Consumers closing bank accounts experience extended delays receiving closure checks and account statements despite repeated follow-up requests.

Customers lack effective escalation options beyond slow regulatory complaint channels that take months to resolve. The power asymmetry leaves consumers financially stranded with no enforceable timeline for fund return.
