HI Folks:
With the Patriot act--in place, and now they are requiring the banks to fill out 5 seperate pieces of paper for each new acct--the Banks just didnt have the manpower/time to be in full compliance..
NOW comes the software developers,,as well as the 3 Credit Bureaus--They have ALL now offered some type of 'new acct opening" software that does this + more:
a.) it will not only run a credit check on you--either hard or soft pull
b.) they are now searching the database for what they call the "loosers" data base--specifically for folks who try to change their ssn, address to go undetected//
c.) The automatic "Search" searches banks/bureaus/court records/EVERYTHING!!
d.) they can program it to check for similar names/ssn/address to get a "hit"
e.) if you come up on the "hit list" they flag you--and will either not open the acct or close it shortly thereafter..
here are some of the articles Ive found, relating to this..
SO--BOTTOM LINE--BANK ACCTS MUST BE IN YOUR OWN NAME--DONT EVEN TRY OTHERWISE--you will cause your own names to be linked to a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ ssn, (variation of your ssn)etc..
