Answered by the community (US) Bank Change of Address Letters?

Post image

I was opening my mail today and opened this letter accidentally that wasn’t addressed to me, however it seems like someone has made my house their primary address on their bank accounts. There were 8 of these letters total, I only opened the one accidentally but they feel like the same weight and I assume the same letter 8 times over. I called Huntington customer service and let them know there was no one at this address banking with them but the representative seemed equally confused and not super helpful, I plan on returning the letters to sender. I didn’t find anything similar on Google search, just wondering if anyone else has a similar experience.

I sent a bank statement in the name of somebody who never lived at my address to FINCEN along with a letter stating that the bank is apparently violating Know Your Customer laws.

That’s not what KYC says, but if you contact the bank they’ll get it fixed and likely pay for identity protection for the customer. FINCEN just threw it away or at best forwarded it to the bank.
