Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Subissue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Consumer Complaint: I attempted to do an XXXX XXXX cycle with a XXXX clinic, XXXX, back in XXXX for which they fabricated medical information and committed medical fraud. They stated I had XXXX XXXX and could get XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I simultaneously had my primary XXXX perform an XXXX for which I have the medical records stating that there wasnt any follicles most likely but possibly there was one and that I was XXXX. In the end I never got the service that I paid {$8000.00} for and lost in additional {$4000.00} or so on the medication. This XXXX XXXX could not even supply me with medical records that this was attempted or anything which is another violation of medical law. I put this on my M & T bank credit card for which they did refund me the medication amount but the {$8000.00} clinic amount they are not refunding me despite the fact that the merchant stated multiple times that they would give me a refund! I have an email from the merchant stating they would email me dated XX/XX/2023 and the bank is refusing to acknowledge that and take the money back. That is in violation of United States credit laws. If merchant promises a refund, the bank is supposed to take the money back on behalf of the customer, and they are refusing to do so.

Issue: Improper use of your report
Subissue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Consumer Complaint: I am writing to express my serious concern and dissatisfaction regarding the mishandling of my personal information, leading to a negative impact on my credit score. I have recently obtained my credit report from your bureau, and upon careful review, I have identified several inaccuracies and instances of unauthorized use of my information. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C 1681, I am entitled to accurate and fair reporting of my credit information. It has come to my attention that the following issues have occurred : Unauthorized Inquiry : I have identified an unauthorized inquiry on my credit report, which appears to have been made without my knowledge or consent. This unauthorized inquiry has contributed to the decline in my credit score. Incorrect Account Information : There are inaccuracies in the account information reported, including : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXhese inaccuracies have unfairly impacted my creditworthiness. Identity Theft Concerns : The discrepancies in my credit report raise serious concerns about potential identity theft or fraud. I request a thorough investigation into these discrepancies to ensure that my personal information is not being misused by any unauthorized parties. I am attaching copies of relevant documents that support my claims, including proof of the unauthorized inquiry and any evidence that substantiates the inaccuracies in my credit report. I kindly request that you promptly initiate an investigation into these matters, in accordance with the FCRA.

Issue: Trouble during payment process
Subissue: Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Consumer Complaint: I requested to opt out of my escrow account and the request was not approved. My initial mortgage company ( XXXX Mortgage ) gave me the option of paying my own hazard insurance and county taxes because of the amount of my down payment. It was my understanding that my current mortgage company would honor the same provision of the original loan. Since M & T Bank took over my mortgage I over payed my mortgage by over {$7000.00} the first year ( XXXX ), and my mortgage payments for XXXX went from {$740.00} to {$2200.00}. This is because apparently they are unable do determine the amount of home owners insurance and property tax due at the end of the year. I am willing and able to make my property tax and home owners insurance payment directly to my insurance company and county tax office. Thank you in advance for your kind consideration in this matter. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX
