We have been customers for years paying a car loan from M and T Bank and the payments were automatically drafted out of the bank. At the end of the loan, we received a phone call from M and T Bank wherein they demanded a payment of over $1,000. When I asked why, M and T Bank stated that we were two weeks late on our payment. I asked M and T Bank why they didn’t automatically withdraw the payment as they have done for years. M and T Bank stated that the loan had come to mature and the balance was due. Several years back, M and T Bank sent out a Christmas time skip a payment option, wherein a customer could skip a payment and M&T would simply extend the loan payment out so that the customer would make the payment later when the monthly payment was added on at the end of the loan. We did this one time over the years of the loan. M and T Bank mysteriously couldn’t locate this option in their records, even though our record showed there was never a late payment and there were no missed payments.
