Consumer Complaint: I no longer have access to transaction details on my account nor am I able to see the escrow balance. I was told that it was due to me being in an active bankruptcy. My mortgage payments are up to date and bankruptcy should have no bearing on my ability to see what is going on with my account. There have been numerous occasions where my payments were not applied appropriately. I am currently waiting on money to be moved to my escrow account that was paid to M & T on XX/XX/2019 ( {$1200.00} was for my mortgage payment and {$2100.00} was for my escrow account ). I have called 3 times to get this taken care of. The amount of {$2100.00} was a refund from a previous home owners insurance company. I was able to catch this because for several months I had access to online detailed account information. The money was placed in a suspense account when I clearly specified online where the money should go ( there are fields for principal, late fees, escrow, etc. that allow you to enter the dollar amount to apply ). My escrow account is currently negative because of this. This also affects my monthly payment when the time comes for the escrow analysis. With a negative balance, my mortgage payments will definitely increase. Trying to call in to make a payment is a joke. It may take 2 days just to reach someone. It appears that because I filed bankruptcy, M & T wants to make it harder so that I get behind, when I was never behind to begin with. My reason for filing bankruptcy had nothing to do with my mortgage or inability to pay. Not being able to see detailed account information at any time is a problem. I should not have to wait 30 days for a statement in order to catch any errors they may have made. If my payments were applied appropriately each month I would not be as concerned, but, they have.

Consumer Complaint: My name is XXXX XXXX. My mortgage is through M & T Bank. I missed a mortgage payment due to illness. I entered into repayment plan with M & T on XX/XX/19. I was to pay {$1000.00} on XX/XX/19. {$880.00} on XX/XX/19 and {$880.00} on XX/XX/19. I paid in XXXX. I received a letter dated XX/XX/2019 outling the terms of the repayment plan. I received a call from M & T Bank on XX/XX/19. Initially, I was told that the agreement was broken but when I asked to speak with a supervisor, I was told that the M & T worker who made the agreement in XXXX was not supposed to make that agreement. I was asked to enter into another agreement extending to XX/XX/2019. I am concerned that I will get another call in a few days stating that the plan was broken or they made another mistake. I would like M & T to honor the agreement outlined in the letter I received on XX/XX/2019. I can be reached at XXXX. My email address is XXXX XXXX

Consumer Complaint: I have had a mortgage refinancing with M & T bank since 2012, FHA streamline mortgage. This bank has consistently increased my mortgage payments despite the fact I paid escrow shortage every time. They are essentially committing fraud and preventing me from paying off my mortgage sooner by increasing the amount per month annually despite the escrow shortage being paid. I have asked them to resolve this issue to no avail and even asked to pay escrow separate and they refused because they will lose out on the interest. I have lost a lot of money with this banks business practices and need them to be investigated.

Consumer Complaint: Applied to refinance our home with XXXX XXXX NMLS # XXXX at M & T Bank. We were never told about paying points. When estimate came to us it had {$3700.00} in points on it. It took us emailing and calling 10 days to XXXX with finally a response. XXXX tells us on the phone dont worry about it because our appraisal ( we paid for {$550.00} on XX/XX/XXXX to M & T ), the LTV was so great, we dont have to pay points anyways. XXXX told us to sign the estimate docs to keep process moving forward and he will fix it. This refinance is going on almost a 2 month process. The next estimate we get from title company still has points. XXXX XXXX, Mortgage Processor NMLS # XXXX, was assigned and I told her from the start the points were supposed to be fixed to Zero points before the settlement estimate is completed. XXXX tells me that on XX/XX/XXXX the underwriter submitted the change and she never followed up. XXXX tells me she never heard back from us-I shouldnt have to constantly keep on top of M & T Bank to make sure they are doing their jobs. We have back and forth emails with us asking them is it fixed? When can we close? Etc. XXXX follows up and tells us XXXX lowered the points by half ( which would still be {$1800.00} approx ) out of our pocket and he also reduced our loan amount by {$500.00} without speaking to us! XXXX has never followed up or spoke to us since XX/XX/XXXX. All communication has been through XXXX since this date. XXXX has requested XXXX to contact us twice in which he has failed to do so. This whole process has wasted almost 2 months of our time!

Subissue: Cashing a check
Consumer Complaint: https : XXXX ( as reference ) Unfair and abusive Acts - why is there a fee to cash a check on an account from the financial institution that holds the account? I was given a check drawn on M & T bank account for {$800.00} I went to M & T to cash it and since i was not a M & T customer they wanted to charge me 2 % of the value {$16.00}!!! This is a check drawn on a M & T Account. This appears to be common but is abusive and should be prevented. The account holder has contracted M & T to provide that service, why is the beneficiary being charged?

Consumer Complaint: XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXXM & T Bank credit reporting dispute : This discrepancy on my credit report was disputed with XXXX. The outcome has resulted in insufficient change to the report. The information that disputed and is indeed false was incorrectly verified as correct by XXXX XXXX to XXXX. This notice is attached ( A ). This Account, XXXX, is correctly identified on the credit report as opening XX/XX/XXXX. The first payment was made on time on XX/XX/XXXX as evidenced by my bank statement from that time ( Attachment B ). Ive included the second bank statement showing the on time payment ( Attachment C ). I can provide evidence of every single payment being made on time, however it seemed excessive. Especially since XXXX XXXX is WELL aware that every payment was made on time. I filed Chapter XXXX bankruptcy in XX/XX/XXXX. This loan was not included in the bankruptcy. I signed and submitted a reaffirmation letter XXXX XXXX, however they did not sign and return it in time for it to be filed with the bankruptcy. The month I filed is the month that XXXX XXXX is reporting as the date of 1st Delinquency. Indeed this is not the case as I have provided proof of payment from XXXX XXXX for that month as well as every single month on time from XXXX ( Attachment D ) when the account was sold to M & T bank. Attached is the email from XXXX notifying me of the change effective XX/XX/XXXX ( Attachment E ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX as serviced by M & T Bank sent notice on XX/XX/XXXX of new account XXXX. Statements showing this change and on time payments since that time are attached ( Attachment F )
