Green Dot Customer Service Issues

My stepson deposited his paycheck into my account temporarily while he saved up to open a bank account. However, after his commission check and regular weekly pay were direct deposited, the card was locked. This left him unable to access funds for work, food, or even pay his phone bill, causing him to lose his job due to lack of gas money. We followed instructions to provide identification and proof of the direct deposits, but after two days, we still haven't reached Green Dot support by phone. We are frustrated and seeking immediate assistance to resolve this issue as it has already caused significant problems for my stepson.

I am writing to address the issue I have encountered with my Green Dot card. Unauthorized deductions have been made from my card since the beginning, even when I am not using it. This has caused me to fall short on paying my bills. I urgently request that the money taken from my card be refunded promptly. I would appreciate knowing the full amount that has been deducted and having it restored immediately. These deductions are affecting my ability to pay bills, and I urge your assistance in rectifying this matter promptly. Thank you for your attention to this issue. Sincerely, RS

I previously had a VIP Green Dot card where I received my tax refund. Unfortunately, it was stolen, and when I requested a new card from Green Dot, they transferred some funds to another Green Dot card I owned. Upon receiving the new card, I attempted to activate it, only to be prompted for a picture ID, which confused me as I hadn't been asked for this before with my other cards. I've been waiting for my tax refund since January, and now Green Dot is requesting additional verification. I'm wondering if there's a way to expedite the process and access my funds sooner. Also, is there a way to speak with a customer service representative at Green Dot directly?

I had been a Green Dot cardholder for a long time before upgrading to a black card. Unfortunately, my black card was lost. When I contacted Green Dot's customer service department to report the issue, I was promised a replacement black card. After waiting for about a month, I received a new card, but I couldn't activate it. Upon reaching out to customer service again, I encountered a rude representative who not only failed to help me but also closed my account. Subsequent calls to the customer service team have been unproductive. Instead of receiving my requested black card, they sent me a gold card which I did not want. I was charged for a replacement black card that I never received. I am frustrated with the situation and simply want my black card reinstated as promised.

During a family trip, we stopped at Jiffy Trip [redacted] for gas. Unfortunately, the station was closed, so I attempted to use my card at the pump but did not receive any gas. I repeated the process at a different pump with the same outcome. Despite the transaction showing as pending on my GreenDot account, I didn't receive any gas or a receipt. When I attempted to use the card again, it was declined, even though I had sufficient funds. The pending charge was for $28.68, and I'm puzzled by this situation as I urgently need the money for an important purpose. Can someone from the forum offer assistance with this issue?

I purchased a card, loaded money onto it, but I'm having trouble activating it. Despite trying 20 times, the system keeps saying the card information is incorrect. This is frustrating as I intended to use the card as a prepaid credit option. I received three replacement cards, but none of them are working either. I would appreciate it if someone could reach out to help me resolve this issue.

During a family trip, we stopped at Jiffy Trip [redacted] for gas. The store was closed, so I attempted to use my card at the pump but didn't receive any gas. Even after trying a different pump at the same store, the same issue occurred. The transaction was deducted from my card without dispensing any gas or issuing a receipt. Subsequently, my card was declined although I had sufficient funds. Upon checking my GreenDot account, it shows $75.00 with a pending charge of $28.68. I am puzzled by these unauthorized charges as I urgently need the money back. Can anyone provide assistance with this matter?

During a family trip, we stopped at Jiffy Trip [redacted] for gas, but the store was closed. I attempted to use my card at the pump, input all the necessary information, but no gas was dispensed. I then tried a different pump at the same location, but encountered the same issue. Despite not receiving any gas or a receipt, my card was charged. When I tried to use the card again, it was declined, even though I knew there were sufficient funds available. Upon checking my GreenDot account, I saw a pending charge of $28.68 alongside my current balance of $75.00. I am puzzled by this situation as I urgently require the funds that were deducted. Can someone assist me with resolving this matter?

I received my first direct deposit yesterday for over $7,[redacted]. I proceeded to make three online payments to pay bills, but my card was blocked afterwards. I was asked to scan and upload my License to unblock the card, but then I was informed that my license information could not be read. Subsequently, my card was canceled, and now I have $6,[redacted].42 that is being held, pending the outcome of the three transactions. After contacting Walmart, their representative called Greendot since my information couldn't be located. I was informed that someone from Corporate will contact me today. This situation is extremely frustrating as I urgently need the funds to pay rent, school fees, and for other daily expenses, including providing for my 10-year-old child. I implore you to resolve this matter promptly. Best, S.

I urgently require the check number and verification details for my tax refund issued to an unreceived green dot card. The previously provided information includes Route # [redacted]0 and Account # [redacted]23, but I am unable to proceed without the check number for my Tax Advocate to reissue the payment. Kindly send the necessary details promptly, as I have been dealing with this issue since March. Resolving this matter promptly is crucial for obtaining housing for myself and my child. Your expedited assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please use my updated email [redacted] for further communication.

I am having significant issues with my Rushcard Live card from Green Dot. On August 28th, I contacted customer service to report a lost card and requested a cancellation and replacement for $4.00. The representative assured me a new card would arrive by September 7th, but it did not. After contacting them again, I learned Green Dot had blocked my card without informing me. I followed their instructions to send a copy of my identification but received no reply. Each time I call, I receive conflicting information, leading me to be unable to access my funds for over two weeks. This situation has left me unable to provide for my child, pay bills, or prevent eviction. I urgently need access to my money and demand a prompt resolution. The lack of communication and assistance from customer service is pushing me to explore legal options to protect my rights and regain control of my finances.

I bought a Green Dot card from Dollar General and was in the middle of registering it when I was interrupted. When I got back, the card was gone, taken by a neighbor. I tried to log in but wasn't sure if I completed the registration. Contacting Green Dot customer service has been unsuccessful as I can't provide the correct information. I do have the receipt and packaging but not the card number. How can I recover the $[redacted] I loaded onto the card without the card number?

My credit card was stolen, I reported it, and my account was locked. After investigation, I was refunded the stolen money, issued a new card and account number. I submitted my ID verification but still cannot unlock my account. I have two paychecks waiting but can't activate the new card. I want to update my account details like my address to [redacted] Twin Lake Drive, Benton, LA [redacted]. I also need help changing my email and password. Please assist as I need access to my hard-earned money. Thank you.

I need assistance with a transaction I made for a $[redacted] Visa credit building card through Green Dot online banking. The funds were deducted from my Bank of Colorado checking account on 09/06/[redacted]. I haven't received the card or any communication about the credit deposit. I've attempted to contact Green Dot using various phone numbers provided, but haven't been able to reach customer service. I'm looking to speak with Green Dot Platinum support to locate the missing funds. I have the transaction number available. Any help would be appreciated as I have exhausted my options. Thanks.

I am 15 years old and was curious about banks and cards, leading me to sign up with Green Dot without realizing they would automatically send a card. I used a random address and now worry about the card being sent there. I tried to log in to stop it, but learned I need the card to access the account. Despite needing to be 18+, Green Dot didn't ask for my birthdate. I reached out on Facebook, email, and through messages to prevent the card from being sent. I apologize for any inconvenience caused and request the card not be sent.

I am deeply frustrated with the service provided. It took multiple emails to address my compromised card, with no follow-up. The promised replacement card was delayed twice, initially arriving at the wrong address. I insisted on a refund for the delay, which caused further confusion. The activation process over the phone failed, prompting me to seek help online, which presented its own challenges. Now, the system is asking for additional verification, causing more frustration. I demand a prompt resolution; otherwise, I will escalate this issue. My patience is wearing thin with these inconveniences. -Tom M.

I had a frustrating experience with a customer service representative who blocked my card without my consent while I was disputing a charge. I am unable to speak to a representative to get information about my card, and I have important bills to pay. My funds are frozen, which could lead to late fees. They mentioned it would take two days after I submit something, but I am unsure about what to provide since I can only reach automated machines. I even attempted to contact them using a different phone, but had no luck.

I recently opened a new Green Dot Bank account online and requested direct deposit along with a card. It has been nearly three weeks now, and despite trying to find a phone number to speak with someone, I have been unsuccessful. I attempted to re-enter my information multiple times. When I called [redacted], the automated system mentioned multiple cards, although I haven't received any accounts or cards yet. I also asked Green Dot Bank to send my direct deposit information to my employer at Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District. My name is Julie J., and you can reach me at [redacted].

I want to report that there is currently a hurricane tropical storm happening in Columbia, SC [redacted].
