Regions Bank Account Or Service Complaint

Checking account Account opening, closing, or management

Regions Bank account or service department,

Checking account Account opening, closing, or management Texas

While signing up for a checking account at Regions Bank, the banker asked me if I would like to opt-in or out of overdraft protection. The camera on my motorcycle helmet was left on, though not intentionally, and recorded me verbally telling the banker to opt-out of overdraft protection. So I go home and notice I have a hard inquiry on my credit report and states from Regions Bank. I also noticed through my online banking profile that I was enrolled in overdraft protection. It was confirmed that Regions Bank would only do a soft pull and it would not show up on my credit report, but since I was enrolled by the banker into overdraft protection without my legal consent it resulted in a hard inquiry instead of a soft. So now my FICO score has dropped by - points and will take it months for it to recover. Time in which will set me back drastically as the inquiry will stay on my credit report for 2 years.
