Consumer Narrative
On XX/XX/XXXX, I went to the Chase branch in XXXX, Wisconsin to open a new bank account, because I received a coupon via email, saying chase is offering a {$900.00} reward for new accounts. It took me more than XXXX hours driving to get there. The staff there recommended their premier checking and saving products, and everything get done by about 5pm that day. Chase staff also reminded me to set up direct deposit and transfer {$15000.00} into the new account in order to get the new account reward. After I returned home, I transferred in total {$10000.00} into the new Chase account via XXXX in the following days, from another bank account of mine ( BoA ). There were three transfers in total because XXXX has daily and weekly limitations. The transfer detail is : {$3500.00} on XX/XX/XXXX, {$3500.00} on XX/XX/XXXX, and another {$3000.00} on XX/XX/XXXX ( the receiving time may be different ). I also set up a direct deposit to the checking account. The next salary was supposed to be paid on XX/XX/XXXX ( bi-weekly ). Then on XX/XX/XXXX, I found that I can not transfer money from checking account to my saving account. I thought that maybe there may be a delay in the system, so I waited until XX/XX/XXXX. I found that I still can not do anything about my accounts, so I called the Chase asking why. They told me that they have decided to close the account, and refuse to provide any explanation. Right after I made the call, I found that I can not log in to my account via Mobile app or Website. They just locked everything and told me to wait until the closure is complete. I can not even manage my credit card any more ( I also have a Chase credit card, and already set up auto payment from the Chase checking account. So if they keep locking my account, I will get defaulted next month ). My employer is supposed to pay me on Friday, and since they locked my account, I don't even know where my salary goes. I called their XXXX branch, their customer service, their anti-fraud center, etc., a lot of departments. All of them kept saying that this is a final decision and there is nothing they can do, and I will never be able to open any accounts in Chase because they put me on a blacklist. There is even a guy saying that this is their right to do anything they want. Seriously I don't understand why Chase is doing this. This is irresponsible, offensive, and disrespectful. All I did is I drove a long way to Chase and opened an account, then deposited {$10000.00} in there. Then without any alerts, they shut it down and caused me so many troubles. As a consumer, I felt unfairly treated.
