Best Answer

If you are opening a savings or checking account, the bank doesn't care about your credit because you won't be able to do anything unless you put money into the account. If you're applying for a credit account, of course they are going to look at your credit history to see if you will be likely to pay them back for what they loan you.

What can you do with a large check if you have poor credit and cannot open a bank account?

Most banks in this situation would be willing to open an account. The check is for a large amount and drawn on a reputable company. Unless you have judgment(s) pending, where a bank account could be levied, there shouldn't be any problem. Walmart (believe it or not) will accept anyone with even a small opening deposit, regardless of credit status.


Would a deposit appear on your bank statement as a credit?

Yes. A deposit is a credit and a withdrawal (check, debit card, etc.) is a debit. For example, you open a checking account with $500: Opening Balance $500 this is a credit (+) You write a check for $25 this is a debit (-) You write a check for $82 this is a debit (-) You make a deposit of $250 this is a credit (+) You write a check for $28 this is a debit (-) Your balance is $615 If you were to write a check for more than your balance of $615, then you would have a negative (-) balance.


Can you reopen a credit card that you closed?

Yes, you can request your issuing credit card company or bank to reopen your credit card that you closed. I did that with one of my credit cards. However, make sure that you had a good record on that particular closed account and that you check if all the balances have been paid before you closed the account in order not to ruin your credit history.

What can you do if your bank sent you a letter telling you that they will close your account because of a bad check you deposited into your account and could this affect your credit?

Normally if a bank closes your account they will report you to chexsystems, telecheck, or early warning services. If the account is charged off, it may be turned over to a collection agency and in turn it could hurt your credit. It will also prevent you from opening a new account easily
