Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: M&T BANK CORPORATION (PA)

I am filing this complaint due to M & T Banks failure to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) still, specifically under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which mandates the blocking of fraudulent information on my credit report upon receipt of appropriate documentation. I have fully complied with the requirements outlined in this section by providing all necessary documentation to support my claim that the account in question was not opened by me and is a result of identity theft.

Despite my clear and repeated denial of ownership of this account, M & T Bank continues to insist that I am the owner without providing any substantial evidence to support their assertion. Their XX/XX/year>, response reiterates their stance without addressing the core issue : they have not provided any proof, such as signed agreements or verification of my personal information, that confirms I initiated or agreed to the terms of this account.

M & T Banks refusal to honor my request to block this fraudulent account from my credit file is in direct violation of FCRA 1681c-2. This account should be permanently blocked from my credit report due to its fraudulent nature, and M & T Bank has yet to comply with the law by either validating my identity as the account holder or by removing the erroneous information.

I request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) take action to enforce compliance with FCRA 1681c-2 and 1681s-2b and ensure M & T Bank fulfills their obligations under federal law. This fraudulent account is negatively impacting my credit, and M & T Banks failure to follow proper procedure only exacerbates the harm.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.
