In one case the account was closed before I even got my account number in the mail. Solely due to Chex inqs.

This is why I never close down an unneeded checking account unless it's costing me money, because you never know when you'll need it again and they are a lot harder to open in quick succession.

But maybe in your case the "real" reason was $9k in MOs deposited to a brand new account over the course of a few weeks?
