Executive Summary

The District of Maryland dismissed with prejudice a pro se plaintiff's lawsuit against Truist Bank alleging forgery on a 2011 mortgage refinancing. The court found all claims — under TILA, the Privacy Act, Gramm-Leach-Bliley, and Maryland common law — were either legally inapplicable or time-barred by over a decade. This is a clear win for Truist, removing a trivial, meritless case with no financial exposure.
