This constitutes securities fraud. Chase Bank failed to disclose pertinent information to the consumer which would have enabled the consumer to make an intelligent decision. 

The consumer was misled by Chase Banks deceptive practices, and believes that these practices amount to identity theft, securities fraud, tax evasion, and various other federal violations. Furthermore, Chase Bank unlawfully utilized the US mail to deliver deceptive forms to consumers with the intention to deny them an extension of their own credit, an act that is illegal for Chase Bank as it does not have the legal authority to lend its own money or credit. This has caused consumers to have a lack of trust in the banking system.
