Most of our dear major banks do a hard hit on your credit report when you open your own checking and/or savings account with your own money! But hey, once you press the Spanish button, apparently the existence of SS# is conveniently forgotten. Oh, and something else.

I wanted to cash my own check, I wrote my check, I signed my check, I slid my bank card through the machine and then was asked to provide photo ID before I could cash my own check drawn on my own account at my own bank.</i> On the other hand, somebody slapped my account number (taken from a stolen check of mine... never mind the ONLY check I write) on another (washed) check looking nothing like mine, with a name of a business!!! on it, a signature nothing like mine, and it happily went through! :-( I was honestly told they don't check a darn thing unless a problem like this occurs.
