Consumer Narrative
I have spoke to XXXX several times on several different occasions to CLOSE my account, I never funded the account. I express concern that if there was a data thief, they would have access to this closed account. The online access portal is still active showing this account. I just receive an email about " XXXX Checking statement is now available, Account ending in XXXX ''. I feel like I'm being harassed and the company refused to CLOSE this account.
