All Repayment Assistance options are not available with all products, and there is no guarantee that you will receive Repayment Assistance. You are obligated to make all future payments as they come due, even while M&T Bank is evaluating a request for Repayment Assistance. Additionally, M&T Bank will continue normal servicing of your loan up to, and including, referral to foreclosure and repossession during the time it is reviewing your request for Repayment Assistance. Credit reporting will continue, and, if applicable, your loan will be reported as delinquent until your loan is brought fully current. It is also important to note that the request for Repayment Assistance does not waive any remedies available to M&T under the terms of your loan documents. You may be required to pay additional fees/and or costs depending on the type of loan and solution you qualify for.
M&T Bank may be considered a debt collector. M&T Bank is attempting to collect a debt and any information obtained will be used for that purpose. To the extent your original obligation was discharged, or is subject to an automatic stay of bankruptcy under Title 11 of the United States Code, this correspondence is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an attempt to collect a debt or to impose personal liability for such obligation. However, M&T Bank retains rights under its security instrument, including the right to foreclose its lien.
