Consumer Narrative
On XX/XX/XXXX Peoples Bank became M & T bank and without my permission or knowledge they withdrew all the money in my account {$5400.00} and closed my checking account. I filed a claim and it was denied. Banker said it was a debt owed to them by my ex Husband. I have not seen my ex since XXXX and know nothing of his debt and I am not responsible for it. MT needs to contact him. That was my money and my paychecks that I deposited, which I needed to feed my children and pay my mortgage. I am a single mom with XXXX kids, working every day to support her kids by herself with no child support. MT bank has no right to steal my money and needs to return it immediately! MT bank stole my paychecks, Stole my money. they are thieves. I worked for that money to raise my children. they stole the food from my childrens mouths. I want my money returned. They had no right to steal it. This caused a reaction of returned payments on credit cards. I was charged fees and had accounts closed. Including my loved XXXX XXXX which offered 5 % discount on all purchases. I used this account to buy all our groceries and home and personal needs. I am asking for my money back XXXX plus {$3000.00} for fees and hardship caused by MT banks actions. BANKS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO STEAL MONEY FROM SINGLE MOMS AND DESTROY LIVES!!!
