FirstMerit Bank Bank Account Or Service Complaint

FirstMerit Bank Bank account or service department,

Checking account Account opening, closing, or management Ohio

I have had - accounts at first merit bank for over 20 years. 10 years ago I started selling items for individuals and occasionally have small estate sales. My accounts have always been individual rather than business accounts. In - the bank manager said the bank flagged my account for having too many checks deposited. She informed me they wanted me to change to a business account or to supply 2 years of tax returns to prove I was claiming income from the liquidation of personal property. I complied and gave - ( the other manager ) 2 years of my tax returns which were supplied by my accountant. I had assumed since I had shown that, in fact, I had claimed all income the issue with the accounts was resolved. A few weeks later I received - certified letters stating that all of my accounts were being closed. Quite stunned, I called first merit and spoke with - ( downtown ) and she said they were closing my accounts. I asked why. She said they did not need to explain why because they could terminate a relationship with any of their clients at any time. I had explained that I supplied what they had requested from me, and still wanted to retain my accounts. She said she would submit a request to keep the accounts open & would check to see where my 2 years of tax records showed up. I called her back 3 days later and she said since I did not give them the tax records ( which in fact I did ) as - another teller at the branch confirmed that I did, they were still closing the accounts. I was never given an honest or appropriate reason that the accounts were being closed. I had done what they asked me to do. I believe this is CLEARLY a case of DISCRIMINATION and would like to allow the First Merit bank to explain their actions before I escalate further action against their institution.
