Consumer complaint received 2023-12-15
Company: M&T BANK CORPORATION
State: TX
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: FHA mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage
Sub-issue: Applying for or obtaining a modification, forbearance plan, short sale, or deed-in-lieu

Complaint:
I contacted M & T Bank in XXXX and again earlier this week. In XXXX, I requested available options to lower my monthly payment to avoid delinquency. The representative I spoke with was so dry, unprofessional, and non-empathic that I disconnected the call. It was clear that she was not interested in helping me. In late XXXX, the company I had just began employment with in XXXX began layoffs. I have now been unemployed since XX/XX/XXXX and recently declared bankruptcy. I contacted M & T Bank this week after receipt of a letter offering options to modify my original note and reduce my monthly mortgage payment through on of their loss mitigation programs. Again, I got a representative that was not at all interested in helping me. I explained to him that I was unemployed and his only response is that he couldn't help me, no other alternative options were provided. Today I received a letter from them again. This time, the options are listed as : repayment plan, unemployment/special forbearance, loan modification, short sale, and deed in lieu of foreclosure. Why hasn't any of these options or alterntatives been offered to me by the two preceding representatives? It is customary in service to exhaust all options available to best help the consumer. M & T Bank has done nothing to try and help me. Considering I am now unemployed, the male representative I spoke with this week could have offered the unemployment/special forbearance. Additionally, they do not explain the options to you or take time to work with you on best fit. I want to keep my home, but a little assistance in trying to do so would be greatly appreciated.

Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
My loan is almost 2 years old. I noticed this year that my taxes for XXXX and XXXX were not paid. I called them over 14 days ago to find out what was going on since they collect escrow money on my loan. They could not say what happened and told me they would be in touch in 48 hours.

A week later I called and advised no one had contacted me. This time they said it would take 10 days to investigate and that they would take care of the taxes. 

This week I received a letter saying that they are processing my account for an escrow exemption. This comes too late as now there is over {$500.00} in late fee 's due to the county for their negligence. 

I need help please this is beyond unprofessional and I'm starting to wonder if this is some kind of fraud to take my home away.

Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to follow up on my previous correspondence dated XX/XX/XXXX regarding a request for verification of a late payment that is currently being reported on my credit report. The specific account in question is as follows : Account : XXXX XXXX  ( Account Number : XXXX ) Despite my initial request for verification of the reported late payment on the XXXX XXXX account for the month of XX/XX/XXXX, I have not received any documentation from your agency that supports the accuracy and completeness of this reported late payment. 

As stipulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I am entitled to receive a response from Equifax within 30 days of the receipt of my letter. This response should include comprehensive documentation that verifies the accuracy and completeness of the information being reported on my credit report. 

More than 30 days have now passed since I sent my initial request, and I have not yet received any of the requested documentation. It is important to reiterate that credit reporting agencies are legally obligated to provide accurate and timely responses to consumer requests for information verification. 

In light of the fact that the legally mandated timeframe has elapsed without a response, I am formally requesting that Equifax Credit Information Services take immediate action to remove the reported late payment from my credit report for the XXXX XXXX  account for XX/XX/XXXX. Furthermore, I kindly ask that you provide me with an updated and revised copy of my credit report, reflecting the removal of this inaccurate information. 

Understanding the significance of accurate credit reporting, I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. I anticipate a timely response containing the necessary documentation and an outline of the measures taken to rectify the inaccuracies on my credit report. 

Thank you for your cooperation, and I look forward to a swift resolution of this issue.

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low
Sub-issue: Late or other fees

Complaint:
I have a savings/checking account with TRUIST. The Bank charges a XXXX XXXX  monthly maintenance fee when the savings account balance is below a certain balance. ( {$5000.00} ) I contacted Customer Service and notified them that they had been debiting the account improperly when the balance was high. I, the consumer had to provide them with the dates of the debits and the balances. Although I identified more than a dozen instances of improper charges the claimed to have an internal limit on what they could refund for these improper debits. They admitted the error, refunded just {$75.00} ( 5 months ) and claimed no liability for more charges dating back to at least XX/XX/XX/XX/2022and beyond. 
On a second call to their service line they admitted the error and said, sorry, {$75.00} is all we can do. 
One can only imagine how many consumers are unaware of this improper fee collection.

Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive notice of right to dispute

Complaint:
Midland Credit Management filed a small claim lawsuit against me for an account that was allegedly purchased from XXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a summons to appear in court for a Pre-trial conference on XX/XX/XXXX via XXXX in which I did. At this hearing, a mediation date was given for XX/XX/XXXX, again via XXXX. I attended this hearing as well and requested that I receive validation of the claims. I never received any of the information in which I requested to receive. I have since learned, ( XX/XX/XXXX ) that a garnishment has been issued. Upon reviewing the information received from my employer, it has been discovered that all ( excluding summons ) court dates were sent to an address in which I had not resided at in almost 20 years. It is with great concern that this was a deceptive practice as summons was served at my correct address.
