Company: M&T BANK CORPORATION
State: LA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Credit monitoring or identity theft protection services
Sub-issue: Billing dispute for services

Complaint:
- A loan agreement was entered into between XXXX XXXX XXXX and M & T Bank on or about XX/XX/XXXX. 

- On XX/XX/XXXX, a discussion between XXXX and I came to the conclusion that we should have received some type of statement, by now, from M & T Bank regarding a first payment being due. At that time, we reached and were told that we did, in fact, have a payment due on XX/XX/XXXX. Seeing as how we were late, we made that payment over the phone and verified our billing address in order to begin receiving monthly statements. 

- Received my next months statement ( attached ) in the mail for XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, paid it online on XX/XX/XXXX. This was the only statement ever received from M & T Bank. 

- Next months payment was made on XX/XX/XXXX online, but no statement was received. 

- Enrolled in XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX via a mailed document ( attached ). 

- On XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX CST co-signer of the M & T XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX received a phone call that there was a past due amount on our XXXX XXXX. The call seemed somewhat unprofessional and invalid, thus triggering XXXX to believe that the call was fraudulent. An attempt was made to collect payment, but was denied due to the call seeming bogus. XXXX made a call to me to let me know, but I was driving at the time and did not look into the call until I got home. Upon arriving at home at roughly XXXX, I looked on the M & T app and realized that the call was accurate. This triggered me to enter into a payment for the past due amount of {$330.00}. This was the first contact that was made by M & T Bank regarding any type of past due amount. No phone calls, no written contact until XXXX ( CST ) XX/XX/XXXX. 

- On XXXX I was notified by my credit monitoring agency that my credit had taken a substantial hit for a delinquent account ( M & T Bank ). 

- A letter XXXX attached ) was written and sent on XX/XX/XXXX to dispute this claim with M & T Bank, explaining the circumstances, and requesting the derogatory remarks be removed from my credit report. A reply letter ( attached ) from M & T Bank was written on XX/XX/XXXX, and received on XX/XX/XXXX indicating that no action would be taken by M & T Bank in regard to removing the derogatory remark from my credit report. A second letter XXXX attached ) was generated, by myself, on XX/XX/XXXX regarding their decision to take no action. 

We are of the opinion that there is some type of communication disconnect between M & T Billing Department XXXX M & T Customers, and the M & T Collections/Credit Department, and that our credit scores should not reflect this negligence. As stated previously, both XXXX and my credit scores have been immaculate up until this incident.

Complaint:
New Information PLEASE READ : This account ( Acct : XXXX ) ( {$330.00} ) has passed the statutes of limitations. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act : [ The 7-year ( credit reporting ) period referred to in paragraphs ( 4 ) and ( 6 ) 6 of  subsection ( a ) shall begin, with respect to any delinquent account that is placed for collection ( internally or by referral to a third party, whichever is earlier ), charged to profit and loss, or subjected to any similar action, upon the expiration of the 180-day period beginning on the date of the commencement of the delinquency which immediately preceded the collection activity, charge to profit and loss, or similar action 15 U.S.C. 1681c ] The first reported delinquency was reported prior to XXXX, more than 7 years ago. XXXX XXXX in their last response provided a letter stating that the account was CLOSED XX/XX/XXXX. This account was never re-established after being closed. I believe that this account was ERRONEOUSLY RE- AGED. I was told that there was one payment made in XXXX and another in XXXX. My records show no payments made during those years. ( even if payment had been made to the closed account, it would not have, according to law, re-established or properly re-aged the account ). For simplicity sake, I asked for verification of payments and was told that the records were not available due to age and the fact that this account belonged to a prior bank XXXX. 

I have had a very good and very long ( 20 year ) relationship with XXXX XXXX and would like to amicably resolve this issue.

Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
Home was damaged due to water pipe breaking in ceiling of second floor. Because damage exceeded XXXX, insurance company sent check to my mortgage company. 
All repairs have been completed and inspection done and confirmed by bank. They have refused to release the balance of my funds of aprox XXXX. I have spoken to and or emailed with so many different agents, that I have lost count. They say they will release funds if I provide them with a particular item then, request something totally different the next email. Everything is done and paid for, I have submitted copies of all payment and contractors paperwork. They still will not release the balance to me. It is causing a hardship as I paid out of my own funds to complete the work. The last phone conversation was with XXXX. She assured me the remaining funds would be release if I showed proof of payment to XXXX XXXX XXXX. That was done. Now a different agent is requesting something completely different and unnecessary. They even had paperwork from another claimants claim in my file and were asking me to provide contractor information of this claim ( from another state ) Took me a week to clear that mess up with them. It has been over 4months of dealing with this.

Complaint:
Choice Recovery never disclosed fees that were added to my total balance when making my payment. The fees of {$35.00} was never disclosed that I was paying it. Choice Recovery took money from my payment and never added all the money I paid to decrease my balance. 

When contacting Choice Recovery I was told the fee was not suppose to show on my credit report, nor am I requires to pay the fee. The fee was almost 50 % of my total balance. This is a very deceptive practice as I had no knowledge of a fee I paid.

This is a follow up to my previous CFPB Complaint I submitted on XX/XX/XXXX. On my CFPB Complaints, I requested that the Credit Bureaus remove the fraudulent accounts and information that are reporting on my Credit File. Under the Fair Credit reporting Act section 605b, the XXXX XXXX XXXX are required to remove the disputed accounts and information completely from my Credit file. Although that some of the disputed items were removed, there are still accounts that remained and should also be removed from my Credit File. The Credit Bureaus are expected to comply with the Federal law and have the disputed accounts removed. Once again, I was a victim of identity theft and the disputed accounts and information were the results of such crimes, therefore the Credit Bureaus must remove the fraudulent accounts and information as soon as possible.

Complaint:
I'm no expert or anything but I know for sure that the three bureaus most report 100 % accurate information to a credit report, I took a look at my credit report not to long ago and there's nothing but INCORRECT items on my credit report that doesn't even belong to me. So not only is the information inaccurate across all bureaus but the items don't even belong to me. I've disputed multiple times and the bureaus aren't taking it serious, they're continuing to report incorrect items on my credit report, I will be attaching these inaccuracies to this complaint. It's honestly ridiculous. Remove ALL of these incorrect information so I can move on with my life. You are defaming me and I feel like I'm being toyed with. I also refuse to dispute directly through any of the bureaus because they clearly will not fix the problem. I'm just sick of this all together. Literally all you guys do is defame consumers for a living.

Complaint:
On or about XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX  handed over processing of the XXXX XXXX credit card to Barclays Bank, where it is now the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. As part of this transition, payments made to XXXX bank were to be credited to the new Barclay accounts, and new cards were issued. 

My payment of {$2100.00} to XXXX, which was sent electronically on XX/XX/XXXX, was accepted on XX/XX/XXXX and credited to the new Barclays account. You can see this transaction on my Barclays XX/XX/2022 statement listed as - {$2100.00} with the Description of " PAYMENT - THANK YOU LANG*! XXXX ''. However, on XX/XX/XXXX, a transaction of {$2100.00} was posted to the new Barclays account with the Description " / % m ''. Needless to say, I did not authorize this transaction. When I called Barclays about this mysterious transaction, they said that my payment had been returned to me because it occurred after the transition from XXXX to Barclays. However, no payment was ever returned to me through my bank, and to this day I have received no refund. My bank ( XXXX XXXX  XXXX confirmed that the payment was successfully processed electronically and gave me a confirmation number. My XXXX bank statement also confirms this. 

Since the XXXX of XXXX I have called Barclays at least 7 times to attempt to get this resolved. I even contacted XXXX bank ; they were sympathetic and said they had heard about this problem from five other customers just on the day that I was talking to them, but that it was a problem that only Barclays could resolve. I have also sent electronic messages to Barclays through their message center and supplied them with all the information they have requested, including FAXing ( per their instructions ) evidence of the bank statements and confirmation of electronic payment. Still, on my last phone contact with them today ( XX/XX/XXXX ), they seemed to have no idea what was going on, and one customer representative even hung up on me. They also refused to give me a case number or confirmation number on my call, and I refused to hang up until they at least provided me with a call center employee identifier so that I could track the call if needed.
