TCF Bank Michigan

[Venus]

I opened a checking account at TCF bank today (thanks MCA for the list). I asked lots of questions. You MUST get your first box of checks from them - they get them from Hartland Clark. I hope that is a "safe" resource for checks. Is it?

 

Also, they do run a credit check and get your credit score. They said a handful of accounts have been closed based on the results, so I do not know what they look for. My credit report is not good; however, I do not owe TCF any money, so I hope they don't close it. I don't know what their criteria is.

Your welcome........... I have heard a few people here n there say accounts were closed after they were opened, so I guess that explains it. Did they tell you if they are looking for a certain score? Did they pull your chexsystems report?

 

Yes I believe Hartland is a good one so no worries there. Please let me know if it all works out.

I haven't received any word from them telling it's closed but I will call tomorrow and find out. I wonder under what conditions they close accounts. Do you know? I owe them nothing.

From what I was told it was always IF you owed THEM money, not any other bank. I was kinda shocked they told you that credit was an issue

They didn't tell me credit was an issue. They said that they have to run a credit report and that, based on what it has said for some in the past, they had to close a handful of accounts.

 

I called them today and my account is fine.
