Were You Denied Credit or a Bank Account?

You could be denied credit, a car loan, a mortgage loan, and more

Errors in ChexSystems credit reports can be fixed. Consumer Attorneys can assist you if you need help.

You may not be familiar with ChexSystems, but if you own one or more bank accounts, ChexSystems is probably familiar with you! ChexSystems is a check verification service and consumer credit reporting agency. As a consumer reporting agency, however, ChexSystems reports only negative information (if any) about one's bank account activities.

If Customer A has made a number of banking errors in the past with no positive activities, ChexSystems has a record of that. If Customer B has made the same number and type of banking errors but also maintained a number of positive banking activities, they could still be listed with ChexSystems. In the end, both bank customers could be equally denied when applying for a new bank account or credit.

The term “guilty by association” applies here since many huge financial institutions have banned individuals from opening accounts or being granted credit due to being on the ChexSystems list – even if a good portion of those banking interactions and relationships were favorable.  

To add to the angst, the criteria that banks have used to determine who should be reported to ChexSystems has been riddled with inconsistencies and disparities. Due to a broken system, the Greenlining Institute and the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco discussed the need on how to reduce banks' reliance on ChexSystems data when contemplating opening consumer accounts. 

What Could Be on a ChexSystems Report?

ChexSystems covers the gamut with any negative activity, including:

  • Overdrafts
  • Bounced checks
  • Unpaid balances
  • Identity theft
  • Signs of fraud
  • Number of accounts applied for recently
  • Account closures

Being associated with ChexSystems isn't just about being denied a bank account; you could be denied credit, a car loan, a mortgage loan, and more. Has this happened to you? If so, give Consumer Attorneys a call! There could be errors on your ChexSystems report, such as bounced checks that were never bounced or account closures that never took place – the list goes on!

Consumer Reporting Agencies Operate With a Broken Wheel

Unfortunately, consumer reporting agencies have garnered a negative reputation for mishandling consumers' disputes regarding remedying errors on their reports. Consumer reporting agencies have been sluggish with making the dispute process easier and more transparent since consumers are not their clients – banks and lending institutions are.

If you were recently denied a bank account or credit due to inaccurate information listed on a ChexSystems report, you should have been provided with a free copy of the ChexSystems report, ChexSystems’ contact information to dispute errors, and a summary of your rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).    

Since consumers do not pay consumer reporting agencies, consumer disputes can be shoved under the rug or handled shabbily. When one's FCRA rights are being violated by ChexSystems, one has the right to sue.

According to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, discontent with credit/consumer reports regarding inaccurate information continues to dramatically rise. So, what does one do if damaging errors have embattled one's chances of opening a bank account or getting credit? Contact Consumer Attorneys!
