My godfather has been struggling to speak to a live person all day to activate his new debit card. Despite waiting for hours, the system keeps restarting or disconnecting randomly. After entering his card number, he gets transferred to a "live" agent but faces long wait times due to high call volumes. This delay is preventing him from accessing his military benefits. Any suggestions for alternative contact methods or phone numbers would be very helpful in this situation.

While I was away, I realized my Disability direct deposit was missing from my card when I checked. After speaking with a Direct Express customer representative, I learned that a new card was sent out with my funds. Since I've been away due to a family member's illness, I haven't been able to confirm if the new card arrived. I rely on this money and was unaware of any card replacement while I was out of town. I desperately need access to my funds. Can someone assist me with a solution so I can receive my money promptly?

I need to reach out to Direct Express regarding my Social Security funds not being direct deposited. I was previously informed that new cards were issued, but as I have been out of town since mid-October and not receiving mail, I am unsure if I received a new card. I need this money urgently as I am currently without funds. Please advise on the appropriate contact information or phone number to resolve this matter promptly and ensure I receive my money.

I recently reported my lost or stolen card and a replacement was sent out on November 21. However, it has been over a week and I have yet to receive it. Despite trying to reach a customer service representative, I am unable to speak to someone directly. The automated system instructs me to check my account, but I am unable to do so without the new card number. This situation is causing me distress as my bills are approaching and I am in need of guidance on the next steps to take.

Upon entering the website, I encountered a prompt requesting me to create a new user ID and password. Subsequently, upon navigating to a different page, I was presented with an image containing a white and tan dog with the name KELLEY and the username WALKER. I am not identified as WALKER, and the message advised me to contact Direct Express. Despite attempting to reach them, I have been repeatedly disconnected after waiting for hours and calling back immediately on three separate occasions. How should I address this issue to ensure that everything is in order?

I am with AT&T, and I have set up automatic debit card payments for my bill. Recently, I was informed that my payment was declined even though I have enough funds in my account.

Ssi transferred my funds to Express Direct because I didn't have a bank account at the time. The card was not delivered to me, and my money is now on the card. I've been attempting to call, but due to high call volume, I can't get through. SSI was unable to assist me. We changed my payment method to deposit into my new bank account, but two payments have already been processed, and I have no access to the funds. I urgently need my funds and would like them to be deposited into my bank account. I have not registered for a card with your service as I never received one, and I'm new to receiving SSI benefits.

Earlier this morning, my Direct Express card was functioning properly. However, when I was grocery shopping for about an hour and a half, my card was declined at checkout despite entering the correct PIN. Subsequently, I attempted to contact Direct Express customer service at 1-[redacted] to resolve the issue, but have been unsuccessful at reaching anyone for over 9 hours. Currently, my calls go unanswered, leaving me without access to funds for food today and over the weekend. This has caused me significant distress, and I am unsure of what steps to take next to address this problem. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I received my new Direct Express card and activated it with no issues. However, when my funds were deposited, I faced a big problem. I've been using Cash App to pay bills by linking my Direct Express card. This month, Direct Express is not approving my requests to add funds or transfer money to Cash App. I've been trying to reach customer service all day, following the prompts, but keep getting disconnected. My bills are now late, and I can't make online purchases. I need help to resolve this issue.

Yesterday on December 2nd, [redacted], I received my disability benefits. I transferred some money to my husband using Cash App and tried to use the ATM multiple times. Unfortunately, it displayed an error. Later, when I attempted to use the cash register, it showed a declined message. I believe my account may have been frozen. I kindly request assistance in unfreezing my account so that I can access my funds. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I appreciate your help in resolving this issue promptly.

I previously contacted Direct Express regarding the payment issuance. They informed me of two pending deposits. I am concerned if the second payment might have mistakenly gone to a different Direct Express account. The direct express representative couldn't see the other pending deposit. After requesting to speak to a supervisor, I was granted permission but got disconnected without a follow-up call. I suspect this pending deposit dates back to November when my account was compromised. It has taken over a year and a month to receive these delayed payments. Three tracers were initiated, each lasting up to 6 weeks, and the Social Security Administration has advised Direct Express to make the payments. The account was compromised in November [redacted], and on March 14, [redacted], the case was closed one day before the scheduled payment on March 15, [redacted]. I would appreciate it if Direct Express could investigate the location of the missing payment. Thank you.

I have encountered multiple charges on my Direct Express card that are not going through. Direct Express customer service is always busy, and it's frustrating dealing with the high call volume. This situation is very unprofessional, especially considering this card is intended for individuals with disabilities. I am considering taking legal action as I feel this lack of response is discriminatory. My main issue revolves around several transactions from Amazon. The payments appear as reviews, and I have been charged multiple times, depleting my card balance. Amazon advised me to contact my bank, but the inability to reach anyone at Direct Express is hindering resolving this issue.

After being discharged from a 2-month hospital stay, I realized I no longer had my Direct Express card. On November 30, [redacted], while verifying my identity at the social security office, we ordered a new card with the help of a representative. I was told it would arrive within 2 business days. Despite that, it's been longer than expected, and the automated system states a replacement was issued on October 10, [redacted], not the one requested on November 30, [redacted]. I am seeking assistance in resolving this matter promptly.

I recently needed to update my last name with Direct Express, and they requested that I email my documents. After submitting them, I called back to check on the status but encountered a rude customer service agent. When I requested to speak with a supervisor, the experience worsened. The supervisor was also unhelpful, refusing to listen to my explanation and abruptly ending the call when I attempted to provide my ID number. I had been on hold for an hour before this frustrating encounter.

Hello, I am Sharon H. I'm having trouble with my Direct Express card. I downloaded the app, activated the card, and set my PIN. However, when I tried to use it at the ATM, it kept saying the information or PIN was incorrect. I'm positive I entered everything correctly during activation, so I'm unsure why I can't access my funds.

On December 3rd, I made several Amazon orders, but the payment was stuck on pending. Despite my attempts to contact customer service, I was unable to speak with anyone regarding the held transactions. Amazon attempted to charge $70.90 and $47.99 separately, causing an issue with insufficient funds due to the pending status and a delayed charge. As a result, my card was locked due to suspected fraud, preventing me from accessing the remaining $29.30 balance and an upcoming $[redacted].00 refund from a canceled order. I am awaiting the refund between December 9-11th as per Amazon customer service, but I need assistance unlocking my card to retrieve my remaining balance. Unfortunately, I have been unable to reach a live representative to verify my identity and address these issues due to high call volumes causing disconnections.
