hi all, I m sure, many others recv the same cheques that i hv gotten from a huge local bank. it came in as a form of "pre-approved" fund transfer cheques, to my name and ready for banking in to use. So whats the problem ?? Six mths ago i recv the same cheques via post, seeing that I dun need this , so i just tore it and dump away. Suddenly, a NEW fund trx acct line , with my name + acct number, pops up in my cc statement. Wait a min, i didnt have that acct !! After calling the cust svc, it was claimed that this acct existed due to those cheques, and is in an inactive state as i didnt bank in. Boy, I was pretty mad, its like sending me a pre-approved cc without my application / knowledge. He quickly offered to remove that acct no. from my future statement (ie it wun appear anyore !!) I told him off and gave him 7 days to remove it from my acct ( not just erasing it from the bill !!). Now case closed ! Ytd, I recv. the same 3 cheques again ! Immed. i called the cust svc again, and they claimed that there is NO way for me to stop them from opening new fund tfx acct for me ! Here, are what they are doing iaw MAS guidelines (opening pre-approved fund transfer accts w/o owners knowledge/agreement) ? Any bros in the $$ ind can help / advice ? ty ty mice
