First Merit Bank Loan Fraud Parma Heights Ohio

I have been banking at the Parma Heights branch of

First Merit for years. They suddenly got rid of all the

front office staff and got a bunch of new people in.

One new genious took it upon himself to apply

for a loan in my name, ss# etc. for $72,000. I never requested this or knew about it until I got a rejection letter. I have complained to the fraud dept., branch manager, ceo and others-yet I have just been ignored. This is identity theft and apparently they condone it. My credit score dropped from excellent to fair because of this. When I talked to the branch manager he just laughed and said I did not understand. He said it was just an inquiry but it was not. I got a rejection letter that clearly said loan application was denied. These employees have access to customers and co-workers personal info and can pull this scam at anytime. If you have any accounts or know people with accounts at First Merit-close them asap for your own protection. If you have been a victim of First Merit I encourage you to post a review and warn others. We have to look out for each other as First Merit employees could care less-even the CEO. Good thing they will not be in existance for much longer.
