Freedom Mortgage keeps charging me late fees even though they are receiving my payment within the contractual grace period. I am not the only one.

The post office advised me that this is not true. 
Freedom Mortgage has done this to me several times, AFTER I advided tham that I do not want to be on their calls and advertising lists for them and their affiliates. I think these charges are fraudulent, should be investigated and collected for a class action lawsuit!!!

Company: M&T BANK CORPORATION
State: MD
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account
Sub-issue: Money was taken from your account on the wrong day or for the wrong amount

Complaint:
In 2013, I open a M & T account for direct deposit. Without notice, a lawyer somehow put a freeze on my checking account. I was n't aware of the freeze until I went to use my check card. I was not given any notice that my account was going to be put into a freeze status. After I went to court and explained to the judge what happened, he released the freeze from my account. I closed the M & T checking account because I was not happy with the way they put my account into freeze without letting me know first. Later, I was charged by M & T bank for extra fees for some very small unauthorized charges. I 'm not sure what these charges for or why they were put on my account, but I was held accountable for them being charged {$38.00} fee on a {$1.00} charge, etc. This was done three times for very small charges. I was n't made aware that I had a balance until I went to have my name added to account with my husband at XXXX XXXX this year. XXXX XXXX would not allow me to establish a joint checking account with my husband because they said I had an outstanding amount to pay at M & T. I need these charges to be investigated because I feel they were unrightfully charged against my account at M & T and wrongful bank fees were applied giving me a negative rating with XXXX XXXX  for minor unauthorized charges.

On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX transferred {$1000.00} from Wells Fargo bank to me for her rent. Wells Fargo linked the payment to my email address XXXX which resulted in chase bank rejecting the transfer of funds because I have no account with them.and surely sending money to an email address can not be a sound or legal practice.

My renter, XXXX XXXX, has visited the branch three times made multiple phone calls. She told me that the branch said it was my fault and I needed to figure it out.

I received a call from XXXX XXXX executive office for online banking instead who told me I need to call a clearing center and wait 10 more days. Meanwhile I am being charged {$25.00} per day NSF by my bank. There is over {$1000.00} floating around in cyber space and Wells Fargo will not pay me or rectify the situation. Wells Fargo is putting the responsibility on me to call chase which I did, to call clearinghouse, to communicate between Wells Fargo online banking and branch management and I am not the banker. I am not employed there and I have called and done everything I can. Then a private note was forwarded to me that the banker made saying I 'm not cooperative, which I have attached and it makes no sense ( the comment ) in general. I did everything I can and it is not my tesponsibilty to find the money because according to XXXX it never left Wells Fargo. Please help.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2018 I was the victim of a robbery. My wallet and other personal items were stolen. I attempted to notify every single company that I could recall having an account with about my robbery so they could complete their due diligence and take appropriate action. I had excellent credit and had many many credit cards ( more than I could remember at the time ). Apparently one of my accounts ( XXXX ) ended up being used fraudulently. When I found out about it, I immediately contacted XXXX and began the fraud process. To my shock they refused my claim and are trying to make me responsible for a debt I did not incur. I believe I even had fraud protection on this card! Now I am in the process of trying to buy a house but I can not qualify because of this fraudulent item is still on my credit report. I have made numerous phone calls, sent letters, completed affidavits, filed police reports and have done everything I can to get this issue resolved, yet XXXX nor the credit bureaus are helping me. I am extremely disappointed with XXXX.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint:
On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I applied online to XXXX XXXX for a loan. The loan request was declined due to my short credit history. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I received a call from a lending company called XXXX XXXX through It 's representative XXXX XXXX XXXX with a loan offer of {XXXX Though I did not apply to the company for a loan, I nevertheless accepted. The representative asked for my bank details which he said the company needed to pay the check for the amount into my account. I innocently gave him my bank details over the phone. I did not suspect any foul play. I did not know he was a fraudster. It was my first time of getting involved in loan transaction. He also asked me to withdraw XXXX from the money which the company would pay into my account and pay it into an account the company would provide me. According to him, I needed to do this to boost my short credit history and prove my trust-worthiness which would qualify me for a bigger loan. Shortly afterwards, I received alert from my bank indicating the check had been deposited into my account. The next day, I innocently went to my account in ANOTHER BANK, withdrew XXXX and sent it to the account that was sent to me. After some hours, I decided to access the account the check was paid into and I realized my account had been frozen. Confused and not knowing what was wrong, I called my bank and they informed me that the checks that were paid into my account were fake checks. I immediately made a complaint to the Police. After investigation, the police gave me the case number to send to the bank, asking It to unfreeze my account, but the bank did n't comply. That is how the account has remained frozen up till now and it negatively affected my credit score.
