Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Opening an account — Unable to open an account
Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I would like to reopen my bank account at PNC but they are refusing to take my account. I have many returns from XXXX that total {$5000.00} because PNC is not willing to take the cash returns because the things were purchased with that bank. 
I returned many items to XXXX but they are insisting they can not give me credit for the items I returned except on PNC Bank. 
My account was closed but I did receive a check for {$980.00} yesterday so obviously that right could be done but PNC is still refusing to reopen my account. It was closed without my approval for no reason. I had no suspicious activity which is the only legal reason to close an account against the customer. 
They never even physically saw me after I opened the account and had no legal basis to close it.
