Consumer Narrative

back in XX/XX/XXXX I tried to open a max rate checking account with e*Trade bank and received an error message that my SSN was invalid, so I called in a spoke with a rep. I confirmed that I previously had an account but it was closed. I was advised if the system was not allowing it to be done online to print and fax the application for a new account which I did. I submitted it and called to check on it later, this went on for about a month. I would call every couple of days to check on the status of the new account and was told it was in review, I was told send color copy of photo ID and SSN, which was done. I called few days later and told to submit again, this happened multiple times. Well almost one month later they finally opened the new account, they opened it up on XX/XX/XXXX which was exactly 3 days shy of being a month that this application for the new checking account had been in review but it was finally opened on XX/XX/XXXX. I called in to inquire about my debit card issuance and was told they sent card to my old address and when the new account was opened they did not update my to new address or update any of my contact numbers or info and still had all the old info. I would have assumed they would have updated everything since all my updated info was provided with the new application that they took a month to process, review and open. So the rep tells me they sent debit card to wrong address as they had my old address and had my new one as a mailing address but she would fix but I needed to send a written request along with a copy of my ID yet again, this was their fault not mine so I Did as they asked after complaining about it. The account was In review to even be opened for a month I would have thought this was already addressed since it took so long to even open. They resend debit card to me to correct address and the day after I activate card IM told my account in restricted. I call in and am told they again need another copy of my drivers license, SS Card and I explained all provided before and they say they cant see. So I upload info and call, to my surprise I'm told more info is needed yet again and a photo of myself holding my ID in the photo which I provide. I speak to supervisor who says they appreciate info being sent but need another photo, now they are holding my funds in the account and won't release even though they have verified the check deposited was valid by the bank who issued it. they have had the funds and check for weeks, if it was bad it would have surely been returned by now as its been three plus weeks, they accuse me of not being the person to open the account and are not returning funds in the account and send letter accusing someone of fraudulently opening account in my name and are not holding my Money and won't return it even though they closed my account a week and a Half ago, this is ridiculous and a joke.
