Re: Denied for Apple Card due to recently closed checking account

The account went negative due to a fraudulent transaction from a merchant, after I had cancelled a subscription. Then I was unexpectedly assessed 2 overdraft fees and US Bank closed my account without giving me notice that my account was charged/overdrafted. Isn't that a valid reason to dispute it?

The listing is accurate, so disputing with Chex isn't going to help. 


To change what US Bank's understanding of the events are, your best avenue to discuss it with US Bank themselves, using the facts you presented here: 


US Bank charged me two overdraft fees X and Y. These overdraft fees would not have occurred and my bank account would have remained current if not for the transaction(s) US Bank determined as fraudulent Z, A.

 

ie. If it wasn't for the fraud, I never would have overdrafted.

Because of this, a listing has been made on my Chexreport for these overdraft fees and subsequent account closing. Would US Bank be willing to look into what happened and remove their Chexreport listing as a result of the circumstances surrounding these overdraft fees as because of the fraudulent transactions, they never should have been applied to my account in the first place.

Re: Denied for Apple Card due to recently closed checking account

They seem to be the solo card issuer hung up on this issue. 

I have a friend who applied also. He closed his checking account and opened a new account at his Alma matter CU, no derogatory remarks at all on his checking account. But because he closed it, Goldman Sachs got spooked because of that and the Apple Card was declined. 

they also would not do a recon.

Thank you for that suggestion. I reapplied a week later, after freezing my ChexSystems report. I've been approved for a $2,000 limit.
