I need immediate assistance from Direct Express. I provided an incorrect address under duress where my card is being sent. During a call with Direct Express, I was mistreated and intimidated by a man who now has my card. Please stop the delivery of my card to his address. My name is Rachelle Martin. Although my phone number is not on file, the man's number was provided instead. If you need to contact me, please use the number I am emailing you from: [redacted].

I was mistakenly charged by LegalContract.com for a cancellation two months ago. After contacting them, they assured me they would refund the last two charges to my card promptly. I require these funds to be returned quickly. Additionally, Wish.com wrongfully charged me $[redacted], and those funds need to be released back to my card as the charges were already canceled. Concerning Best Western, I was wrongly charged $[redacted] in September. A dispute was filed for this transaction, but I have not received any further updates on the matter. Your assistance in resolving these issues would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello, I require immediate assistance with my account. Here are my card details: 5[redacted]-8[redacted], code [redacted]. 1. The Hungarian Bank in my current location is no longer accepting my Direct Express bank card, and I am unsure of the reason. 2. Consequently, I am currently locked out of my online Direct Express account due to repeated incorrect password entries. I am reaching out for support to unlock it and send the necessary information to my daughter via email. 3. Following my unsuccessful attempts to reset the password, I tried to make a payment using PayPal, which was declined. Can you offer guidance on how to address this issue? Please direct any responses to my daughter, Melitta Konradi, at the email address provided below. Thank you, Sue Douglas Torreyson

I requested a replacement card on November 25, [redacted], but it hasn't arrived as of December 3, [redacted]. I have been unable to reach Direct Express customer service, waiting on hold for up to an hour each time. I hope to locate my card and have it sent overnight if feasible. Their policy states to contact them if the card is not received within 5 calendar days, and it has been 8 days. I rely on this card for bills and more, and the delay is unexpected.

My wife and daughter in the Philippines are stranded without funds. When I attempt to send money, my bank doesn't authorize the transaction. Despite having successfully used this card for transfers before, now the customer service line disconnects due to high call volume after two days of trying. Consequently, my family is currently relying on strangers for assistance. This situation is frustrating as I've never encountered such problems with Direct Express previously. I am perplexed by the sudden change.

I've been trying to reach Direct Express, but I can never get through due to the high call volume. It's frustrating. I requested a new card on November 22, but it hasn't arrived yet. I suspect they may have sent it to the wrong address despite confirming it with me. I urgently need to speak to a representative since I need to pay my rent. I hope they improve their communication channels, like providing live online assistance. Their current system is inadequate. It's disappointing considering the amount of money they receive from the government. This situation is frustrating.

I had to request and activate a new card because mine was stolen yesterday. When I logged into the Direct Express app, I noticed two unauthorized charges on my card. One was for an extreme test formula and the other was from a website called Payout.com. I need to ensure that these transactions are stopped as I attempted to contact the first company without success, and the second charge is from the UK and I couldn't reach them. The test formula charge was for $5.25, and the Payout.xlcom charge was for around $24. I need assistance to prevent these charges from going through. Kindly reach out to me via phone or email as soon as possible. Thank you. Dawn Walker

I have tried to send my ID proof twice, but I received an undeliverable message. It seems like I might have used the wrong or misspelled email address. Can you please confirm the correct email address for me to resend the documents? Thank you.

I have been attempting to contact customer service for four days without success. I accidentally made an extra payment of $50 on my Verizon account, which has caused issues with my other bills. Each time I call, I am put on hold for up to two hours. Despite trying at different times, I keep getting the message of a long waiting list and eventually get disconnected. Furthermore, I am unable to access my account online as it does not recognize my Social Security number. This has caused me a lot of frustration. I urgently need assistance with this matter and would appreciate a call back since I am unable to reach your team.

I utilized the EMoney app for three $[redacted] transactions on 12/3/[redacted]. I added them to my EMoney account to transfer to my bank. Although I sorted out another issue with EMoney, these particular transactions encountered a processing error. I phoned yesterday to confirm there were no disputes, per the customer service representative all was well. Nevertheless, I'm concerned a dispute might have been filed, hindering the vendor from refunding the money. Accessing this sum is critical for me.

Today, I attempted to use my Direct Express card at the ATM to withdraw money that was deposited yesterday. Despite knowing there were funds available, the machine indicated otherwise, advising me to contact the financial institution. I have been attempting to reach them throughout the day, enduring a hold time of up to an hour and a half before my phone died. I am currently back on hold for another 30 minutes, still without any resolution or assistance.

I am experiencing difficulties with Direct Express. On December 1, [redacted], they deposited $[redacted] and $[redacted] into my account. However, this has caused issues with my bill payments, creating an imbalance in the payment schedule. I attempted to expedite the delivery of a new green card, but Direct Express sent it prematurely without my request. I am supposed to request a new card with a different number and pay a $13.50 fee. I recently had a total knee replacement on November 9, [redacted], and this confusion is hindering my recovery. Unfortunately, I am unable to speak to a representative as the only option is a recorded message with no assistance. The high call volume message directs me to the website and then disconnects the call. I find this situation disrespectful and frustrating. I simply want to know the status of my new card, my balance, and when I can expect it without having to deal with these challenges.

My funds are being held by Direct Express. $[redacted] was deposited, and $[redacted] is also being held. This situation has caused issues with my bill payments and scheduling. I tried to expedite the delivery of my new debit card, but it was done prematurely. I underwent knee replacement surgery on Nov 9th, and the stress of this situation is affecting my recovery. I am unable to reach a live representative at Direct Express, only automated messages. I need access to my money and information about my new card and balance.

I contacted Direct Express to confirm my balance and verify a recent deposit in my account. To my surprise, there were multiple unauthorized transactions that depleted a significant portion of my monthly check. I had only used the card to pay Straight Talk $51.00 before noticing the issue. Rushing to the bank, I withdrew $[redacted].00 with a $3.00 fee, leaving $[redacted].00 and a balance of around $16.00. However, after checking my balance later, it showed zero. Confused and frustrated, I called Direct Express, struggling to reach a live person. The representative informed me of additional unauthorized transactions attempting to withdraw $46.00, with another questionable charge from Boost Mobile for $56.00. Despite failed attempts to resolve this with Boost Mobile, they still deducted money for a service I never received. Calculating my balance after legitimate deductions, I should have approximately $[redacted].00 remaining, which I urgently need refunded to cover my expenses. I am not affiliated with Apple or any cell phone company, making these charges even more baffling.

I was on hold with Express Direct for over two hours, but no one helped or spoke to me. As I mentioned earlier, $[redacted].00 was deducted from my account in several transactions that I did not authorize. I don't have any Apple products or belong to Apple, nor do I own a cellphone. I would appreciate it if Direct Express could refund my money. It seems like there may be a scam happening, and it's concerning how easily this can occur and impact innocent people like me who rely on a limited income. This situation is causing a lot of issues for me, as my cable, internet, and home phone services may be disconnected due to non-payment. Please address this matter urgently.

Hello, I am Estelle Gill. Yesterday, I requested 2 replacement cards. The staff member assisting me assured me that I would receive the tracking numbers via email within an hour. However, it has been approximately 13-14 hours, and I have not received any communication. I require this information for my records and worry the order was not processed. I feel left hanging and need urgent assistance to resolve this issue promptly. Thank you for your help. E. Gill

I also provided my email address, [redacted] As of this morning, December 5, [redacted], I have not received any tracking information.

It has been a month since I signed up, and I am still waiting for my card to arrive. I need to access the money in my account while I wait for the card. It's now been five weeks, and the situation hasn't improved. After much time spent on the phone and sending emails, I learned that my card was sent to me but returned as "undelivered." It was cut up and discarded without any notification on November 13. I cannot log into my account without the card details, which they do not have on file or cannot disclose to me even if they did. To get a new card, I have to pay a replacement fee, so now all I can do is wait for the new card to arrive.

I believe my card information has been compromised as someone is making unauthorized purchases with a duplicate card. I have my card in my possession and have never lost it, so I am unsure how my information was stolen. I am urgently attempting to remove all remaining funds from the card before it gets deactivated. I have spent over two hours on the phone with customer service but have not been able to speak to anyone yet. This situation is very concerning as I need to pay other bills and currently cannot use my card for any transactions.

I have been trying to reach customer service at 1-[redacted], but I have been unsuccessful in getting the assistance I need. I have encountered rude behavior and have been hung up on during several conversations. My name is Dale S. and I am a customer with your bank.

I have detailed records of my communication attempts and interactions. I am determined to pursue this matter until I receive the necessary assistance. You can contact me at [redacted]. Thank you.
