Complaint narrative:
Dear M & T BANK, My name is XXXX XXXX and I am a consumer and i am expressing my consumer rights. As a federally protected consumer under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am exercising my right to opt out of any and all authorizations I may have previously provided to you, whether written, unwritten, verbal, or nonverbal, for the sharing of my personal, financial, or confidential information.

15 U.S. Code 6801- Protection of nonpublic personal information ( a ) PRIVACY OBLIGATION POLICY. It is the policy of the Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers nonpublic personal information.

15 U.S. Code 6802- Obligations with respect to disclosures of personal information ( b ) Opt out ( 1 ) In general A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless ( C ) the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that disclosure option. M & T BANK failed to give any written notices that they were reporting to ANY nonaffiliated third party and they did NOT provide any disclosures options to protect my nonpublic personal information. DELETE this account from my consumer report from any reporting Agency under THE PRIVACY ACT OF XXXX. 

15 U.S. Code 6803- Disclosure of institution privacy policy ( a ) DISCLOSURE REQUIRED. At the time of establishing a consumer relationship with a consumer and not less than annually during the continuation of such relationship, a financial institution shall provide a clear and conspicuous disclosure to such consumer, in writing or in electronic form or other form permitted by the regulations prescribed under section 6804 of this title of such financial institutions policies and practices with respect to- ( 1 ) disclosing nonpublic personal information to affiliates and nonaffiliated third parties, consistent with section 6802 of this title. M & T BANK have failed to give proper notices annually ( 3 years to date in which your company obligated to pay up to {$1000.00} per violation ) and to whom they were sharing it with. In XXXX until current i have never received any disclosures of my rights to the sharing of my nonpublic personal information. The sharing or transferring of my nonpublic personal information constitutes Identity Theft. I have never done any business with XXXX for them to have any of my Personal Info in regards to this account, my social, the transaction history etc. This all is Fraud. I am a firm believer in my rights and i will not stop until i am fully remedied and if that's through an agent of arbitration clause so be it.
