Get a fresh start
It sucks when you have a run of bad luck and you are so tight on money that your bank accounts are running into the negative. People get stuck in ruts and the fees are so much that they cannot pay them back. Well, what happens is you can get your bank accounts closed on you, and that in no way is fun. If that happens you will most like be put on chexsystems. This is a list where banks check your background before they decide to open an account with you. Ok, so if you land on that list go here: Chexsystems – This is the company that runs the bank list. From there, you navigate to get a free report to see what is on there you need to correct. Best thing to do is man up and pay the banks back if it you owe them. Now, if they completely ripped you off or there are errors on your report, than confront them on that. Basically you want to fix your Chexsystems report as if it is your credit report. In the mean time while you are doing that, you should sign up with a bank that will give you a second chance checking account. You really need to correct that chexsystems report because your name will stay on it for 5 years if you don’t touch it.
