JPMorgan Chase & Co. Bank Account Or Service Complaint

Checking account Account opening, closing, or management

JPMorgan Chase & Co. Bank account or service department,

Checking account Account opening, closing, or management California

In - of 2015 I went into a chase branch to open an account. My partner ( a male ) also has chase. We - wanted to have the same banks to allow for easier management. When I tried to open a checking and savings account I was told there was an account already opened up under my name. The rep told me if the account was not mine, which is was not I would have to file through their fraud claims process. Here we are now 7 months later, after chase has put me through hundreds of phone calls to them, endless paper work and documents etc. Chase made this process nothing but easy, all the reps that I would work with at their executive office would never call me back. I would have to call daily and follow up on the account. Finally I got confirmation from Chase bank telling me that they approved my fraud claim and was not liable for anything and non of this would effect me. I was last speaking with a man by the name of - and a woman - -. - - knew my situation and told me once the fraud


reach out to the chase branch and inform them that it was ok for me to open the account. This was about a month ago. Finally after leaving - about a dozen voicemails I never got a call back. So I went to Chase.com and opened the account online. A few days later chase canceled my account. When I called in to Chase executive offices to find out why after they promised they would open they gave me a whole different story. I called to the main number and spoke with a man named - he told me that - was on leave. He told me that I was a risk to the bank and that the bank did not want to do business with me. I said how is this possible? I said Chase put me threw a difficult fraud claim process over 7 months, Chase told me the account was not mine and confirmed it was opened fraudulently. - could not really answer my question, other than to say that It was Chase 's compliance department that would not let me open the account because I am a risk because someone opened up an account under my name. This makes no sense to me! I have been more than pacitent. It is not apparent to me that my initial concerns of Chase trying to discriminate against me as a - male trying to bank at the same bank as my partner are true. How can I be responsible for an account that someone else opened up under my name. Chase is clearly discriminating against me as a - male. Please see attached paper work for the approval letters.If Chase does n't comply with what they promised I have no choice but to turn to social media and let the world know how Chase treats their - customers. I will reach the TV stations, media - etc.
