So apparently I had a very strange situation with a bank... In August of 2013, a checking account was apparently opened in my name in a bank I've never used and used for a few attempts at transfers or bounced checks.
It only had the original deposit to open the account of $50, but after a few checks or transfers without funds, the negative balance grew to over $1000 in the red by November.
Now I'm still not entirely sure if I've been cleared of this because the investigation is still ongoing, but while it's investigated and they decide whether to bill me the $1000+ due, they sent me a "customer appreciation" check for $125.
That's the really bizarre thing... I may or may not owe them a grand, but they're sending me $125 because I was nice about it?!?
Now I've only been made aware of this whole situation in the last month, and I have no memory of ever having any sort of dealing with this particular bank, so this is all kind of weird.
But it's my word against theirs, and they do say the account was opened "legitimately" in that it has my name, address, phone and apparent signature. I have no recollection of it, and I don't really have a way of proving it's *not* me at this point.
But hey, for now, $125 check... so there's that.
Why can't my life ever be simple?
