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.
