I recently disputed multiple transactions on my card. The representative I spoke with had difficulty communicating clearly, so it was challenging to understand him despite asking for clarification multiple times. He mentioned sending me a new card within 7-10 days, but I have not received it yet. Additionally, he suggested transferring funds to another account. When I attempted to do this later, I was informed that my account was no longer active and couldn't be located. This situation is concerning as I have pending direct deposits that I cannot access, causing significant financial stress. I am urgently seeking assistance to resolve these issues. Thank you for your help.

Netspend sent me a check for an old account balance. After changing my address, I tried to cash the check, but the verification process was challenging as the information provided was outdated. This caused significant issues while attempting to cash the check, almost resulting in legal troubles. How can I ensure the check is validated correctly considering the mismatch in details?

Yesterday, my password was changed without my knowledge while I was at work. I've attempted to reset it through your mobile app by sending email links to my different email accounts, but unfortunately, none of them are being received. It's crucial for me to access my account. I'm uncertain how you'll be able to contact me with a response considering the email links aren't coming through. The password I altered my account to is Marybeth523, but all other modifications were not approved by me. Thank you for your assistance and dedication.

I recently received one of your prepaid Mastercards, but when I tried to activate it, I was asked for my SSN. It struck me as odd, and when I provided it, the automated service claimed it was invalid. I have used this SSN for nearly 36 years and am certain it is accurate. This prompted me to look into your fees, which I found to be exorbitant, and your ratings, which are consistently poor, to the point that federal authorities warn about your company. Please reconsider your practices and stop distributing these cards under the pretense of being helpful. Only then can I reconsider my opinion of your company.

Today, Friday, November 15, [redacted], I have spent over 2.5 hours trying to resolve an issue, only to be disconnected nine times. Each call required repeating the same information, and what's most important to me is the disrespect I've experienced. Despite remaining respectful and composed, I was repeatedly hung up on, receiving a mere $2 credit on my account in return. This reimbursement does not adequately compensate for the poor service and wasted time. I fear losing my composure if I make an eleventh call. I deserve more respect and a meaningful resolution for the time and treatment I endured. The lack of concern and decency I faced is truly disappointing. If immediate action is not taken, I will cancel my NetSpend cards, contact the Better Business Bureau, and share my negative experience widely.

I will be contacting Netspend today as my direct deposit, which should have been available on Friday evening, November 29th, [redacted], has not appeared in my account. I checked my employee page working for the United States Census Bureau, and it shows that $[redacted].00 was deposited into my Netspend account with matching name, account number, and routing number. I am frustrated about the delay and confusion surrounding this deposit. This is my initial experience with Netspend, and unfortunately, it seems like it will be my last. - Linda G. Robinson

My husband and I purchased a Netspend card with $[redacted] to buy items for our baby while he is at work. We attempted to activate it in my name, first over the phone and then online. However, we encountered issues and were instructed to contact customer service. Despite providing consistent information during the activation process, we were told there was conflicting information. Upon contacting customer service, a representative mentioned the same issue but due to it being the end of the workday, redirected me to the automated phone service, which could not assist. Feeling abandoned on the phone line at the end of the day, I am frustrated with the difficult activation process. Unless the card can be activated promptly today, I am seeking a full refund.

Before Thanksgiving, I received a message urging me to contact them regarding my son's unactivated card. After attempting to reach them today, we were disconnected after a 15-minute hold. Eventually, we spoke to a representative who stated the card expired in December [redacted], implying a zero balance. I believe December [redacted] ends on the last day, not the first. I am seeking assistance from a higher authority. My son, who lost the card at 15, is now in college and in need of the funds I loaded onto it. I feel the situation has resulted in his money being taken unfairly.

I have a client in our program who is looking to reactivate his card after a period of being in prison. He reached out to your office for approval and was instructed to fax his driver's license and a copy of the front and back of the card. We've tried faxing to 1[redacted], but the fax won't go through. Is it possible for us to send a scanned copy via email instead?

Due to being classified as high-risk, my account has been closed, and I've been informed that it will take 7 to 10 business days to receive a refund. The funds were intended for Christmas shopping online, and I must place the orders before then. I request an immediate refund or transfer to my Walmart card. The delay due to identity verification issues is frustrating, as the primary purpose of the card was for holiday purchases, not to fall victim to fraudulent activity like Netsped.

I have a pending charge of $[redacted] from HSN for an iPad that I didn't order. Although I attempted to make a purchase, the transaction didn't go through due to a payment plan issue. I never received a confirmation that my order was successful, yet HSN still charged me. Customer service has informed me that my order was incomplete. I am frustrated as I did not authorize this charge and now I am out $[redacted]. I want a refund back to my card as I should not have been charged for an order that was not completed.

I need assistance with retrieving funds from my current direct deposit account. I had previously requested my employer not to deposit my wages into this account, but unfortunately, the money was transferred there anyway. This was an error on their part, and I urgently need the funds returned to me due to an unforeseen emergency. Is there any way to reverse this transaction promptly to facilitate the return of the money? Thank you.

I was wrongfully charged by Cricket and the payment was put into the wrong department. They claim they cannot correct this mistake. I am urgently needing the return of three payments: $20 on 12/2/19, $18 on 12/08/19, and $23 on 12/11/19. I am 75 years old with a heart condition and have been without a phone for over two weeks, which is life-threatening given my circumstances. I have tried calling 1-[redacted] from a payphone for over a week, but there seems to be no way to resolve this or speak to a representative. My phone also serves as my email, compounding the issue. I urgently need the funds to switch to a different phone provider. Please assist me in this emergency situation. Thank you.

Yesterday, I loaded $[redacted] onto my card with no issues. However, when I tried to pay my phone bill, my card was declined. I called customer service to investigate, but my phone number and social security number were not recognized. I believe my card might be blocked due to inactivity, even though the deposit was accepted. Please unblock my card promptly as I urgently need it to pay my phone bill. I would appreciate speaking with a real person about this matter. Note: The phone I am using to reach out has no service since I can’t pay the bill with my blocked card.

I bought a $30 net pay Visa card this morning to use today. During activation, I entered random numbers for the social security section, thinking it wasn't essential for a $30 prepaid Visa gift card. I provided all other correct information to create my account. However, now I can't activate the card or spend the money because I'm locked out of my account due to the incorrect social security number. I know my social security number and can provide proof with my social security card if necessary. The issue I encountered over the phone is that I don't have my ID on me.

Hello, my name is Precious. I bought a prepaid card from Walmart by Netspend. I loaded $11 onto the card, but the total showing up was a little over $13 after making a payment. Once I downloaded the app on my phone and created an account, I couldn't see the $11 I added on the card reflected in the balance. My card should be activated by Christmas. I'm wondering if the money is on the card or elsewhere?

I purchased a Netspwns card for my son two days ago. Unfortunately, I am experiencing issues activating the card as the number and CVC code are not working. Despite attempting to register it online, it continues to prompt me to call for assistance. Upon calling multiple times, I receive automated messages and then get disconnected since the number has not been registered. I am extremely frustrated as there is money tied to this card, and it is showing as invalid. The store where I bought it states they cannot refund me since I paid in cash. This has truly been a disappointing way to prepare for Christmas.

Apple charged my NetSpend card, which is linked to my iTunes account, but these charges were not mine due to my stolen phone. I filed a dispute with NetSpend and was informed my card is blocked. Apple has agreed to refund the charges to my card, but it needs to be unblocked for the refund to go through. While waiting for Apple's refund, I have also requested a provisional credit and require it urgently. My car is currently in the shop, leaving me unable to go out for food, so I desperately need to order a pizza. I seek assistance with resolving these issues.

I had a previous tenant, Joshua J., who used to live in my Atlanta home. Even though he no longer resides here, I continue to receive mail addressed to him from NetSpend. There is only one contact number provided by NetSpend, which makes it challenging to reach them without Joshua's social security number or account details. That’s the reason I am reaching out here for assistance. I wish to stop receiving Joshua's mail at my address as this matter solely pertains to him and his account. Thank you.

I have a Direct Express debit card for Social Security benefits, and despite my efforts, I can't seem to reach a live person. I lost my card and requested a replacement, but I mistakenly provided the wrong zip code. I have been attempting to contact them to rectify this issue, but all I encounter are automated services. Even when I finally reach a customer representative, I receive a message stating they are too busy to assist. I am frustrated with this process and would like to switch from Direct Express to Netspend. Can anyone offer guidance on how to accomplish this?
