M&T Bank DOES manipulate their system to INCREASE THE CHANCES of accounts being put into the negative so they can hit you with NSF fees. I am so tired of being ripped off by these people. I hope all their unethical practices one day be shed to light. It is funny how a payment that has been showing in my account when pending, all of a sudden doesn't show. Just in time for M&T to clear THEIR FEES AND GET THEIR MONEY INSTEAD OF DOING WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO AND CLEAR MY TRANSACTIONS FIRST!

M & T Bank/Mortgage company are thieves and we don't who the investor's are I begged for more than three years for them to help me because of a bogus broker I dealt and made a loan with them base on their promise to refinance me in 6 months to date I am still in court and with one of their worst broke that anyone can imagine, and nothing has changed when it is convienent for them to show up with a lawyer they will, but if not you can forget it. M & T has some of the nastiest people to ever be employed working for them and you know in these hard economic times, if M & T is boasting a multi billion dollar corporation they have ripped so many home owners off it is unbelievable. We just don't know yet, but I do believe that every thing done in the dark will come to light and believe me, M & T has lots of dark areas, they just not have been exposed as of yet. It is obvious that government is behind them and is in support of all their wrong doing because the consumer is being taken advantage of consistently. IT IS WHO, and HOW who ever the key players are that are getting away with this. In 2008 MR. Bush gave M & T Bank/Mortgage 3.6 Billion Dollars to help homeowners do loan modifications. Did M & T help any of the homeowners no they did not and they still want you to pay for these outrages loans, that definitely fall under the category of Predatory Lending, and they work diligently with their brokers to ensure entrapment of homeowners so buyer beware. DO NOT DO ANY TYPE OF BUSINESS, BE IT REALESTATE, BANKING OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF BUSINESS WITH A BANK LIKE THIS BECAUSE OF their FALSE HOOD, AND THE WAY THEY ACTUALLY GO ABOUT DOING BUSINESS, AND TREATING THE CONSUMERS. ALSO, HOW MANY JUDGES AND LAWYERS HAVE THEY PAID OFF TO ASSIST THEM IN TAKING OUR HOMES.

file a complaint with NY State Dept. of Banking and the NY Office of the Attorney General - M&T Bank is a bad faith and deceitful banking practices bunch of criminals - the NY state dept of banking is on to them - the more folks that complain the better for all of those harmed by them

M&T has assigned my account to an agency, First American, that is exploring my options and has yet to really push on the issue of foreclosure. I am concerned that they have begun the filings already and are just dragging this out but can not know for sure.

starstarno starno starno star by Anonymous From Harrisburg, PA on April 29, 2009

They refuse to take off the PMI rate that increases my mortgage payment each month, even though it has been ten years that I've been paying. They refuse to work with you. Their attitude is pay or foreclose, no in-between. They don't want to work with homeowner's that are struggling to keep their homes.

starstarno starno starno star by Anonymous From Jamesville, NY on April 27, 2009

It's M&T Mortgage Division that is dangerous - stay away from them. I'm not sure if they're just incompetent or wildly corrupt. Trust me - they treat you like dirt and I'm a conscientious, bill paying taxpayer who's been done wrong.

M&T bank is harassing me for no reason. UP to 10 time a day I get calls from them asking about a payment. Hey PEOPLE CHECK YOUR RECORDS the payment is made at a local bank and has never been missed. Keep calling a letter is going to the Attorney General Office next time

I fell be hind in my mortgage 4 months. M&T called and told me pay the next month so it does not go to forclosure the day right after i pay it goes to an attorney better yet when they send me check back they have the amount as the check number and the check number as the amount. Washington needs to help this bank is not helping anyone at all. I am fileing a complaint with the state against m&T

I have talked to their loan customer service depts and have gotten so many different responses, a few of their reps even told me to be late with my payments for two months before they will even consider a loan workout. Then other reps would say that's not true, then other reps would tell me to be late. It's ridiculous.

starno starno starno starno star by Anonymous From Annville, PA on February 25, 2009

bilked me out of thousands in NSF fees, now want an outrageous amount of money to avoid a sheriff sale. Nothing like their "understanding life is important" marketing.

REFINANCE SCAMMER - THEY PROMISE YOU ONE REFI RATE, SEND OUT AN APPRAISER WHO CAN'T APPRAISE A CUSTOM HOME. KION THE MORTGAGE AGENT FROM M&T ADMITTED THIS BUT THEY DON'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP YOU OUT EXCEPT TO CHANGE THE RULES OF THE REFI. I AM TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE WITH GREAT CREDIT, GREAT JOBS, ALOT OF EQUITY IN THE HOME. M&T BANK ARE IN BED WITH AN APPRAISER WHO IS FROM ANOTHER COUNTY FOXCO , THERESA FOX , SHE SPENDS 20 MINUTES INSIDE AND OUTSIDE YOUR HOME (LARGE, TWO ACRE HOME) AND LOW BALLS YOUR APPRAISAL SO M&T CAN COLLECT $1,000 MORE AT CLOSING. WE JUST HAD AN APPRAISAL EXACTLY A MONTH BEFORE THAT WAS $140k MORE THAN M&T'S - I AM FILING COMPLAINTS EVERYWHERE - WITH THE STATE OF VA, MD - ALL OVER THE NET. HOW CAN THESE PEOPLE BE LEGALLY IN BUSINESS?? THEY DID THE SAME THING TO OUR FRIEND - THE EXACTLY SAME THINK. THEY TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE LOCKED IN, SEND OUT THEIR DISCOUNT APPRAISER, SEND YOU THE WRONG APPRAISAL VIA EMAIL. YOU CALL AND TELL THEM OF THEIR MISTAKE. THEY CALL YOU BACK MANY DAYS LATER AND TELL YOU THEY HAVE SOME BAD NEWS FOR YOU - IT IS GOING TO COST YOU AN ADDITIONAL $1,000 TO CLOSE - NO THANKS, YOU SCAMMERS. THIS IS MY MISSION - TO PUT MY COMMENTS ON EVERY WEBSITE I CAN FIND ABOUT KION AND FOXCO APPRAISAL CO FROM MANASSAS (WE LIVE IN LOUDOUN CO BUT THEY SEND AN APPRAISER FROM ANOTHER COUNTY). THEY MESSED WITH THE WRONG PERSON!!!!!!!!!

M&T Bank wildly manipulates the timing of checking account withdrawls and deposits in order to cause non-sufficient funds incidents (and therefore to collect NSF fees) whenever possible. Not a problem if you have the means to carry a large balance in your account, but very dangerous for those with limited means. What they do is apparently not illegal, but it is undoubtedly immoral and predatory. If you have any choice in the matter, you should steer clear of this institution.

They don't seem to want to cooperate with their clients. It's as if they don't live on this planet and have no clue about what is going on with the economy because they ignore all the plees to do a modifacation of the loan so that people can stay in their homes. Other banks are helping. I Guess they just dont care for the business.

M&T Ruthless, Cut Throat, Throw you out in the street on Christmas Eve, and back over your dog on the way out.. Terrible... Unethical... Morally Corrupt Money Mongers...

Stay far away from M&T Bank and entire Company. They are liars and thieves and no govt agency that is supposed to be over them will help you. They apparently have a lot of influence from their very lucrative business ripping people off! You are warned. Stay far away.Somebody needs to do something about this company! Do search and see the complaints against. Also see current lawsuit against them with charges of unethical and illegal actions committed with HUD. They will also never try to make right when they have wronged you. Soon all will know about this company and those who protect them.

Had a penalty of 5% for prepayment and was charged over 7% or they would not release mortgage. couldn't get any answers from anyone and had to do everything in writing. They did not want to give an explanation for the 2 extra percent or 3,000 dollars. Had to pay or would loose more paying 2 mortgages at once.
