Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2021, my Loss Mitigation Assistance Application was denied by M & T bank. On XX/XX/2021 I received a letter from M & T regarding my Loss Mitigation Assistance Application for which they request additional documentation. I supplied the additional documentation on XX/XX/2021, via confirmed Fax from an M & T branch. Although I supplied all the documents requested, application was denied and forbearance status was revoked leading to four packages of foreclosure letters mailed to my address at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, NY, XXXX the following week. This practice was horrendous, as M & T customer reps has no explanation as to was cause for the for start of foreclosure proceedings. They never processed my application because it was never their intent. I am concerned that M & T is attempting to force me out of my home so the profit by resale on the open market. They are denying me the opportunity to obtain loss mitigation assistance to stay in my home as I wish to do.

Sub-issue: Personal information incorrect

Complaint:
On my personal identification it states that I went by a former name. This is incorrect and I would like it removed because I never went by this name. My name is very common and I don't want to be confused with anyone else! I know this may seem frivolous to anyone else but with identity theft being so rampant these days, I would like that information taken off of my report as it is incorrect. I just don't want it to cause me any problems in the future, I have enough problems to deal with in the present! 
Thank you for your time and I truly hope that this is not considered a frivolous complaint! Even though it may not seem life-threatening or earth-shattering it does mean a lot to me to have the incorrect information removed. 
Respectfully yours

Please advise me what I need to do. I don't feel like I should pay a fraudulent charge do to PayPal 's poor protection of their customers monies. Thank you, XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
A process server from sheriff 's department came to my house and handed me wage garnishment documents asking to garnish wages of my employee. My company ( that I own, registered, and dissolved years ago ) is listed as the employer being ordered to garnish wages to myself as the employee. 

I have no knowledge of this debt nor did it make sense to be asking my dissolved company to garnish wages from myself. I have never received nor heard of Unifund until receiving this letter. This isn't even showing up in my credit report. 

I contacted the lawyer representing Unifund ( XXXX XXXX ) and the account representative was not able to locate the amount in question nor did it show there is a wage garnishment in process. The only thing they can see is a debt I had settled years ago where account balance is {$0.00} and is ilisted in good standing with XXXX XXXX when I closed it.
