I recently discovered that I have six open cards with Green Dot. I need assistance closing five of them that I do not have in my possession. The card I have ends in [redacted] and is linked to my upcoming social security disability benefits through direct deposit. My current financial situation is challenging, so I cannot afford any errors. Just to note, there is $60 remaining on one of the cards that I could really use at the moment.

I recently purchased a GreenDot card at Dollar Tree, thinking it was a straightforward card to use, only to learn it's a legitimate banking company. I discovered I need to be 18 to use it, but I'm only 16. After realizing this, I tried to get a refund at Dollar Tree, but it seems unavailable according to the receipt. Upon calling the helpline, I wasn't able to process my refund and kept getting a message about my $[redacted] balance. I'm eager to get my money back, despite knowing it may take up to two weeks for the refund to go through. I'd appreciate any assistance with this matter.

I recently purchased and activated a Walmart MoneyCard that has been blocked, even though it is undamaged and safe in my possession. The name associated with this card is Jesse B. I have repeatedly uploaded the required documents as requested, but the issue remains unresolved. The only discrepancy is my old address on my ID. I urgently need access to my funds as I am falling behind on bills. Please contact me at [redacted] or [redacted] to provide assistance or speak with a live representative. I am willing to provide additional personal information such as date of birth and SSN to resolve this matter promptly. Thank you.

I have been unable to register due to repeated errors when trying to call for assistance for the past three months. It is clear now that this company lacks empathy for its customers. Despite having five accounts with them (3 Gold Cards, 1 Credit Card, 1 Debit Card) totaling a little over $[redacted], I have faced issues since [redacted] without ever speaking to a representative. I am now exiting this company and moving my accounts to a different one that values customer service more than profit.

I bought a Green Dot card on August 31, [redacted], at Walmart in Texas. I loaded $[redacted] onto the card, activated it, but when I tried to use it, it was declined. The message said I needed to verify my identity. I followed the instructions and uploaded a picture, but then Green Dot said they needed a better one. I've taken a picture of my driver's license at least 50 times now. I'm very frustrated with Green Dot at this point. I've used their cards before without any issues, so I just want a refund.

I purchased a prepaid Visa card and loaded $47 on it, then I contacted Green Dot to request a refund before activating the card because I was uncomfortable entering my Social Security number. The refund of $47 was due on September 11, [redacted], but as of September 18, [redacted], I have not received it. I am unable to speak with a live representative to address this issue as my card remains unactivated. It feels like my $47 has been taken from me. I urgently require my refund, would appreciate tracking information, and insist it arrives promptly. Kindly email me promptly to resolve this situation and reimburse my funds.

It has been almost a year since I purchased and loaded $[redacted].00 on a Walmart gift card for my disabled son as a Christmas gift. Immediately after buying it, I drove back home to verify the funds before putting it in a stocking for my child, who was looking forward to Christmas. Unfortunately, the card had already been registered, creating an ongoing issue. Despite many frustrating interactions with unhelpful customer service agents who were rude and uncooperative, my problem remains unresolved. With another Christmas approaching, neither I nor my attorney have received any response from Greendot following our efforts to rectify the situation. A letter requesting a replacement card with the original amount paid due to fraudulent activity was sent to Greendot in December [redacted] but faced delays due to holiday schedules and my personal health struggles. It wasn't until April [redacted] that I could follow up on the case, with the legal firm sending Greendot a detailed explanation along with the initial correspondence. I hope this final attempt to reach a resolution with Greendot will avoid the necessity of taking further legal action.

I have a Mastercard account with a balance of $0. Recently, I bought a Green Dot Visa at Walgreens, added $[redacted], and paid $1.95 for the card. However, when I tried to activate it using the app on my new phone, the AI system associated my details with my Mastercard account instead of the Visa, preventing me from accessing my funds. I have the receipt and card number, but despite numerous attempts, I couldn't resolve the issue. I'm eager to speak with a live person to sort this out. My name is Philip Shaw, located at [redacted] O'Farrell Street. You can reach me at [redacted] for further assistance. Thank you for your help.

I need assistance regarding my tax refund. The funds were deposited into a Green Dot card without my knowledge. When I try to access the account information, the system does not recognize my birthday after verifying my social security number, forcing me to restart the process. I am unable to provide the card number to access customer care. I would like to know where the card was sent, if it has been used, and if I should take action against potential fraud. The funds are crucial for my family. Please help resolve this issue promptly.

I am writing to address the issue I am facing concerning a lost card. I have attempted to reach out to your corporate office without success, leading me to feel frustrated by the lack of communication. Unfortunately, I am unable to provide the card numbers as it was lost before activation, leaving me unable to contact you via phone. Despite having the Dollar General store where the card was purchased intervene on my behalf and provide all necessary documentation, no resolution has been reached. I have a deadline approaching on the 30th of this month and am hopeful for a timely resolution. The inability to speak to a live representative compounds this issue, which I suspect is not an isolated incident. I am kindly urging for a response by 3 p.m. today to avoid escalating this matter to the Attorney General's office. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

I mistakenly loaded money onto the wrong card, and despite requesting a replacement card from the company, I haven't received it. I can't reach anyone on the phone without the card details, making it impossible to resolve the issue and retrieve my funds. After three years of failed attempts to contact customer service, I am frustrated and contemplating sharing my negative experience on social media. The inability to access my funds has left me feeling helpless, especially since I've been persistent in seeking a resolution. I urgently require the return of my money but have faced significant obstacles in the process. This prolonged struggle with retrieving my funds from this prepaid card is unlike any other I have encountered. I sincerely hope for a prompt resolution and request a live person to reach out to me for a direct conversation to address this matter immediately.

I recently received my payment but encountered a security block that prevents me from accessing the funds on my Green Dot card. Despite submitting the requested information over two days ago, I have not received any updates or been able to speak with a representative. This situation is frustrating as I urgently need the money I earned. Being new to this job, I am experiencing financial hardship with no access to my funds. It's essential that someone reaches out promptly to resolve this matter. My name is Kyler Hale, and my account number is [redacted]18. Please contact me at [redacted] or [redacted], or via email at [redacted] or [redacted] I appreciate a swift response.

I bought a Greendot Cashback Visa debit card at my local Kum N Go with $20 on it. When trying to activate it, I received an error message saying the card was inactive. The store couldn't help, redirecting me to Greendot. Despite many attempts, I couldn't reach a live person, only unhelpful recordings. I need assistance with this issue. I want to avoid leaving negative feedback for Greendot, but I will if necessary to get help. Please respond to me regarding this problem. Thank you for your time.

Hello, I deposited my payroll check last night, but it says it won't be available until 9/28! I'm unable to wait that long. Will it always take a week for my checks to clear? If it won't be available until next Friday, I'll need to cancel the deposit and cash it elsewhere. This is my payroll check, and I cannot wait that long for my money. I also haven't deposited since June 16; will that affect the processing time? I urgently need answers as I have bills to pay. Please inform me if the funds can be made available sooner, ideally by today or Monday. Thank you for your assistance. Best, Sherry

I'm Keith von Soosten, and I recently reported a lost card, leading to its blockage. I received the replacement card (ending in [redacted]) today via FedEx. I'm struggling to reach a live representative to activate the card. Trying to input my date of birth (11/05/[redacted]) for verification is yielding an error. The system also requests a photo ID upload, but I only have internet access through my phone and can't comply. It seems the card activation process may take up to two business days, which is concerning. Additionally, I was informed that my direct deposit routing number would remain unchanged, as my payroll is linked to this card.

I am having trouble reaching customer service. I was asked to sign up and download the app even though I already have a card. I provided important personal details, but cannot reach anyone via phone. Am I being charged $9.95 a month for this service? I am frustrated and still looking for a place to pay my bill. Additionally, I was confused by the fact that retail locations may not be able to accept bill payments. I urgently need to speak with a representative over the phone. Kindly provide the contact number via email. I want to pay my bill without being enrolled in the $9.95 monthly service. If this is what I have been enrolled in, I strongly object to it.

I have reached out to customer support twice but have not received a confirmation email, causing me concern. After contacting Apple support three times and providing screenshots, they indicated that the issue lies with you as I have been charged by Apple but not by your service. I am seeking an urgent resolution. The representatives I have spoken to could not provide clarity, only mentioning that my issue is being escalated. Corporate at Apple has confirmed the issue is on your end. It is essential to resolve this promptly as my card is currently unusable, and I am adamant about not losing $[redacted], regardless of fault. I apologize for the direct tone, but the excuses I have encountered are unacceptable.

I added funds to my Green Dot prepaid card, purchased at a local 7-Eleven in Lemay on September 10, [redacted]. After registering the card, I paid my Metro PCS cell phone bill online. Around 12:38, I received a message that my Metro account was closed or terminated. Despite contacting them for three days for a refund, I was unsuccessful. I am requesting a refund from Green Dot since Metro PCS confirmed that I paid for services I didn't receive due to my compromised accounts. I intend to close my Green Dot account after the refund is processed as my phone got disconnected. I am currently experiencing a lack of resources and transportation, and my funds are running low. I need to speak with a live agent urgently, please.

I recently received an email indicating a payout of $[redacted].46 processed on September 21st at 7:43 A.M., which already reflected in my account. However, another payout email for $[redacted].01 was received on September 20th, [redacted], at 2:59 P.M. I am concerned that the earlier deposit may have been missed, and I don't want to lose that money. Could someone please reach out to provide a solution to this matter? You can contact me via the email provided or directly on my cell phone at [redacted]. I trust that this can be resolved promptly so I can continue using your prepaid services, as I've had positive experiences with your service and customer support in the past. I will await a resolution to this matter. Thank you, J. Anderson

Hello, my name is Frederick T. I lost my wallet with all my identification and credit cards. I received a new card in the mail but got locked out trying to activate it through the automated system. I know my account details and personal information, but they require an ID to unblock it. I can't provide one since I lost all my IDs. Please contact me urgently. Once my account is unlocked, I can get funds transferred to pay for a new ID and transportation. Thank you for your prompt response.
