The worth bank ever! I opened a CHECKING account (...

The worth bank ever! I opened a CHECKING account (no request for credit card, loan, etc.), provided all information including my ssn. Also I was offered a "free" book of checks, which seemed nice...

BUT in 2 weeks I received a mail that my account is suspended because I did not provide ssn and I need to come over to show my ssn. I went to bank and found out that the guy who opened my account left a day ago! I did not have my ssn card with me, they said that an operator should have taken a copy of my ssn and this was his mistake. However, they refused to resume my account. I decided to close my account and leave this awful bank.

In 2 weeks I received a bill ($20) for check book which was offered for free. The most awful is that the account was closed when they sent this bill and I have never received this book.

BEWARE! I have a hard inquiry in my credit report from TCF bank for opening a checking account.
