmyidentity and my Proof of Address.

Complaint narrative:
When I checked my credit report today, I was alarmed to find an unauthorized inquiry that I did not recognize. I review my credit report regularly, yet this time, out of nowhere, I saw something that should not be there. I even attempted refreshing my browser in case it was a system error, but the issue persisted. This is beyond frustrating, and I want this matter resolved immediately. Please go over the documents I have sent carefully so I can finally put this nightmare behind me.

Complaint narrative:
XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Date : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Subject : Continued Dispute of Charge-Off Reporting Violation of FCRA Accuracy & Verification Requirements To Whom It May Concern, I am writing in response to your letter dated XXXX, regarding my dispute of the charge-off account referenced in my previous correspondence. Your response does not fully address the issues raised under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) regarding the accuracy, completeness, and verification of the reported information. 

Continued Dispute of Charge-Off Reporting While you assert that the charge-off was an internal accounting decision rather than a debt cancellation, this does not resolve my dispute regarding FCRA violations and reporting accuracy. Specifically : 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) Maximum Possible Accuracy Requirement XXXX is reporting a charge-off without providing full and verifiable accounting records to substantiate the alleged balance, interest accrual, and breakdown of fees. 
If the account has been sold, assigned, or transferred, the furnishing of information must reflect the current status accurately.

15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) Failure to Provide Proper Reinvestigation I requested a full reinvestigation and verification of this account, yet XXXX has only provided a generic response without documentation proving the validity of the amount reported. 
Per the FCRA, any unverified or incomplete information must be deleted from my credit report. 
Consumer Protection Laws Regarding Unfair or Misleading Reporting The continued reporting of a charge-off without substantiating the balance with itemized records may constitute misrepresentation under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA, 15 U.S.C. 1692e ). 
If XXXX is no longer attempting to collect this debt, the continued reporting may be construed as an unfair practice. 
Formal Demand for Documentation or Immediate Deletion Given these issues, I am formally requesting the following : Full and complete itemized records of the debt, including payment history, interest calculations, and an explanation of any fees added. 
Proof that XXXX is the rightful owner or servicer of this debt, including any assignments or sales to third parties. 
Clarification of any continued collection activity on this account. 
If XXXX can not provide the requested verification, I demand the immediate removal of this charge-off from my credit report.
