Company: M&T BANK CORPORATION
State: FL
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: FHA mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
I had a Mortgage with XXXX  XXXX XXXX that was sold by XXXX XXXX XXXX to have M & T BANK several years back. Once M & T Bank took over the Mortgage loan ; Hurricane Irene arrived, and wreaked a lot of damage to my home, located in XXXX Florida. After fighting for over two years with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to get damages covered ( with the help of a professional adjuster and an attorney ), I finally got a settlement to replace my damaged roof ( not enough money to cover the Hurricane Irene damages, but close enough to begin roof  replacement with the help from a personal loan ). The XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX settlement check was made-out to my wife, myself, XXXX XXXX ( HELOC mortgage lean holder ), and M & T Bank the main Mortgage holder. XXXX XXXX did not hold the check, but issued the required signature for the release of the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX funds. The signed check was sent to M & T Bank Mortgage in XX/XX/2019. 

In early XX/XX/XXXX, I was advised by several M & T Bank Mortgage personnel to submit a list of over twelve documents to M & T Bank. I ended-up filing over twenty-pages via Fax, and via M & T Bank web page " XXXX XXXX XXXX '', and through Certified mail ( Claim Tracking # XXXX ). I have had to file the twenty-pages via Fax, and via M & T Bank web page " XXXX XXXX XXXX '', over-and-over again to insure that they have received required documents. 
M & T Bank still will not release the funds to replace my roof, even though my roof keeps leaking, and further damages keep surmounting. 
Many dozen phone calls have been placed and documented to try to get M & T Bank to comply with the releasing of the funds to begin roof replacement work, but to no avail. Almost every instance I call M & T Bank, I am advised that the case is still being looked at. It is the only answer that I normally get. 
Besides filing a lawsuit against M & T Bank, I do not know what other options I may have. Please Help.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
I have emailed, mailed, and called XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding payments on my account that were deffer ed and under forbearance, they were NOT LATE. I have proof via email from XXXX to show that I was approved for Deferment due to still being in XXXX XXXX.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
I called the company and told them the debt isnt mine and I disputed it. This debt was removed and then put back on my credit in order to drop my score in which the did by 30 points. They then begin to report it to the credit bureau as if I was on a payment plan stating that I missed my first payment updating my report every two weeks. I stayed to them that its against law to put a collection on and off ones report in order to damage their credit and I also to them that they are falsifying information as if they is a new account and reporting missed payments as if I made payment arrangements.

Company: CAVALRY INVESTMENTS, LLC
State: IN
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
I need to report violations of the FDCPA by XXXX and Cavalry Portfolio Services in regards to an alleged debt in my name. Cavalry is attempting to collect a debt that doesn't exist. They claim it is a XXXX credit card debt I had from XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX and even filed a lawsuit in the XXXX XXXX courts which honestly prompted me to make a few payments to avoid the lawsuit. I finally looked into the debt because I didn't remember ever having a credit card that long and I noticed the paperwork Cavalry sent me was stating an APR of 29.99 % which immediately told me something was wrong. I was in the XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX during that entire time period and never had anything with an APR that high because thanks to the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act I was entitled to a 6 % APR on all my credit lines. I must assume this paperwork is modified or not real at all so I begin to do some research and I don't find anything anywhere showing I had a XXXX credit card during those times. I did however find a XXXX credit card debt that was closed satisfactorily in XX/XX/2007. The chances of me closing a credit card and then opening the same exact card again 27 days later is very, very unlikely. This is clearly a fabricated debt with an unlawful APR, fabricated documents and a lawsuit that I just lost {$320.00} on trying to do the right thing. Although the debt doesn't exist Cavalry filed suit anyway and collected 3 payments from me without ever attempting to mention anything. Even the document showing alleged account information shows the open and close date with an address I didn't live at during either of those times. All the information is wrong and yet they are reporting this account to the credit bureau 's and since I made those payments Cavalry has re-aged the debt thus performing yet another illegal credit act. I have informed Cavalry about this, I have called XXXX and I have sent disputes through the credit agencies but they refuse to leave me alone. Please help me get this taken care and ensure all companies involved are punished accordingly. Thank you for your time.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
Dear Sir/ Madam, Thanking you in advance for your time and attention -with regard now - my complaint with Performant Recovery , Inc. which continues to date to harass me with bogus ( absolutely false ) claim of money due and in addition " delinquency '' as well - with the possibility of other charges if no response by me within 30 days. 
This is in regard to sales taxes- my company is not active - no sales were made! Therefore no money was made and in addition the demand for delinquency funds is ludicrous! 
This began at tax time last year XXXX - as is now the same - with a letter as is now - and several phone calls going back and forth - with the involvement of my accountant which was solved - finally! 
However, it is starting up again, and involving the collection, and for the same time period which is well passed ( obviously fraud ) XX/XX/XXXX ( twice ) Although there is no amount due - but a delinquency charge, of which there should be none - and could become absolutely unbelievable, with erroneous charges mounting and sky rocketing with delight for them! 
As well - their delight, perhaps, in disturbing and aggravating my day with such a nasty trivial matter which could also alter my standing as decent and reputable!!! 
Thank you ever much as I remain, Cordially yours,

Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint:
I am full of mixed emotion. I have been consistently denied for auto loans, mortgage loans and by credit card companies! After being denied a considerable amount of times I decided to review my credit report. The things I came across when viewing the items being reported frustrates me. My credit report is full of errors and accounts that do not belong to me. I have prior experience as an attorney so I am familiar with how laws work. According to FCRA section 609 you are required to provide me with an original application bearing my signature from each creditor reporting negative information on my credit report. If I am not provided this information within 30 days all items are suppose to be removed. I am confident that these items will be removed because the original application bearing my does not exist because these accounts do not belong to me. If needed I will take legal action for the errors. According to 15 U.S. Code 1681 - Congressional findings and statement of purpose the banking system works operates off of credit reporting agencies reporting accurate information. So it is in you best interest to always assure that any information being reported is accurate.
