What type of services does Check Systems offer?

Chex Systems is a credit reporting agency. Unlike Trans Union and Experian, who report on consumer credit, Chex Systems reports on mishandling of bank accounts.


What can a collection agency do if your checking account has been overdrafted and you haven't been able to make any payments?

First off, you never give a collection agency your banking or credit card info, they will wipe you clean, if you have done this, I would clear up the overdraft with the bank so they won't report you to Chex Systems and close the account and open another account at a new bank.


How long does one stay on chexsystem?

I copied this from the Chex Systems website:Each report submitted to ChexSystems remains on our files for five years, unless the bank or credit union that filed the report requests its removal or ChexSystems becomes obligated to remove it under applicable law. The decision to delete a report is entirely up to each bank or credit union and its individual policies.


If you pay the bank you owe will they remove you from the chex systems?

== == The answer is No. Not unless you call and make a formal request. Even then they will tell you it is up to Chexsystems and it will stay on your credit report for 5 years. Chexsystems will tell you to call the bank. My advice is be clear about what you are paying for, ask questions and get names.


Does chex systems remove you from their records five years from the date reported or the closure date?

Five years from the closure date.

Where can you get a checking account if you have bad credit?

Chex Systems Bites is a great site for a listing of banks where you can open a checking account with bad credit. They also have information on how the Chex System works and give recommendations on different banks. You can find the website at http://chexsys.tripod.com/goodbanks.html. Many, if not most banks, do not check your credit for a simple checking account. What they do check is if you've defaulted on a checking account at another bank. If another bank has reported you (rightly or wrongly) you will have a hard time getting an account.
