Company: Maximus Federal Services, Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against my federal student loan servicer, Aidvantage, for mishandling and improperly sharing my personal student loan data. According to credible reports, my private borrower information was improperly shared with unauthorized parties, including XXXX XXXX team, without my consent or knowledge. 

This appears to violate the Privacy Act of 1974, as well as the Department of Educations own rules regarding borrower data protection. This breach has caused me serious distress, created risk of identity theft, and undermined my trust in both my servicer and the federal student loan system. 

I am asking the CFPB to investigate this matter and hold Aidvantage accountable for this privacy violation. I am also requesting that the Department of Education consider full discharge of my federal student loans as a corrective action, given the serious breach of my rights as a borrower.

This statute mandates that consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information, you are required to promptly delete or modify any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable during a reinvestigation.

I recently reviewed a copy of my credit report and I noticed some hard inquiries that I do not recognize or were made in error.
