On this account, the credit reporting agencies are reporting a DATE OF LAST PAYMENT on XX/XX/year>. However, the payment amount is indicating a payment was made of XXXX DOLLARS. This means there was not a payment made on XX/XX/year> and this information is INACCURATE.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Opening an account — Unable to open an account
Company: Early Warning Services, LLC
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is against a consumer reporting agency called Early Warning Services ( full name : Early Warning : Risk and Payment Solutions to Move Money, which is as Orwellian name as possible since I am no risk whatsoever ). 

I just tried to open a basic checking account with XXXX XXXX but was denied and without even waiting for a response from the bank, I am 100 % certain it was because of some bogus " deposit score '' calculated by Early Warning since this exact same thing happened to me 2 years ago. 

I make over $ XXXX, my current XXXX score is XXXX, i.e., EXCELLENT, and I have NEVER had a delinquent bank account. The account I tried to just open is a deposit account and there is no justification whatsoever to be denied based upon my income and credit score, not some arbitrary " deposit score '' assigned by an unaccountable and UNREACHABLE agency ( I repeatedly tried to speak with someone in charge at Early Warning 2 years ago to no avail ). 

These consumer reporting companies ( NOT credit reporting agencies ) need to be held to much higher standards.
