I had a card frozen and was advised by customer service to visit a store carrying your bank cards to purchase a new NetSpend card. They assured me they could transfer funds from the frozen card to the new one seamlessly. However, I spent all day yesterday attempting to transfer my money with no success. Furthermore, I had the displeasure of your support representative hanging up on me three times. I urgently need this matter resolved today without any excuses. Please reach out to me at my phone number. Thank you for your prompt attention to this, as my experience with the company has been far from satisfactory.

URGENT REQUEST Account number: [redacted] I am trying to activate my account from Mexico, but the [redacted] number is not working. I have submitted my IDs as requested, and it should have been activated within 24 hours, but after 48 hours, it's still not active. I explained the issue with the [redacted] number in another email, and they said they would verify within 6 hours. I waited 24 hours to try again, but still no success. I am frustrated with the run-around. If I need to call from the US to activate, please inform me clearly. I have provided all the necessary information, but there seems to be a problem. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated, considering the effort I have made.

I received my third stimulus check which was deposited to my NetSpend card, based on my [redacted] tax return. I now need to transfer the funds to a different card or add a new card to the NetSpend account to avoid repeated calling and transferring of money. This process usually takes just 2 minutes whenever I contact customer service, so I'm eager to resolve this before 9 am EST.

I received my All Access card a couple of days ago and have been calling all three Netspend customer service numbers. None of them have answered my calls. I called repeatedly and waited for a live representative, but with no luck. I borrowed $20 plus a fee to reload my card at 7-Eleven. Unfortunately, the receipt did not have the code to activate my card. This has been incredibly frustrating, leading me to throw my phone in my car a few times out of frustration. I am disappointed by the lack of support from Netspend when it comes to accessing my hard-earned money. I want my All Access card to work as promised and provide me with all the benefits outlined in their terms and conditions. I have been delayed in getting back to a friend due to this issue, and now her phone is off while I wait in her parking lot. My bills are piling up, and I am at a loss for what to do next. Please resolve this situation promptly.

I attempted to activate my NetSpend card to receive my stimulus check, but it was blocked. If this is not resolved soon, my payment may be returned. Customer service is hard to reach, and I keep experiencing call drops. I need a direct contact number to speak to someone who can assist me promptly.

On March 2, [redacted], I received an email stating my account had suspicious activity. Despite not using my card since February 26, [redacted], I was unable to access my account activity since January 30, [redacted]. My attempts to reach Netspend have been fruitless, resulting in a closed account and a mere $7.67 check. This amount is insufficient, and I cannot even cash it due to issues with Netspend checks bouncing. I rely on these funds for living expenses and vital medication. To exacerbate the situation, a dispute filed on January 2, [redacted], remains unresolved. The credited amount was deducted, imposing additional overdraft charges. Consequently, I am uncertain about the status of my stimulus funds and remaining account balance.

My account has been locked by Netspend, and I am unable to reach customer service. A representative named Jan requested personal information, including images of my documents, without explaining the reason for the account lock. Another male representative, with difficulty communicating in English, was unhelpful and suggested contacting a public director, which my carrier stated was not acceptable. Despite providing my driver's license, they refuse to verify my access. I have been on the phone since 7:30, encountering disconnections and unhelpful transfers, leaving me unable to access my account or money. It feels like they are trying to take advantage of me.

I received my stimulus payment on my Netspend card, which I had cancelled due to suspicious charges. I transferred the remaining funds to another active Netspend account. Despite the cancellation, the stimulus was deposited to the old account ending in [redacted] on March 13th. However, I have been facing issues transferring money from the old card to the active account, incurring a $4.50 fee each time and limiting the transfer to $[redacted] per day. I expected the funds to be sent to the account ending in [redacted], where I had moved the money. I have been attempting to contact customer service since Friday without success. I believe it is unfair to pay daily fees for partial transfers. I wish to pay a one-time fee to transfer the remaining balance to my preferred card. Please assist me promptly, as this situation is causing inconvenience as I try to purchase a car. Thank you.

I believe I may have more than one account open with NetSpend. My stimulus check is supposed to be sent to an account that ends in [redacted]. I no longer have the card for that account, but I still have another card from a different account with you. If my payment went to a different account than the one I have the card for, can the balance be transferred to the correct account? The IRS website stated my payment would be sent on the 17th of this month. I'm aware that some people received their payments earlier than expected. I'm uncertain if the deposit has been made to my account yet. Any assistance would be appreciated.

I may have received my stimulus check in a NetSpend account for which I no longer possess a card. I would like the balance from the old account transferred to my current NetSpend account, ending in [redacted]. If there are any other open accounts linked to me, I request that they be closed so that I only have the one account remaining. As the IRS website states my stimulus payment is due to be deposited on the 17th, I am uncertain if the deposit has happened earlier than anticipated. The website mentioned the payment going to the account ending in [redacted], whereas the only card I have for NetSpend ends in [redacted]. I appreciate any assistance with transferring funds from the old account to the one associated with the card ending in [redacted].

I reported my NetSpend All-Access card ending in [redacted] stolen about two weeks ago. I wasn't aware that I needed to order a new card separately and assumed they would automatically send one after reporting it lost or stolen. This specific card is linked to my direct deposit for my stimulus check. How can I ensure I receive my stimulus funds? Will it load onto this card or my other NetSpend card ending in [redacted]? I'm unsure if reporting one card affects the other. I've been experiencing login issues with my online account; it's saying my account is locked. When I call customer service, it first states the account is no longer blocked, but I still can't access it. I just need guidance on how to access my stimulus funds, or if they have been deposited into my NetSpend account. I also have a Cash App account I can utilize if necessary.

I contacted Netspend a couple of weeks ago to locate the Netspend card where my stimulus funds were deposited. After identifying that the balance was around $[redacted] on the card, I couldn't find it as it was misplaced. I proceeded to transfer $[redacted] to another Netspend card initially, and the next day, transferred the remaining $[redacted] to the same card. I did not want to cancel the card yet as I expected another stimulus deposit of around $[redacted]. This deposit is scheduled to occur today but I still haven't found the card. I need assistance on how to transfer the money from the missing card to another Netspend card, similar to what I did previously. Please assist me urgently as this is crucial.

I am reaching out regarding a recent card purchase. I avoid providing my social security number due to previous fraudulent activity. I used my driver's details for card registration. He couldn't recall security questions, leading to provisional use. Despite being asked for verification, it's urgent I access these funds intended for emergencies. The card is meant for immediate company needs but has caused trouble despite provisional approval. It failed multiple times for a driver in need on the road, the main reason for the purchase. After seeking help, the card was locked with funds stuck. I can't return it to Family Dollar or get a refund, hence I require the unused funds. Contacting customer service has been challenging, with busy lines ending calls abruptly. I need a resolution promptly - either retrieving the funds or unlocking the card. It's disheartening as I bought the card for urgent use, and now I can't assist my driver or recoup the money.

I encountered an issue with my Netspend card. Previously, I had received my initial $[redacted] stimulus check on this card, but unfortunately, I lost it. Subsequently, I got a $[redacted] second stimulus check, and upon calling Netspend to report the lost card, they transferred the funds to another Netspend card I owned. However, the IRS has sent a third $[redacted] stimulus check to the initial closed account. Despite my attempts to contact Netspend regarding this issue, I have been unable to reach anyone to rectify the situation and retrieve my money.

After receiving my first stimulus check, I changed my banking information. Despite canceling my NetSpend account, it appears to be just locked. The second stimulus check was sent to the closed account and returned by NetSpend. I now aim to reopen my account to ensure the third stimulus check is directly deposited. I have been attempting this for four or five days without success in reaching NetSpend. Each call to customer service leads to a long wait, only to be told that the call volume is too high to assist me. My three emails to NetSpend remain unanswered. I urgently need help to resolve this situation promptly.

On March 15, [redacted], my account was compromised following a secure transaction with PSE&G around 9:00 am. There were five unauthorized transactions, four for $[redacted].59 each and the fifth for $[redacted].20. I only discovered the issue later that day when my attempt to withdraw money for laundry was declined. Upon calling my card provider, after confirming the recent transaction, I received my balance, revealing that my funds had been stolen.

I am reaching out regarding a recent card purchase. I am hesitant to provide my social security number due to recent fraudulent activity. I used my driver's information during the registration process, but he doesn't remember the security questions, leading to provisional use. I urgently need access to the funds for an emergency. The card was intended for immediate company use, but has been problematic, declining transactions for my drivers in urgent situations. Despite attempts to resolve the issue, the card is now locked, trapping the money. I can't return it to Family Dollar for a refund. I've tried contacting customer service, facing long wait times and sudden disconnections. I urgently need the funds returned to my company or the card unlocked to access the money. This situation is frustrating as the card was bought for an emergency which now cannot be addressed.

When the second stimulus checks were sent out, I didn't receive mine, which was $[redacted]. I was expecting a paper check, but didn't receive it. I used the "Where's My Payment" tool and discovered that the money had been direct deposited into an account ending in [redacted]. After searching through my old tax papers, I found the account and routing numbers but not the card number. I contacted Netspend and MetaBank, and during the calls, I found out that the government had deposited the third check into the same account. Unfortunately, I misplaced the card the deposits were going to. I would like the funds of $[redacted] to be transferred to my card ending in [redacted], or to receive a new card linked to the account ending in [redacted].

I recently submitted the required documents to NetSpend, but I'm now having trouble reaching anyone at their office. The automated system prompts me to enter my social security number, which I have done, but when I press star, it says "one moment" and nothing happens. I've waited up to 17 minutes with no resolution. I urgently need to speak with someone from the fraud department to confirm if they have received all the necessary documents to unfreeze my account and activate my new card. It's concerning because my Social Security funds are being held, affecting my monthly income. If I don't get a response today, I plan to escalate this matter to headquarters on Monday. I'm hoping for a compassionate and prompt resolution to access my funds. Thank you.

I used to be able to reach someone to discuss my account, but now I can't seem to get through. I need my card activated and my account unlocked to access my funds. I'm Jimmy Warren. I submitted my documents but haven't received any updates. It's frustrating not being able to connect with a person to resolve these issues. I provided my information, but haven't heard anything back. It's disheartening when there's no communication about my account status. I believe more effort should be made to keep customers informed. The lack of communication from NetSpend is unacceptable. I hope to resolve this matter with the corporate office soon.
