just got off the phone with them. owe them a decent amount of money that i wont be able to pay back for awhile. said they'd keep the account open for a couple weeks to allow me to repayment, i said i won't be able to pay then. i said put a hard debit block on the account, they said they cant. i say what happens if i just leave it. they say it'll be closed, sent to a debt collector and reported to chexsystems. i'm leaning towards just forgetting about it and being reported. i'm to the point where i'm tired of worrying about this as a debt and am thinking of just writing it off as a bad debt. what do you guys think?


OMG, I have the same situation. With Huntington, I too called the today and was told the same exact thing. I told them I can't 1/2 which is what they need by weeks end to keep the account open. I was just about to post about it when I spotted your post. I have a question...I have another checking account with Chase that I've had for years, will it be in danger and also what all does "chexsystems" effect? She told me it could effect such things as car loans even, is that true?

It can affect other accounts. When I realized I was in danger of being reported to Chexsystems, I opened a new account. My second account was closed immediately following notice from my original bank that I'd been reported to Chexsystems. I would encourage you to confirm with the new bank that they will not close your account. It put me further into debt as I had several automatic payments set up to be paid through the account and all were returned NSF (including one to my landlord) even though I had sufficient funds to cover the payments. I ultimately went to Woodforest National Bank for their "second chance" checking. I know it can be embarassing, but I would definitely confirm with any new bank that they will keep your account open if you are reported to Chexsystems. Key Bank will not.
