On 3/27/25, I received a monitoring alert that a business account was opened at huntington bank using my social security number. I knew immediately that this was identity theft as I opened no such account. I called huntington on 3/28/25 to report the fraud and was told a report would be forwarded to their security department for investigation. Two weeks later, I followed up and was told by the business department that this is an internal matter and they cannot give me a status update or any information at all, despite me having the case number. Huntington is showing no accountability to me as the identity theft victim, is non-responsive and needs better procedures for handling identity theft reports.
Desired outcome: Confirmation that the fraudulent account has been closed.

Huntington Bank is just terrible to deal with if you are a victim of Identity theft. Their process for handling victim reports is not transparent and they do not communicate at all with the victim, particularly if a fraudulent account was opened.
