Company: Branch Messenger, Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the handling of unauthorized transactions on my account with Branch App, totaling over {$3000.00}, following the theft of my phone and debit card on XX/XX/year>. 

On that date, both my phone and card were stolen at a gas station. Unfortunately, my phone did not have a PIN or password, and some sensitive banking information was stored in the XXXX app. Shortly after the theft, unauthorized withdrawals and transfers occurred from my account, totaling more than {$3000.00}.

I promptly contacted Branch App to report the fraud and submitted a claim disputing the transactions. After nine days, the claim was denied. I filed an appeal, which was reviewed and closed within just five days. The bank stated its decision was based on app activity and changes to the ATM withdrawal limit, implying I was responsible. At the time the transactions occurred, I did not have access to my phone or debit card. Despite this, the bank did not make any attempt to contact the merchant ( s ) involved, request surveillance footage, or investigate the matter further. My request to submit a second appeal was denied, and no further action was taken by the bank. I believe this violates protections afforded to consumers under Regulation E of the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ), which requires financial institutions to conduct a reasonable investigation of unauthorized transactions. I do not believe such an investigation occurred in this case.

As a result, I have suffered a significant financial loss through no fault of my own. I respectfully request that this matter be re-examined, and that Branch App be required to issue a refund and comply with its obligations under federal law.

Complaint narrative:
My unemployment check was deposited into my partners bank account with Chase in XXXX, XXXX. Because the check was under my name, they automatically closed the account and have been holding the funds ever since. We have called Chase MULTIPLE times to resolve this. They refuse to send the money back to the Texas Workforce Commission. They lied and said they DID send it back, gave us a fake trace number ( The Texas Workforce Commission stated they never received anything and that trace number was phony ). On another call with Chase, they THEN said they will only consider releasing the funds if they have a verified phone number under my name. Because my phone number is under my parents name, they refuse to speak with me and verify at all. They do not care- they said the phone number has to be under my name. They said the money will be dispensed to the state after two years as unclaimed but they are not allowing me any options to claim it. The entire ordeal is absolutely obscene and they had the audacity to tell us get a new phone. and hung up! They are quite literally stealing my money.

Company: M&T BANK CORPORATION
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
M & t Bank. They used to hold my mortgage before it was bought by someone else. After my injuries became so severe I could not work, and in between the time I started my VA claim and the time I was awarded 100 % with the VA, my mortgage was late. It was 30 days late. And then it got paid every month, without missing another payment. This is called a rolling 30... When you get 30 days behind and no more. This company are recording that the account went 60 and 90 days late which is an absolute lie. I dispute it, and the credit bureaus come back in less than 24 hours saying they have completed the dispute and the information is accurate. That's not even time to do an investigation. I know for a fact this loan was never 60 or 90 days late, not even once. The mortgage company refuses to prove their claims, and the credit bureaus refused to make them prove their claims.

Account number for mortgage company is missing last four digits, as entered. For some reason, the credit bureaus are hiding my own account number from me.
