If you apped for a checking/savings account the most likely reason is the 5 inqs by FIs. Some banks don't like new accounts with a lot of other recent bank accounts and that's generally what is meant. Chex doesn't record actual accounts unless they are negative.

Get a copy of your Chex report. It will have somewhat more detail.

I received my Chex report today and it lists two non-derogatory public records. A quick Google search doesn't return anything useful as to what they could be. How can I go about finding out what they say the supposed public records are? If they're non-derogatory, why are they on there at all?
I also noticed that the report, under the "Names" section has two different names for me, one spelled with an 'e' (and a middle initial that matches mine) and one with an 'o' (with no middle initial, although the correct first/last name spelling).
I plan to dispute the second, misspelled name (as well as an Ally double inquiry).
What would a good despite letter be to fax to them? I've seen plenty of credit despite templates on here but no Chex disputes.Thanks.

Do you have any lawsuits that you were found to owe money on (ex-spouse, business dealings, small claims, etc.)?

I'm just wildly guessing, but that's the only type of thing I could think would be a non derogatory public record that interests Chex subscribers. Concerns about being subject to a court order or levy shortly after opening the account, etc.

Any other type of "public record" I can think of I would classify as derogatory.

Not that I am aware of.
Edited to add:
There is also no mention of anything on my other credit reports from Transunion, Equifax, or Experian.

Well, whatever the label, the public records are likely what the problem is. Chex has an obligation, upon request, to identify these public records so that you can review them.
