I recently received a replacement card which you sent to an address I had around 15 years ago. The account linked to this card was closed long ago. It is concerning that my address was not verified with Social Security before issuing the replacement card. This poses a risk of someone potentially accessing a large sum of money I have been saving for years. The lump sum payment should have been transferred onto this card from the one mistakenly sent to the incorrect recipient. I have been struggling to reach customer service for about an hour, and it has been very frustrating. I urgently need access to the funds on this card as it is crucial for my survival. Additionally, I need confirmation that the payment due on the third has been processed correctly.

I did not receive my benefits on the 1st. After calling Social Security, they advised me to contact Direct Express. Direct Express provided me with a phone number to call. However, every time I called, they mentioned a high volume of calls and asked me to try again later. I have been attempting to reach them all day, and I am becoming increasingly frustrated. I was informed that a new card was sent to me on March 30th, but I have not received it yet. I am unsure of the card's whereabouts, but this situation needs to be resolved promptly. If not, I will seek legal assistance.

I usually receive my social security benefits in my Direct Express account on the 3rd of each month. Today is the 3rd, but the deposit hasn't come through yet. I called customer service, and they couldn't provide details on the transaction amounts or dates, advising me to contact the paying agency. When I tried to check online, I encountered an issue with a phone number not associated with me for the verification code. It's frustrating not to have clarity on this matter.

My name is Paul D Henderson. Over the last two months, money has been withdrawn from my account without my consent. In March of [redacted], over $[redacted] was taken, and on May 1, [redacted], three unauthorized transactions were made: $37.95, $37.95, and $34.99. I had only made a withdrawal of $1,[redacted], leaving $[redacted].34 in the bank for my phone company's payment of $[redacted], which did not go through. Despite my new card being received three months ago, no one but me should have access to it, and only my phone company should be authorized to use it. I have been trying to address this issue for two months without success. Due to my severe heart condition, I cannot handle this stress any longer. I urgently need this matter resolved and my money returned, as I will be changing banks. Please provide me with the necessary information to provide to my new bank. Kindly contact me at [redacted] or [redacted] Oak St, Anderson CA [redacted], or call [redacted]. Thank you, Paul Henderson.

I am experiencing issues with Direct Express declining my Cash App payments. In the past, I had to call to have a block removed, but I checked online and there shouldn't be one. Despite unlocking my card, the problem persists. Recently, I was able to send $50 to my niece, but when setting up a direct deposit to Cash App, it was declined. Shortly after, when my niece needed emergency funds due to a broken-down vehicle, the card was declined again. I believe I should have the freedom to use my card and access my money without these restrictions.

On April 30th, I requested a replacement card with two-day express shipping. When I called again on Tuesday, I was informed that the reissuance was scheduled for May 2nd instead. I am concerned that my card may have been sent to the wrong address, as it has not yet arrived at the address provided on the 30th. Unfortunately, I have been unable to reach anyone to inquire about its status. I appreciate any assistance with this matter. Thank you, KCC [redacted].

I need assistance with disputing multiple unauthorized transactions totaling several hundred dollars. I did not receive any fraud alerts, and these transactions date back further than a month. I have already called to cancel the card and requested an expedited replacement, although this incurred a cost equal to the remaining balance on the fraudulent card. I spent several hours on hold with customer service to dispute these transactions and felt frustrated by the service. Please have a representative contact me at [redacted]. Thank you, B. C.

I have recently lost my card and discovered unauthorized charges on it after misplacing it. Despite multiple attempts to reach customer service and lock the card, I have been unsuccessful in speaking to a live representative to address the unauthorized charges, particularly those at Pulsz Casino. The last valid transactions I made were a $[redacted] transfer to my Cash App on 5/5/23 and a Netflix charge on 5/4/23. Despite locking the card and ordering a replacement upon noticing the unauthorized activity, I have not been able to report or dispute the charges due to the difficulty in reaching customer service. I have spent the last three hours trying to contact them with no success. Please advise on the necessary steps to resolve this issue.

I recently experienced a terrible accident around New Year's that nearly took my life. I was discharged from the hospital yesterday and was supposed to receive a new card because my old one was expiring. Unfortunately, I never received it. I have been in and out of hospitals since October, and it's crucial that I receive my card as soon as possible, ideally today. I am willing to pay any associated fees as my account has sufficient funds. I have been trying to contact customer service, but have not been able to get through. I am feeling frustrated and desperate as my money is tied up in my card, and I need to make essential payments like my phone bill. I really need a new card urgently.

I have a signed document from a friend with a Direct Express card who is currently incarcerated, authorizing me to use his card in his absence. How can I, on his behalf and with his authorization over the phone, obtain a replacement card that I am authorized to use, either with or without my name on it? He cannot receive calls in his current institution but can make outgoing calls. If we could set up a time to speak to a Direct Express representative, perhaps we can expedite the process. Thank you.

I raised a dispute in February and initiated a claim. My card got deactivated, and a new one was sent to me. When I tried to activate it, I was directed to the fraud department and told I needed to verify my identity. Sadly, I lack an ID, birth certificate, or social security card, which makes it hard for me to prove my identity. Because I rely on my April and May SSDI, which is on a Direct Express card, I can't access the funds without proving my identity. Given my situation and lack of funds, it's challenging for me to obtain the necessary documents. I went through a traumatic experience last year, leaving behind all my identification, and I am unable to retrieve them. I am seeking assistance and understanding in resolving this issue quickly.

I use a Direct Express card to receive my Social Security benefits every month. However, in April and May, my benefits were mistakenly deposited into a Green Dot Bank account instead of my Direct Express card. I have never had an account with Green Dot Bank and always received my payments on my Direct Express card. I would like to ask the CEO to ensure that my benefits are deposited onto my Direct Express card as usual.

I am currently on my 3rd call with Direct Express. My current hold time is 1 hour and 18 minutes, which is frustrating. Earlier today, my hold time was 1 hour and 12 minutes before I had to hang up. I had a call in between where a customer service rep in the dispute transaction department hung up on me, not considering my issue as part of a dispute. My problem involves transferring $50 from my Direct Express card to my PayPal account. Despite having the same details on both accounts, the transaction is blocked for my protection. I have a balance of $[redacted], so insufficient funds are not the issue. Unfortunately, the customer service reps cannot remove the block, telling me a "level 2" employee can do it. This experience has left me feeling helpless and frustrated, especially as I need access to my money urgently for my son's hospital expenses.

I have been facing issues accessing my online account, only receiving automated balance information. Whenever I attempt to log in, I encounter a message stating that I need to register again. Despite numerous attempts to register, I have only managed to speak with a representative once in over 40 calls since December [redacted]. The agent advised me to re-register my card, which I have attempted 20 to 30 times without success. I am able to use the card for transactions but unable to view statements or verify credits and debits. I am at a loss on how to proceed and unable to reach a customer service representative for assistance. Should I give up and request a new card to resolve this issue? I used to easily speak to representatives for help in the first few years of having the card, but the current situation of being unable to get through for the past six months is frustrating.

I recently checked my Direct Express Card balance and was shocked to find most of my money missing. There was a significant charge to Verizon, a company I do not use, and multiple charges from Chick-fil-A that I did not make. Despite contacting Direct Express customer service, I was unable to resolve the issue as I needed my card number, which was canceled. I am struggling to get in touch with someone to address the fraudulent charges, causing me a lot of stress. I would be grateful for any assistance or guidance on how to proceed. Thank you for your help.

I have encountered issues while trying to activate my new replacement card received in the mail. Despite multiple attempts to activate it using the 24/7 customer service number provided, the system keeps indicating that the card information is invalid, even though I am entering it accurately. My calls to customer service have gone unanswered, and when I am placed on hold, the calls get disconnected. The current situation is frustrating as I urgently need to activate my new card and the support from the 24/7 helpline has not been effective in addressing my concern.

I need help unlocking my Direct Express credit card and providing my ID. I visited the social security office but haven't received any help. Can I schedule a callback with the verification department to unlock my card? Please contact me at [redacted] for further assistance. I am only reachable via Wi-Fi, so please schedule a callback instead of trying to call me directly. Thank you.
