Indiana Banks offer Second Chance accounts
to those complete a
class.
Interestingly though, ChexSystems helped put
together the class. Hopefully they are not
profiting from it as that would signal a
conflict of interest.

Time to call in the feds!
We are starting to see a trend where certain banks,
including Bank One, have been performing repeated
inquiries with ChexSystems. Each time a bank or
credit union requests a copy of your record, that
request is tallied at ChexSystems. If ChexSystems
sees three or more requests in the past ninety days,
then that fact alone carries the same weight as a
negative "closed for cause" record. In effect,
these banks are stopping you from going to a
different bank.

The motive surfaces. Union Bank of California
purchases check cashing joints. Further
proof for our argument that ChexSystems is a
tool being used by the banks for practices that
should be (and probably are) illegal.
