Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Subissue: Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue related to modification, forbe

Consumer Complaint: I was in a hardship and went into forbearance on my mortgage that was held by XXXX Mortgage Company in XXXX of XXXX. Before my forbearance began they did an annual escrow analysis. Because they didnt have the new declaration from my insurance company for the upcoming year they estimated the amount. The estimate was inflated by {$9000.00} from the prior year. Obvious mistake and it took my payment from {$1300.00} a month to {$2700.00}. This wasnt made known to me until I was almost 4 months into my forbearance. I contacted XXXX about this issue numerous times without ever receiving any directions to rectify the problem. Finally they stated that they recognized the problem but they were unable to run a new escrow analysis until AFTER I was finished with my forbearance period. In the meantime my balance of what I owe on my mortgage goes up by {$2700.00} a month instead of {$1300.00}. In XXXX of XXXX they transferred my mortgage over to M & T Bank. Ive spent an endless amount of hours on the phone with representatives from every department within the company. Numerous employees have agreed that there was an obvious clerical error on my escrow analysis from XXXX but there still is nothing that nobody can do to resolve the problem. My last conversation with M & T Bank management team member I had, he stated that there was nothing I could do. I would be responsible to pay the inflated amount when my forbearance period was up. I have been postponing submitting my application to the HAF, homeowner assistance fund, because the total I owe is over twice the amount that I actually owe. My forbearance period will be ending at the end of XX/XX/XXXX.

Issue: Trouble during payment process

Subissue: Loan sold or transferred to another company

Consumer Complaint: Re : Misappropriate mortgage payments Mortgage Loan Number : XXXX I am writing to request investigation and correction of the errors described below regarding the mortgage on my property at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I have previously and historically been allowed to submit bi-weekly automatic payments for the mortgage on the above property since XXXX. The mortgage document I signed did not have any constraints on how payments should be made. During the loan tenure with the prior lenders, XXXX XXXX and then XXXX XXXX the {$600.00} bi-weekly payments were received and applied as intended without error and without late fees. The issue prompting this letter started from the moment M & T Bank gained custody of my loan in XX/XX/XXXX. Even though the schedule of the payments has stayed the same, there have been monthly harassing calls from M & T Bank incorrectly stating that payments were missed, and the loan needed to be brought up to date. In these calls, I have expressed that I send {$1200.00} a month for a mortgage that is {$920.00} a month. And, I have asked them these questions : How are payments being missed? Why am I being charged late fees? Subsequently, am I being charged additional interests on the loan principle? To date, these questions have not been answered. I feel that errors are being made at my expense and that my funds are being misappropriated. I would like for my payments to be investigated and for any errors found to be corrected. If funds are going to be returned, I want them applied to the principle. Please note that this letter is also being sent to the following entities : M & T Bank, XXXX XXXX, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, State of Connecticut Department of Banking, and Connecticut Senator XXXX XXXX. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX

Subissue: Problem with paying off the loan

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2023 I paid M & T Bank the payoff on my loan of {$14000.00} from payoff quote sent to me via fax. I called them next day to ask when title would be sent out. They told me ten business days! I argued all the way up the chain with no luck. I waited XXXX business days and called again. I was told XXXX business days of which I told them it had been. They put me on hold as I had ask to speak with supervisor. She told me it had been mailed that morning and could take 10 days to recieve. I blew my lid and ask if it was coming pony Express and should I be looking for a horse? She hung up on me!! 10 days really?? It has been 16 days now since payoff. They are holding my property! The supervisor tried to make me understand that a payoff using wire transfer would have been quicker than a bank account to bank account that I have used for the whole loan payments. I have spoken to FDIC, no help and Fereral Reserve, gave me this site. I had camper sold and the couple who purchased this, bank was waiting on title from me!

Issue: Getting a credit card

Subissue: Card opened without my consent or knowledge

Consumer Complaint: Received Debit card in mail from M & T Bank over weekend tied to an unknown checking account ending XXXX. Contacted M & T Tuesday morning, XX/XX/XXXX and was transferred to their Fraud division. Per their request provided them with debit card number, and gave them last four digits of CHK account number of XXXX which was on the form with the new Debit card. Informed them that I had NOT opened up an account with their bank and did not want this card activated. XXXX in the Fraud division said that he would close the account immediately. But he also needed MY personal info to authenticate that I was ME. Provided my mailing address. He also needed my social security number and birthdate. Gave him last four digits of my social security number, and while extremely reluctant to share, he also needed my birthdate. In order for him to give me more additional information, I had no choice, and in fact he said that all of my personal data was used to open the account. He confirmed there was {$0.00} in the account ; the account was opened online on XX/XX/2023, and that the Bank automatically closed the account on XX/XX/2023. He had no additional information to provide like the actual location or state where the fraudster opened the account. This should be fairly simple for banks to data mine this info, along with email addresses provided when opening the account, along with IP addresses. He also confirmed that M & T does not have banks in my city. He reassured me that the account was closed, and confirmed that a record of our conversation would be noted on this fraudulent account. Question remains as to how fraudster got any of my personal information as I shred everything.

Issue: Trouble during payment process

Subissue: Payment process

Consumer Complaint: In XXXX, my mortgage was taken over by M & T bank. The mortgage bills comes from XXXX. I have paid each month by on-line banking. The address for XXXX according to the bill is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Texas. For three years, I have never been late on a payment and have always rounded up on my payments. Everything was worked will until XXXX, XXXX. I received a notice in XXXX that said I had not paid my mortgage for the last two months. I looked on line and I had paid both XXXX and XXXX payments. I contacted my bank, XXXX XXXX XXXX and asked why payments had not gone through and they verified that payment was sent to the address above on XXXX and XXXX. I contacted M & T Bank and they responded they had not sent it. I verified the address which is on the bill and I was told that was not the address it should be sent to. Instead it should be sent to XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, MD. When I looked at the bill, the tear off portion of the bill had the XXXX address. When I told him the bank had sent the payments to the previous address, the customer service rep said something to the fact I don't know but it's the wrong address. XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX also sent a letter to M & T Bank explaining the process of the payment to the XXXX address. Another payment of {$2200.00} was sent on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter saying that my payment was delinquent and I owed XXXX {$1000.00} and XXXX {$1000.00} plus my current month of {$1000.00}. Since there was confusion with my on-line banking I wrote a check on XX/XX/XXXX for {$2200.00} which was cashed by M & T Bank on XX/XX/XXXX and I wrote another check on XX/XX/XXXX for {$1100.00} which was cashed by M & T Bank on XX/XX/XXXX. According to the bank I owed a total of {$3200.00} with late fees which I never was late. I paid a total of {$3300.00}. On XXXX, I received a letter from M & T Bank saying I had defaulted on my loan. However, I am in total disagreement and have paid. I'm not sure why the previous three years there were no issues and now they can't receive my payments, even after they have cashed the checks.
