Company: M&T BANK CORPORATION
State: CA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: VA mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX my family experienced hardship and qualified for XXXX relief forbearance. Our previous loan servicer, XXXX XXXX XXXX presented us with the options to either pay off the unpaid sum, place the payment at the end of our loan, or a modification. We continued to utilize this forbearance and had to certify with them every XXXX months. Every time I spoke with them I discussed the same options and voiced I would like it placed at the end of our loan. 

In XXXX our loan was sold to M & T Bank, and the records and notes on our previous account were deleted ( purposefully in my opinion ) in the exchange. M & T also said that the previous loan servicer " Didn't do the forbearance right ''. They're throwing blame off themselves for not reviewing our account before purchasing? They called me on XX/XX/XXXX to discuss the forbearance and said they no longer offer the option to place the payment at the end of the loan and we can modify or pay XXXX. I was told the program ended in either XXXX or XXXX for VA loans to utilize that payment type. It wasn't communicated to us that it wasn't an option until XX/XX/XXXX, right at the very end of our forbearance period. M & T sent us a modification notice which is dated XX/XX/XXXX but I checked my USPS mail scans and the document isn't listed that they delivered it. The modification offered wouldn't be affordable by doubling our interest rate and adding over 1k to our monthly payments. I believe they are preying on us. I did file with the California Mortgage Relief program since our forbearance ends this month and they are threatening to foreclose.

This is a formal complaint reporting the fraudulent accounts I have discovered on my credit file, which have been reported by the three major Credit Reporting Agencies. The following accounts are in no way associated with me. I recently received a copy of my credit report and was shocked to find several accounts that I did not open and have no knowledge of. After conducting research on how to remove fraudulent accounts from my report, I learned that I need to visit the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) or their website at XXXX : XXXX to file a report. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) section 605b, Credit Reporting Agencies are required to remove or block any accounts listed on an identity theft report. I have neither received any money, goods, nor services as a result of this fraud, nor have I authorized these accounts. Therefore, I urgently request that these accounts be promptly disassociated from any affiliation with me : XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : {$610.00}. According to FCRA Section XXXX ( a ), the Credit Reporting Agencies are required to block any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information resulting from an alleged identity theft. This blocking must be done no later than XXXX business days after the date of receipt.

Complaint:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing this letter to report a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by a creditor. I recently checked my credit report and found that the creditor had listed inaccurate information, which has negatively affected my credit score. The creditor did not follow the regulations laid out in the FCRA, which mandates that creditors must report accurate information to the credit bureaus. 

According to the FCRA, if a creditor fails to report the correct information, they have committed a violation that can be reported to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. I hereby request that an investigation be conducted into this matter so that the creditor can be held accountable for their actions. Additionally, I urge the bureau to take necessary action and ensure that the creditor corrects the inaccurate reporting to the credit bureaus. 

I believe the creditor has violated the law and my rights under the FCRA, and I request appropriate legal action to be taken. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to receiving your response.

Complaint:
I have attempted to get my mortgage lender to call me about ways to help lower my payment using the FHA streamline refinance, as well as after paying my escrow balance current to do an escrow reanalysis to see if it would lower my escrow payment at all so that my monthly mortgage payment would be more attainable. After several calls to them, and requesting several calls from my lender they do not call me back at all. Their automated system is confusing and convoluted to get an associate on the phone which makes it impossible to even work with them.
