XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> Experian XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Subject : Formal Dispute Regarding Inaccurate Information on my credit report. 

I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information on my credit report that I believe is harming my financial well-being. I am aware of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and request a thorough investigation into these inaccuracies, as required by federal law. 

Recently, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau filed a lawsuit against Experian for its failure to properly investigate consumer disputes citing " sham investigations '' and other unlawful practices, as outlined by the CFPB include : Conducting inadequate investigations that fail to address consumer disputes properly. Reinserting previously disputed inaccurate information without explanation. Failing to notify consumers about investigation results effectively. These allegations highlight systematic issues that directly undermine consumer protections and perpetuate the inclusion of innacurate information on my credit reports. I am deeply concerned that my dispute may be mishandled in a similar manner. 

Please review the inaccurate information being reported : XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX late payment for XXXX and XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX requested to be removed XXXX  times and it was reinserted with NO explanation

2. My Free Application for Federal Student Aid ( FAFSA ) data, including financial aid history and loan information.

Company: M&T BANK CORPORATION
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint against M & T Bank for freezing my joint bank account due to a debt collection action against my husband, despite the fact that I am the primary account holder and not responsible for the debt. Additionally, M & T Bank failed to provide me with any notice or documentation regarding this garnishment, which resulted in my mortgage payment and other utility bills being returned. 



Under Maryland law, specifically MD. Code, Commercial Law 15-602, joint bank accounts are subject to garnishment only to the extent of the debtor interest in the account. Since I am the primary owner of the account and my husband is only a joint holder, the bank should have either : 1. Notified me immediately upon the garnishment action, allowing me the opportunity to respond and assert my rights.

2. Rejected the garnishment or limited the freeze to only my husband portion of the account, as I am not legally responsible for his debt.

M & T Bank failure to provide proper notification and documentation violates my consumer rights and due process, as I was unaware of the garnishment until my bills were returned for insufficient funds. This has caused me significant financial hardship, including late fees and potential damage to my credit. 



I request the CFPB to investigate this matter and require M & T Bank to : Provide a full explanation of their actions and why they failed to notify me. Release any wrongfully garnished funds that belong to me. 

Ensure future compliance with Maryland garnishment laws to protect primary account holders. 



I have attached relevant documents, including account statements and returned payment notices, to support my claim. Please let me know how I can further assist in resolving this issue. 



Thank you for your time and attention to this matter
