Has anyone opened a checking account with a bank they have settled with?

You could give it a shot just to see what happens.

That would be very valuable intel to share indeed!

I just ordered my FREE chexsystems consumer report to see if anything is there. These are free...once a year. Just google it.

Hi Dan,
My own thought is that once they have accepted the settlement.....and you have proof and it is on your credit report, I do not believe the reputable banks would not have a problem with this......I think that once it is done and on your credit report, it is done! I could be wrong.....and I don't know if I'd put tons of money in at first (but then, you probably don't have that ....like the rest of us here), but legally, I think it would be hard for them to pull off! this is debtor in CA....everytime, I think I have my password, I cannot sign in. Anyone else have a problem or ....it is probably me.....too much on my mind? tee hee ....good luck Dan and let us know what happens.
I switched to my credit union when I thought that I was going to do the BK and we owed to quite a few banks!!!

Right you are dd. [EMAIL="Ch@se"]Ch@se[/EMAIL] approved my checking account online with my opening deposit of $25. They asked a lot of questions online, obviously checked my cr (because they asked several questions about accounts to identify me), at which point I thought the jig was up... but it was a joint acct and we have kept my wife's credit perfect. So maybe that's it...i'll never know for sure. I got hooked on Chase again (after just settling in April) because they have this awesome iphone app where all you do is take a picture of a check and it gets deposited. How freaking cool is that. Needless to say, my main street bank and trust is a ways off from having that.
