You, too, can get your own copy for free (once a year!). I lied about mine being essentially blank - it did show 2 inquiries for accounts I had opened, otherwise it was blank.
Did you know you can freeze your ChexSystems report too?

Totally OT - but I've never actually had Chex in anything but Chex Mix and Puppy Chow. 
OK got my report today.....NOTHING wow, lists my current and previous address, no info on mostly everything, but under pulls about 15 things Alliant CU 4 PULLS and some pulls for car purchases other than that just savings accounts ALLY Bank, CIT Bank, VyStar again for them a car loan....so not sure why my score is low or why Schwab was scared. Called Schwab and they said bank side is quirky like that, BUT set me up with a "plain brokerage account" that has checks and debit card attached....not sure what the difference here is cause that is all I wanted in the first place so alls well that ends well....Thank you all for your comments and advice.....

Short story, applied for a Schwab checking/brokerage account denied (!???) due to ChexSystems score 261 out of 100 to 899....Key factors....Previous debit Inquirey History, Insufficient debit history, Multiple debit inquiries, Recent debit inquiry activity AND chex inquiries may have adversely impacted the score....Schwab also pulled experian, which is currently at 758. So anyone have ANY idea what all that means? ....Any light you could shed on this to help me understand would be greatly appreciated, I never had something like this happen for a checking account.....
Wow! - you have a freakishly low score. Your profile must be activating ALL the panic buttons. Seriously, I have never seen a sub 500 score let alone a score of 261. Take a look at the below table. A 261 is bottom of the bottom tier. What have you done?
Ok - here are some things to look for:
1) Was your SSI entered incorrectly? If the SSI # does not match name it's a fraud red flag.
2) Do you have multiple addresses under your name or a lot or recent address changes? This suggest someone that may be evasive.
3) Have you opened a few checking and/or savings accounts recently? This is a fraud alert and possibly suggests money laundering.
4) Have you bounced a check in the last 5 years?
Your credit score is fine but, ChexSystem has tagged you as untouchable.

LOL THAT Tom, is WHAT I am trying to find out....unfortunately the "inquires" on this report have also recently GRANTED me loans so not quite sure what the fuss is all about...SS is right, addresses are right although both of them show up 3 times each....everything else is no info...so beats me "what I did" I lived live, I guess that pisses off ChexSystems....LMAO
This is the first time EVER I was turned down for anything because of this agency, even all the inquires they show - ALL have opened an account or given me the loan......kinda strange......kinda funny (ONLY because I got what I wanted in the end). Go figure....
