M&T Bank
Manufacturers And Traders Trust Bank Refused To Communicate, Lied & Misled, & Piled On Overdrawn Fees While "Investigating"

M&T Bank (4830 Penn Ave, Sinking Spring, PA 19608-8601, Contact Mark Katkovcin 610-776-6424) has joined the masses of banks forcing exorbitant overdraw fees on consumers, even when the overdraw is their own fault.in one case, mine, the phone representative—who is apparently held to no responsibility—said my account was fine, and I intended on closing the account entirely. When I attempted to close the account, I was instead informed I owed them hundreds of dollars. Their manager promised to fix it, then disappeared for six months. Every subsequent attempt to contact was rebuffed until I received a collections letter for almost $1100! That's over a thousand dollars in overdraw fees when the bank was at fault.

Upon contact with M&T phone representative around 05/1, was told that all current balances were okay and explicitly told that no charges would come out of my account. One week later, received $250 in charges. Upon speaking with the supervisor for previous phone representative around 05/10, was told that clearly that I was either lying or wrong. Contacted local bank and district managers to clear up the situation. Their phone representative caused the issue with an inaccurate misrepresentation. Was told by Mark Katkovcin, Administrative Vice President, around 05/14 that he understood and this issue would be cleared up. He passed it on to Sonia Torres at the local bank. A month later around 06/07, I sent an email to Mark Katkovcin asking for an update. I did not receive any response. Around 09/23 I received a collections bureau notice that I now owed approximately $1100. This consists mostly of overdraft fees, extended overdraft fees, and late fees. The actual overcharge is unknown. I had offered to pay the amount overdrawn, and was rebuffed and told to pay the overdraft. I asked for a courtesy refund, and was told that they could refund less than half of the fees. I refused. Around 9/24 I was contacted by the bank vice president stating that since I refused to accept a partial refund they consider the case closed.
