Some bank did not use chexsystems as their main checking account for bad records account holder.For an example,Capital Bank of North County has two branch locations, in Carlsbad.They actually uses Telecheck instead of ChexSystems e-fund upon verifying new accounts.

So, it is not the same system even though it is similar usage, which is to check account holder records.However, not all branches for Capital Bank of North Count uses Telecheck system.Most of them uses chexsystems e-fund to track previous records of people applying for accounts.So, just try it out Capital Bank of North County branches in Carlsbad.

If you are in Wisconsin,or near to it, there is one bank that offers no chexsystems. Norwest Bank that located in Milwaukee reportedly offers their “Get Checking” money management class.They will for those with a negative in their ChexSystems record. They will grant an account after completion of the class. Norwest has locations throughout the state and in a good part of the country, so we’ld like to hear if this option is available elsewhere too!

Also, apparently at some Wisconsin branch locations of TCF National Bank, some account reps are eager to open new accounts and will skip the ChexSystems verification process. The branch locations at the Jewel Osco stores don’t use ChexSystems at all, we’re told. Also, the branch location at 5500 West Capitol Court in Milwaukee is very good! If you learn of any other branches where this happens, let us know! Also, be aware of their “funds availability” policy for new accounts. You most likely aren’t going to have access to your money until two weeks after your first deposit.

Ask the average American who or what ”ChexSystems” is, and you’ll get a blank stare. The unlucky people who do know about ChexSystems are usually painfully aware of how severely it can affect their lives. If you are on ChexSystems’ list, you have probably experienced the pain and frustration of not being able to open a new bank account, write checks, or use an ATM card (the core banking conveniences that everyone seems to take for granted). Unfortunately, millions of Americans are on (or have been on) the list, and are unable to enjoy these banking conveniences.

If you are on the list, it is important for you to know what ChexSystems is (and what they are not). ChexSystems is not a bank or a financial institution. Instead, they are a large consumer reporting agency (CRA) that maintains a nationwide database of banking customers who have been reported for writing bad checks, defrauding banks, having unpaid bank debts, or having too many “non-sufficient funds” (NSF) items. ChexSystems is owned by a large publicly traded company, eFunds, Inc. ChexSystems tries to (and has succeeded!) keep a low public profile. They don’t have a company Web site, and it is relatively difficult to find information about them.

Like the other large CRA’s (such as Experian and TransUnion), ChexSystems tries to distance itself from the problems it causes, claiming that it is simply a provider of information, and that it is the banks who use ChexSystems’ data who are the bad guys for turning customers down for new bank accounts. ChexSystems’ marketing materials claim that the company has no responsibility for the decisions banks make, stating that “ChexSystems neither approves nor declines accounts for banks and credit unions. The decision is entirely up to them.”

This is a convenient position to take. However, the fact is that ChexSystems (like the other CRAs) is not perfect. They make mistakes and errors can find their way into consumer’s records. The problem is that an error in a ChexSystem record has a severe and dramatic impact on a consumer. Even a simple error in a consumer’s banking history can prevent that customer from opening a new bank account (or could even result in the customer having their current banking relationship terminated!). That is a LOT of power for a CRA to have.

Other consumer’s find out that their banking record has been ruined as a result of identity theft. For example, a common scheme for some identity thieves is to open a bank account under someone else’s name, using a stolen social security number, and then take out a payday loan or two using the assumed identity. The funds are then withdrawn from the account, and the account is abandoned, eventually resulting in an account closure or NSFs. Unfortunately, the person whose identity was stolen now ends up on ChexSystem’s list. Unless you take steps to clear this situation up, you will be stuck on ChexSystems’ list (even worse, you’ll be stuck there for five years or more!).

As a consumer, if you have been informed that you have a bad mark in your ChexSystems’ file, you need to act quickly to try to resolve it. Unfortunately, ChexSystems doesn’t make it easy for you to clear up a bad mark (even if it is clearly in error).
Lots of people have never heard of ChexSystems until they have some banking problems. Then, you may be told the bad news that your bank account is being closed because you are on a list maintained by a company called “ChexSystems”. Then you need to find out: What is ChexSystems?

ChexSystems protects banks from fraud however ChexSystems at times prevents folks from being able to open a bank account that made a banking error like leaving a bank account overdrawn for a period of time. Even worse a bank can close an account that is in good standing, when a different account owned by the same person, at a different bank, has been defaulted on and reported to ChexSystems!
People that can’t open a checking account need an alternative that allows them to be able to bank while listed on ChexSystems, fortunately there are 2nd chance checking accounts.

Second chance checking accounts are useful when ChexSystems stops you from opening a
checking account? Get a second chance checking account with no credit check! It gets even better! If your payroll or income can be direct deposited there is no fee for direct deposit!Second chance checking accounts mean no more standing in line and paying high check cashing fees.

Just got information that California Bank & Trust is starting to Non chexsystems checking account.Some reports that if you can show that all incidents have been paid accordingly without any bank problems,and also you can convince them you are not planning to do anything stupid like abusing your checking account with them, perhaps then can make an exception to their ChexSystems policy.Some said they will grant you an account.But it may differs from bank branch to branch since not the same person handling the account banks.California Bank & Trust had branches at TherHacienda Heights, Crenshaw, Pomona, Torrance-Del Amo, Gardena, Costa Mesa, La Palma, Long Beach, Oxnard, Alpine, Carlsbad, Temecula, Kearney Mesa, Vista, and La Jolla have all been reported as good without chexsystems bank check. However,Mountain View, Hacienda Heights and downtown Los Angeles were reported as bad.But it doesn’t hurt to try it either in case they already changed and accept non-chexsystems method.
