Complaint:
I do not have a M & T Bank account, yet I keep receiving numerous spam texts saying my M & T Bank account needs review. This text I've just received led me to a link ( which I've followed on my PC in VPN and hidden IP mode ) which looks extremely suspicious. The number that texted it is XXXX, and the website address they say to follow is XXXX XXXX XXXX It has " login '' details to enter, but I'm 100 % certain it's just a puppet page that logs the information for more scammers to use. Again, I have no account, so nothing happened to me, but this looks like a very easy situation to fool anyone with a M & T Bank account.

Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
After reviewing my credit profile on XX/XX/XXXX I identified a discrepancy with account listed under AFNI Inc . I requested a validation on XX/XX/XXXX as this was an account that I did not recognize. I reviewed my credit report again on XX/XX/XXXX and account continues to reflect on my credit report and I have not received any correspondence from creditor to validate these accounts as correctly belonging to me. Therefore on XX/XX/XXXX I sent a 2nd validation letter. Credit report was reviewed again on XX/XX/XXXX and still there were no updates to reflect that account was being disputed and no validation was received therefore I sent a dispute direct to all 3 credit bureaus.Credit report was reviewed again on XX/XX/XXXX and the account is still reflecting on my report and I do not believe the account belongs to me nor that the creditor has authorization to attempt to collect on this account and the account continues to negatively affect me. Please strike and remove this account from all 3 credit bureaus until adequate validation has been received proving that this account belongs to me and all information is correct.

The payment showed it was in the pending status for further investigation. I also submitted an invoice to the XXXX just in case. 

I attempted to submit payment to XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$550.00} for the XXXX tax services though PayPal. I accidentally selected friends and family vs business. PayPal informed me the transaction was authorize despite it being the incorrect user. I asked if PayPal can assist me in obtaining the payment back from the user or provide me with additional information and they declined.

The company, PayPal has access to information to inform me whether the user with the email XXXX has accepted the payment, transferred the payment, or if the payment is held in a balance.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
In JXX/XX/2020, I have filed a notice with XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion for removal of all old credit cards reporting as charged off from bankruptcy. Which is illegal to report after bankruptcy in my credit report. Which most of the credit bureaus move it " closed account '' but not removed it from my credit report. I have sent another letter to remove but no response from any of the credit bureaus with this matter. 

On XX/XX/2020, I have sent a request to each of the 3 credit bureaus for verification to bankruptcy reporting in my credit reports. Due to Covid-19, I have intentionally waited 6 weeks before sending complaint to CFPB with no response from any of the credit bureaus. 

When I received the response letters from XX/XX/2020 CFPB, I was to call to obtain the status of response from the bureaus and when I was online waiting for almost an hour, I was told that I could NOT get the update from credit bureaus because I needed to be identified! Clearly this is delay tactic when there has been communication prior to from all credit bureaus issuing a file number and referring as the subject matter prior to now needing verifications to my identity. 

I can name number of Fair Credit Reporting Act violation with this matter and I need this matter resolved! If all credit bureaus can not supply the verification to bankruptcy in my credit report in timely manner as detailed in several laws, including but not limited to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I must immediately demand the permanent removal of this item from my credit report.
