Company: M&T BANK CORPORATION
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/22, I visited the M & T Bank on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, in XXXX Maryland XXXX The teller requested I verbally confirm my social security number to which I responded I was not comfortable doing in a public lobby and then instead I asked for a piece of paper to write it on. 
After my transactions were completed, the teller proceeded to place the piece of paper with my personal information that included my name, address, account, and social security number on a pile on his desk. I immediately identified that to be a security concern and asked for it to be shredded. He said he was unable to do so. I asked if he could at the very least cross out my social security number so that it is not just sitting on a desk where anyone could easily access it. He informed me that the documents will be shredded after 90days of sitting on his desk. 
As I proceeded to inform him about my concerns and as he continued to justify his actions, the branch manager immediately and rudely interrupts our conversation to inform me that and I quote the bottom line is, this is the banks policy, you can take it or leave it and then proceed to ask me to leave now The very next day on XX/XX/22, I closed out all my accounts at M & T Bank as I will not do business with any company or organization or business that does not value me and my business or appreciate my concerns. Additionally, it is very irresponsible and careless for any business to expose a customer 's personal information in this manner leaving them vulnerable to data fraud and identity theft that could cause severe damages to me. 
I am requesting M & T Bank issue a formal apology for how badly I was treated. Additionally, they should reform their policies, processes and procedures for the safety and security of all customers. M & T Bank is responsible for ensuring this at the very least and owe this obligation to customers.

Company: EdFinancial Services
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I called EdFinancial and asked for refund for my payments made during COVID which totaled to around {$1000.00}. After a 2 hour wait, they told me they could process it but I'd need to wait 150 days. I asked how that effect the forgiveness and was told that they have no idea and if I'd like, I can cancel the refund but they couldn't guarantee that my forgiveness would cover the correct loan amount. My husband also called his loan provider and was given only a 2 week turnaround, with the correct loan balance being shown already in his account. Edfinancial purposely makes things difficult for borrowers. They told me I can keep calling and asking for updates but why would I want to wait on hold for 2 hours to speak to someone with an attitude who clearly doesn't know what they're talking about. To ensure I don't have difficulty come time for applying for forgiveness, I would like EdFinancial to to reinstate my balance to reflect the balance that would be forgiven ( current balance + what would be refunded to me ). Other loan providers are doing it and doing it with better customer service a lot quicker. Edfinancial feels like a scam company.
