Company: Maximus Federal Services, Inc.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint against AIDVANT regarding their inaccurate reporting of my student loan payment history. Despite being in deferment, AIDVANT has consistently reported my account as being 120 days late for numerous months, instead of appropriately reporting it as a charge-off as required by law. This erroneous reporting has had severe repercussions on my credit score and overall financial well-being.

The issue stems from AIDVANT 's failure to accurately reflect the status of my loan during the deferment period. As per the terms of my loan agreement, I am entitled to deferment, during which no payments are due, yet AIDVANT has repeatedly misrepresented the status of my account, causing undue stress and financial hardship.

I have diligently adhered to the terms of my loan agreement and have promptly provided all required documentation for deferment. However, AIDVANT 's negligent reporting practices have tarnished my credit report and made it exceedingly difficult for me to access further financial opportunities. 

Therefore, I urge the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to launch a thorough investigation into AIDVANT 's inaccurate reporting practices and take appropriate enforcement actions to rectify the situation. Additionally, I request compensation for the damages incurred as a result of AIDVANT 's failure to comply with federal regulations. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I anticipate a swift resolution to this issue and look forward to your response.

Complaint narrative:
I am a hardworking individual has been diligently paying my accounts on time for the quite a long time. However, upon reviewing my credit report, I discover several instances of late payments recorded by these creditors. Perplexed by this discrepancy, I contacted these creditors to inquire about the inaccuracies. After discussing the matter with a customer service representative and the billing department, it becomes evident that there was a mutual agreement between me and these creditors to adjust the payment schedule due to unforeseen circumstances. Despite adhering to this adjusted schedule, the payments were mistakenly marked as late in the system. Understanding the gravity of the situation, these creditors swiftly acknowledge the error and assures me that the inaccurate late payments will be rectified. Additionally, they offer to provide written documentation of the agreed-upon payment schedule to prevent any future misunderstandings.
