Consumer Narrative
I bank with M & T Bank for over 10 years. I received a letter sometimes in XX/XX/2023 stating that I needed to call the bank to update my personal information on our joint account. I did so via phone and was asked to provide my citizenship and employment information. When I asked if my spouse needed to update here information as well, I was told that no need for that as I was the only person that needed the update. On XX/XX/2023, I found out that M & T bank froze all of our accounts, rejected my direct deposit from my employer, returned couple of payments ( credit card and car payment ) I am now going through a financial hardship as a result. I called the bank and spoke to a supervisor as he was able to identify the issue. He removed the hold that was placed on both of our accounts and advised that I will need to deal with employer and the other companies who payments were rejected. We have never received an official notice that our accounts are going to be frozen nor we received any notice about updating my spouse personal information. I need this matter to be investigated and requesting a remedy from M & T bank to compensate for this financial hardship that was caused as a result of the lack of communication and disclosure to consumer. Thanks in advance for your assistance with this matter. A Congressional complaint will be filled against M & T bank followed by this complaint to your organization.
