  "I wrote several letters to Bank of America to dispute
   the information that they reported to ChexSystems.
   They totally ignored me and never even responded.
   But a short time after I notified the Attorney General,
   this is what Bank of America sent to me:

June xx, 2000 Dear [Edited] On June xx, 2000, we received an inquiry from the State of California, Department of Justice on your behalf. We appreciate the opportunity to respond to this inquiry. To research we turned to [edited] in our Executive Customer Relations Unit. [Edited] researched your account with the information provided, and removed your account from ChexSystems reporting. Thank you for taking time to write and for allowing us the opportunity to be of service to you. Sincerely, [Edited]

We show this here to motivate you to do the same.
If you feel the incident was due to a bank error but they won't cooperate with you, then contact the Attorney General in your state. If you feel the bank violated state credit law or the FCRA, then contact the Attorney General in your state. There are a hundred reasons why you should contact the Attorney General in your state.

If you are in the mood, find the individual at the Treasury who has oversight over your bank (scroll to the bottom of the list for the larger banks) and write them also!

You might also want to consider filing a complaint with the Federal Reserve, which will forward your complaint to the appropriate agency should the bank not be under the Federal Reserve's jurisdiction. While we are on the subject, the FTC will accept your complaint online, but only uses it for generating statistics.

Please let us know if you find success with this method and also tell us the circumstances surrounding it so that we can share with others the techniques which work the best. We monitor the forum on the ChexVictims.com website so you can post your request there.
