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.
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the unauthorized access to my student loan data by the Department of Government Efficiency ( DOGE ), led by XXXX XXXX. This access, which occurred on or around XX/XX/XXXX, constitutes a violation of my privacy rights under the Privacy Act of 1974 and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ( FERPA ).

The Privacy Act of 1974 explicitly prohibits federal agencies from disclosing personal records without the written consent of the individual, except under specific statutory exceptions. Similarly, FERPA safeguards the privacy of student education records and restricts their disclosure without explicit consent. The actions of DOGE, as reported, involved accessing sensitive datasets maintained by the Department of Education, including the National Student Loan Database System and the Common Origination and Disbursement System. These systems contain personally identifiable information such as Social Security numbers, financial details, and other private data. 

I did not provide consent for DOGE or XXXX XXXX to access my records. The disclosure of my personal information to an unelected and non-congressionally approved entity is a clear breach of the protections afforded to me under these laws. Furthermore, this unauthorized access undermines the trust I placed in the Department of Education to safeguard my sensitive information.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.
