A:
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. It sounds frustrating and confusing, especially since the bank initially accepted the check and opened the account. It's understandable that you feel deceived given the sudden change in their requirements.
The best step is to contact the bank directly, either by visiting a branch or calling customer service. Explain your situation calmly and ask for a detailed explanation of why your access is being restricted and what specific documents or actions are needed to resolve the issue. Document all communications for future reference.
If the bank's response is unsatisfactory, consider seeking advice from a legal professional or consumer protection agency. They can provide guidance on your rights and any possible actions you can take to resolve the matter.
