JPMorgan Chase & Co. Credit Card Complaint

Closing/Cancelling account

JPMorgan Chase & Co. Credit card department,

Closing/Cancelling account Maryland

In - I was looking to do a balance transfer on a high interest credit card I had. I wanted to see what terms I would be given for the Chase Slate card so I went through the application process and wanted to compare the terms I was approved for to those of a loan from my bank. To my great surprise the account was opened without my authorization with terms that I did not find ideal. I called Chase and explained what happened. The representative said she would close the account. I specified that I did n't want the account closed since that would affect my credit. She acknowledged that and instead said she would cancel the card as if it was never opened. A month later, I checked my credit report and saw that my score dropped - points because the account was, in fact, opened and then closed after - day. I called Chase today, -/-/2017, to explain this situation. At this point I was simply trying to reopen the account so that it did n't show up on my report as an account that was open for 1 day, an attempt at undoing some of the damage that Chase did. After being escalated to managers twice and speaking with - different people, I was told that Chase could n't reopen the account or do anything for me. I explained that Chase damaged me twice by first opening the account and then closing the account without my approval. The account - again reiterated that there was nothing they could do because the account was marked as " voluntarily closed by customer. '' I told her that was incorrect and, technically, fraud since I never asked for the account to be closed. She then hung up on me.
