Green Dot Customer Service Issues

I purchased two $[redacted] prepaid cards, one Visa and one Mastercard, at Kilgore Walmart in Texas. The Visa card's last four numbers are [redacted]. I used a neighbor's phone to activate them but later found one card nearly empty and the other with a balance. After contacting customer service, one card was frozen, and the other was emptied without my authorization. Despite providing all requested documents, I faced rude and unhelpful responses. I involved the police, as the neighbor who activated the cards was arrested. I seek assistance in recovering my $[redacted]. You can reach me at [redacted]. I purchased the cards on April 30, [redacted], and have diligently followed all instructions provided on the back of the cards. Your prompt help in resolving this matter is greatly appreciated. Thank you, Kellie Donovan.

I have a Walmart MoneyCard prepaid Visa debit card. I noticed $18 was taken from my account, so I contacted them, and they froze my account and sent me a new card. After waiting two weeks, I activated the new card, but there was a block on it. I had to upload photos of my ID online, and it took two business days to verify and remove the block. They refunded the $18, but now I can't use the card, and they're canceling it, stating I can't have another card with them in the future. Walmart couldn't give me the remaining balance, even though it was visible in my account. I'm frustrated and upset as I didn't do anything wrong to be declined future services due to someone trying to steal $18 from my account. I hope to find a resolution soon.

I visited the local Walmart in Snellville, GA on 10/26/18 and bought a Walmart Money Card for $20. When I tried to register it online at walmartmoneycard.com, I received an error message saying the card is invalid. I entered the 16-digit card number (5[redacted] 0[redacted]), the expiration date (08/20), and the 3-digit code ([redacted]). I revisited Walmart for help but was advised to call the [redacted] number on the card. Upon contacting the number, I faced the same issue of the card being deemed invalid without being able to speak to a customer service representative. After multiple attempts and being redirected to Green Dot, the problem persisted. With my purchase receipt in hand, I urge for assistance in retrieving my money, considering I've encountered no issues with Green Dot cards before. Kindly help me resolve this matter.

I misplaced my Green Dot card with $[redacted] on it. Luckily, no unauthorized transactions have occurred, and I receive daily balance updates. I suspect it's lost but not stolen. My sister and I have connected accounts, but I'm unsure if our card numbers are the same. I want to request a replacement card with the $[redacted] transferred. Please guide me on the necessary steps to resolve this matter. Thank you.

I applied for a secured credit card with a $[redacted] deposit, which was deducted from my account immediately. I received an email requesting more information and was instructed to call [redacted]. Despite calling eight times on different days, I have been placed on hold for 30 minutes each time and asked to leave a callback number, with no response. I would like to cancel my application and receive my money back promptly. If I do not hear back within the next few days, I will consider taking legal action as this level of customer service is unacceptable.

I made a deposit of $50 a few days ago and another $50 today, but my balance is only $40. After spending $11 on a Lyft ride and withdrawing $22 from an ATM, I should have $67, not $40. This error needs to be corrected. You can reach me at [redacted] I plan to take legal action if this is not resolved promptly. My legal name is Antonio Munoz, but I am in the process of changing it.

On 10/17/[redacted], I returned my faulty HP all-in-one computer along with other items. Despite receiving a refund of $[redacted].53 on my Visa Greendot card, I faced payment issues when trying to make another purchase at Walmart. After waiting for an hour on the phone, Mark mentioned that my card had been blocked because Walmart supposedly couldn't refund money to a Visa Greendot card. The manager then clarified that this was a common practice. Mark requested additional documentation, so I submitted a picture of my license, both credit cards, and the original receipt totaling $[redacted].53. Greendot insisted on the original receipt showing $[redacted].53, which was combined with other items. Despite numerous attempts to resolve the issue with different representatives, including Mark and Kevin, none could assist me during this urgent situation while my family member was hospitalized. I am sharing my experience to highlight the frustrating lack of progress despite efforts to rectify this situation promptly. Thank you, Patty Ellis.

My name is Chandler Guy. Someone has unlawfully accessed my account and stole over $1,[redacted] from an ATM in Van Nuys, California. I am in Los Angeles, California, near your home office in Pasadena. I called and got a case number, but have been ignored since then. Despite being promised responses within specific timelines, I have not received any updates via email or phone. My contact details are [redacted] and [redacted] I am upset about being stolen from and the lack of communication from Green Dot. If I don't hear back soon, I will seek legal advice. I believe Wells Fargo, the bank used in Van Nuys, has the necessary information to address this issue. I will escalate this matter further if needed.

I encountered an issue with the service failing to recognize my identity, even though my address matches the one on my state identification card. This prevented me from utilizing the card as the reloadable service it's meant to be, setting it apart from other prepaid visas. There is no valid reason for this lack of identification, and I suspect the system may have overlooked some information that is crucial for me to add funds to my card. I intend to deposit a substantial sum of money onto this card, something not achievable with other prepaid visas, in order to budget specific expenses. This inconvenience is causing a significant financial loss for me with Green Dot. I am eager to have the routing number linked to my card so that I can load larger amounts onto it. Thank you, Brenna.

I recently had to cancel my Green Dot card due to an unauthorized purchase. I had no trouble canceling it and received two new cards. I sent in my driver's license as instructed. However, within a short period, the new cards were cancelled without explanation. I have a $99 Direct Deposit from the Social Security Office, which was supposed to go on my Green Dot card. I am unable to access my Green Dot card and need assistance. My name is Sandra S. L. The old card ended in [redacted] with expiration 10/19, and the new card ended in [redacted] expiring 10/22. Can someone help me retrieve my Direct Deposit?

Yesterday, I spoke with Rachael, the supervisor of customer service, to explain that my card was locked. I had updated my address, requested a printout of the last four months of my Social Security direct deposits, and reset my login information the day before. I assured her that no unauthorized transactions had been made. Unfortunately, she transferred me to a department with high call volume and a longer-than-usual wait time, so I decided to end the call. This situation has left me feeling extremely upset. I mentioned to Rachael that my last transactions were at a tire place and Walmart. As a long-time Green Dot customer, I have never encountered such negligence. I urgently need my card unblocked as I am relocating back to PA and rely on Federal Funds from FEMA due to Hurricane Florence. I am permanently disabled, as evident from my Social Security direct deposits, and access to my funds is crucial. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

I recently purchased a Prepaid Green Dot MasterCard, intending to use it once like other prepaid cards. Unfortunately, I overlooked the age requirement of being 18 since it was in small print on the back. Being 17, I encountered a problem when asked for my SSN during activation, not mentioned on the card. While I've already activated the card, I now face limitations. Is there a way to receive a refund since I can't use the card due to my age? I have the receipt as proof of purchase and activation with funds. If a refund isn't possible, could I still use the card without providing my SSN? Your assistance is appreciated.

On October 12, [redacted], someone from Brooklyn, New York accessed my account and started making purchases. I contacted Green Dot customer service and we agreed to deactivate the card and send a new one, which I received on October 17th. When I tried to activate it, the website requested identity verification. I followed the steps but have not received any response after waiting two business days. Since October 17th, I have been uploading my ID information daily to the site but my account remains inactive. This situation has been very stressful for my family, especially with over $1,[redacted] inaccessible on the card. I am facing the risk of losing my home, and I am desperate for a resolution. Please assist. Regards, Richard B.

My recipient and I both have GreenDot personalized cards. I attempted to send her money through text, but she encountered an internal error message in a yellow box when trying to complete the transaction. I reached out to support, who suggested using email instead. Unfortunately, we both faced the same issue with the internal error message during the email transaction. It's crucial that the system is checked and fixed promptly as both our ends seem to be functioning correctly. I urgently need to send the money and time is of the essence.

I recently obtained a Green Dot card from a check cashing store. I was informed that the card was active, so I set up direct deposit for myself and my wife. However, my direct deposit did not go through. When contacting card services, I was informed that my temporary card cannot receive direct deposits. Despite making a deposit to activate the card and seeing funds on it, I am now unable to access it. I have not received my main card yet and feel stuck. I am unsure if my direct deposit funds are on hold. I am unable to reach a live person on the phone due to limited card access, which is frustrating. I need assistance sorting out this issue as my paycheck stub indicates the funds should have been deposited into the provided bank account information. I appreciate any guidance you can offer to resolve this matter.

I have been a Green Dot cardholder for 13 years. Recently, I received a new card due to the expiration of my old one. Unfortunately, I encountered a fraudulent charge from Cafe [redacted] in Houston, TX. I promptly contacted Green Dot, and they froze my card, assuring me a replacement by 11/15/18. Unexpectedly, another fraudulent charge from the same place occurred on 11/7/18, before I received the replacement card. When I reached out for support, I was given two options: receive a new card with waived fees and expedited shipping or close my account. With direct deposits and bill payments scheduled, closing my account is not ideal after being a loyal customer for over a decade. Experiencing two fraudulent charges within a week from a previously reliable card is concerning. As a senior widow, this situation has left me feeling vulnerable. I hope this matter can be resolved swiftly and provide me with peace of mind once again.

I have been a loyal customer of GreenDot for a long time since it first launched. I have used various GreenDot cards over the years, from the original orange ones to the newest Cash Back Visa. Recently, I applied for the Platinum card, but when I tried to deposit my check via mobile deposit, I was told that I didn't have a strong enough relationship with GreenDot. I have been with GreenDot for almost 5 years, possibly longer, consistently depositing and withdrawing money. I am surprised and upset to receive an email stating that I am not considered a loyal customer despite my long-standing relationship with GreenDot.

I have registered my card but cannot activate it. The system says it is already activated. I have tried at three different locations, and all three said invalid card. I have called customer service about six times, but they are not helpful. Despite the system saying it's active, it clearly is not. When I log into the mobile app, it asks to activate the card, but when I enter the information, I receive an error that it doesn't match what's on file. Green Dot must rectify this. I should get my $7.95 back or, ideally, transfer my funds from the temporary card to my Go Bank card. It's confusing because both accounts are with Green Dot Bank, and customer service confirmed both yet denied the fund transfer due to the lack of a personalized card.

I am extremely frustrated that this issue remains unresolved after months of dealing with it. Despite having disputed charges and successfully receiving a refund, I am now unable to access my account since reporting the issue. I followed corporate's instructions to submit necessary documents but have not received any response. I have sent multiple emails without any reply, seeking urgent attention to resolve this matter promptly. In my correspondences, I highlighted the lack of communication from customer service representatives causing me hardship and distress, affecting my living situation adversely. I expressed the importance of well-trained staff and the need for improved customer assistance. I hope for a swift resolution as I am now facing additional complications with rejected direct deposits, adding further financial strain. It is crucial for customers to have direct access to support, not automated recordings that lead to disconnection. I trust this issue will be addressed promptly to avoid any future inconveniences for myself and other loyal customers. Thank you for your attention.

I am having trouble activating my card after trying online and being charged an activation fee. I am now being asked to submit a driver's license online, which I tried scanning at Fedex without success. I cannot reach a live person at Greendot to get a fax number to send my information. I have tried pressing 5 during the phone call but it does not work as the system does not recognize it. This is causing me stress as I needed this for a bill payment. Any tips on how to contact Greendot would be appreciated. Thank you.
