Executive Summary
The Seventh Circuit affirmed summary judgment for M&T Bank in a Fair Credit Reporting Act suit. The plaintiff cosigned a car loan and later disputed M&T's reporting of the deficiency balance after repossession. The appellate court held M&T's investigation of the disputes was reasonable as a matter of law, and the plaintiff forfeited any challenge to that finding. This is a routine, non-precedential individual consumer case with trivial financial exposure for a $36.6B bank — no material impact on M&T's operations or stock.
