Chexsystems is a Credit Reporting Agency (CRA) governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and other laws. Under the Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act (FACTA) amendments to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), they are subject to the same rules and regulations. Chexsystems monitors and reports on your banking activities. It looks for unusual or suspicious banking transactions, overdrafts, cashing checks against insufficient funds and not meeting minimum account balances.Many banks and credit unions use chexsystems when opening a deposit account to determine if the account should be opened.

Will you be removed from ChexSystems even if the balance has not been paid off?

After five years. At least that is how long they kept me in and I paid. It makes no difference if you pay or not. You will still be in Chex systems for at least five years. The only way to get out of chexsystems is to wait the 5 years or file a dispute with either chexsystems or the bank that reported you to chexsystems. There is no guarantee for removal. Paying Chexsystems will NOT remove you. They do however have to make sure their records show that no debt is owed. Chexsystems is a CRA and must adhere to the FCRA. All information on your report MUST be accurate or deleted.
