My complaint:
Without my knowledge and consent, PNC fraudulently opened a checking account 39-1395-9471 in my name with the initial amount of $0.00, and started sending me the bank statements and the letters demanding from me to fund the account with a certain amount of money, otherwise they would charge me a fee. For the last two weeks, I’ve been trying to close that account. On all those occasions, PNC transferred me to the non-working tel. extension. Today, after my legal warning that I would sue them, after 2.5 hours of waiting and constant transfers they let me speak with the manager who informed me that… once an account is open somehow at PNC, it cannot be closed without the authorization of the top bank executives, and, perhaps, I could submit a request for the closure by personally visiting a PNC branch. The closest to me PNC branch is 40 miles away from me. PNC is engaged in the financial fraud by opening the unauthorized accounts and prevention of their closure by all means. Thus, they attempt to fraudulently inflate the number of its customers for the stock gain. This swindle must stop.
Suggested solution:
Close the account, stop the swindle!
