I am reaching out about my girlfriend's account issue. Despite multiple attempts to contact customer service, they refuse to escalate the matter to a supervisor. The problem lies with her birthdate, where only the day seems incorrect. She has ample evidence of her identity, from her card details and state ID to recent transactions. We are prepared to provide any necessary information, yet we keep encountering hurdles. The situation is frustrating, and I find their handling of the matter unprofessional. I hope for assistance in resolving this promptly.

I bought a Greendot cash back debit card from Dollar General store [redacted] in Las Cruces, NM on 6/5/20. Despite multiple attempts, I have been unable to activate the card or access the funds I loaded onto it due to account registration issues. After returning to the store with all the necessary documentation, I was directed back to Greendot, leading to a frustrating loop of unhelpful interactions. Even after speaking with the store's General Manager, no resolution was achieved, and I am now seeking a refund and compensation for the time and energy wasted in trying to resolve this issue. The lack of communication and assistance from both companies has left me feeling angry and disappointed, especially during such a stressful period. The situation is unacceptable, and I hope for a prompt and satisfactory resolution from Greendot.

I misplaced my Walmart Visa card, which contains my entire paycheck. I am in a tough spot without access to my funds. When I reported the lost card, they blocked it for security reasons. Although I updated my address with USPS, it will take 5-9 business days. They declined to send a new card due to the address change. I tried to verify my identity by sending my driver's license and bills, but it was rejected because I live in a long-term hotel. I could only find old bills to send in afterward, hoping it would work. My submission is pending review, but it might be refused because the bills are outdated. I requested a call back from an account manager two days ago, but no one has contacted me. I urgently need access to my funds for my family's necessities. Your assistance in resolving this matter promptly would be greatly appreciated.

I added $70 to my card a few months back, but now it's showing as inactive when I try to use it. I tried to activate it on the Green Dot app by entering the card details, but when I proceed, it says the information doesn't match. I am certain my social security number and birthday are correct. This has been frustrating as I have other cards that I'm now hesitant to use. I've called customer service multiple times, but language barriers have made it challenging to resolve the issue. I just want to access my $70 and then close my accounts. I hope this can be resolved without the need to involve legal action.

I am still waiting for the new card with rush delivery that was supposed to be mailed to me two weeks ago. During the first week, I was in a difficult situation having to sleep in cars. I was informed by one representative that I could still utilize the bill pay option, but it seems that is not the case. It has been almost three weeks now, and the $[redacted] that is being held has not been released. I am eager to receive my money that seems to be held without a clear reason. I would appreciate it if you could assist me in resolving this matter promptly.

I recently called Green Dot's customer service line to report my stolen card. After providing my information, the system requested me to enter my card details, which I couldn't do since my card was stolen. I expected to be transferred to an operator but instead, the system just said it didn't receive my input and instructed me to contact them back once I have my card, and then hung up. Now, I'm unable to get a new card.

I added $[redacted] to my PayPal card, but the amount never appeared. PayPal escalated my claim, and they advised me to contact you. I have been waiting and dealing with PayPal, receiving new dates for the issue to be resolved each time I call. I am frustrated as the customer service line seems geared towards Green Dot cardholders, which I am not. I am eager to speak with a representative to ensure my funds are placed on my PayPal business debit card promptly.

I recently obtained a new Green Dot Unlimited Cash Back card and added a cash deposit at a reload location. However, upon checking the balance, it was displayed as $0.00 with no transaction history of the added money. I contacted the number on the card and was informed of a security block. I was directed to unlock the security setting online under card settings, but the only option available was to unlock the card itself. Despite my efforts to reach a live representative for assistance, I have been unable to resolve the issue after 6 hours of trying. I am frustrated by the situation and concerned about potentially losing $35. I am requesting urgent assistance to address this matter promptly.

Since March [redacted], I have been utilizing my GreenDot Cash Back card for my MASS Unemployment Insurance benefits. Recently, I encountered an issue when attempting a $10.00 purchase at my local store on June 24th, [redacted]. Upon contacting customer service, I was informed that my account had been closed without any prior notification. Despite numerous attempts to reconnect with a representative, my questions remain unanswered regarding the closure of my account and the whereabouts of my funds. As a devoted customer, I am distressed by this sudden and unjust treatment, which has left me and my family without financial support. The lack of communication and unexplained closure of my account are incredibly disrespectful and distressing.

I have been using Green Dot debit cards for a few years now. My stimulus check has been deposited onto one of the cards I used for my [redacted] taxes. I am seeking assistance in recovering my stimulus check from this specific card. Recently, I was in contact with a customer service representative who was helping me locate the card where my stimulus check was deposited. However, during our conversation, I had to retrieve an old address, and I requested a moment to contact my son for the information. Unfortunately, it seems the call was disconnected, and now I am unable to reconnect with them to finalize the recovery process and receive my card. I would appreciate any help in resolving this issue promptly. Thank you, A. S. [redacted] [redacted]

I have a Green Dot Secured Platinum Card. I tried to make a payment, but I couldn't use my debit card. To make the payment, I transferred the funds to a friend's account, which has caused issues with my account. I spoke with a representative two weeks ago about this. She mentioned that using someone else's account for the payment is not allowed. I offered to return the money and open a new account to resolve the situation. However, my card has been blocked for security reasons since then. I keep being directed to fix it online as I can't reach anyone over the phone. I don't understand why using another account for payment is such a problem as long as the payment is made. I am working to resolve this to access the funds on my account for my family's needs.

Once I acquired a standard bank account and debit card, I assumed I wouldn't require my Green Dot card anymore, so I disposed of it. However, the IRS deposited my stimulus check last year onto the mentioned Green Dot card. Despite my attempts to contact customer service and report the card as lost, the system keeps rejecting the zip code I enter. I have tried all possible options without success. Since I no longer have the physical card, I am unable to provide the full card number to request a replacement. The only information I possess is the last 12 digits from my direct deposit details. I urgently need guidance on how to order a new card and regain access to my account in order to retrieve my stimulus funds.

I am having trouble signing into my account. I have provided my legitimate phone number multiple times, but it's not working. Specifically, I need to activate and use my card, but I'm facing major issues. I have always had a smooth experience with your service until now. When I enter my phone number, it keeps saying it's incorrect or not validated. Can you assist me in resolving this issue?

I encountered an issue with my stimulus check being sent to my old Greendot account from last year's taxes. Despite calling for three consecutive days to request a new card to be sent to my updated address, I have been informed that no card has been dispatched. The representative instructed me to email a picture of my I.D. and proof of address several times, which I already did. On top of that, I was told that it would take six days to verify the new address email and an additional nine days for the card to be sent, assuming the email passes verification. I am concerned about facing more delays or problems along the way, extending the waiting period beyond the promised 15 days. I am unable to access my online account without the card number, which seems illogical. Though I have my account and routing numbers, I believed there should be an option to transfer the funds to a different bank account or prepaid card easily. I am trying to stay composed and polite, but the lack of support from customer service has left me feeling trapped without access to my own money. The ongoing $4.95 monthly charge is adding to my frustration, and I seek a resolution promptly. I am considering closing my account, but I fear losing sight of my funds permanently. If there is a way to transfer my funds through a check, direct deposit, or another card, I would greatly appreciate it. I implore for assistance in this matter immediately, as my financial situation is critical, and the delay could have severe consequences such as losing my home.

I have been trying to contact this company for over a month and a half to get my card unblocked. I have followed all of their instructions, sending numerous emails to verify my documents to [redacted] I have kept records of every phone call and email, including my ID, insurance bill, and paycheck stub. Despite verifying they received my documents several times, they eventually cancelled my card due to a minor spelling error in my name. This caused significant issues like cancelled insurance, utilities being shut off, and difficulty buying groceries. I was promised a refund check, but after numerous calls to customer service, I am still stuck in a loop of repeating the same steps with no resolution. I have requested to speak with a supervisor but have not heard back. It is frustrating to be denied access to my own funds, and I am considering legal action if needed.

I have been trying to contact you via phone, sending my ID pictures, insurance bill, and paycheck stub as requested. Despite repeated attempts and following their instructions, I have been stuck in a cycle where they keep asking me to repeat the process each time I call back. I have been promised a callback from a supervisor within 24 hours, but a month and a half later, I am still waiting. This situation has led to my insurance being canceled, utilities shut off, and financial strain in feeding my family. I have documented all interactions with names and recordings. I am considering legal action if my card remains blocked and my funds are not released promptly. I am on the verge of involving the Better Business Bureau if this issue is not resolved soon.

I've had multiple attempted logins on my account and require assistance over the phone to address this. Furthermore, I've been struggling for months to reach someone to facilitate the closure of my account and the return of my safety deposit. The lack of response is incredibly aggravating, leading me to question the legitimacy of this bank. It is imperative that I speak to a representative promptly to resolve these concerns.

I have been attempting to cash my refund check at my local Walmart as advised, but I am encountering difficulties. I have provided my personal information over the phone, including my birthday and social security number, but the system cannot locate my details. I am frustrated as the whole purpose of obtaining the refund was to access the funds efficiently. I urge for this issue to be rectified promptly, as I have made several unsuccessful attempts. If this matter is not resolved soon, I will consider visiting a bank instead. I hope to avoid any further obstacles when attempting to cash the check; ideally, I would like to be able to complete this transaction at Walmart without any hindrances.

I've noticed that several social media platforms are billing me for services I didn't sign up for, and they have already withdrawn $70 from my Green Dot card despite my only approving $5 or $10. My balance is depleted, and the unauthorized charges keep coming in without any way for me to reach them and cancel. I'm concerned about whether this will escalate into a larger issue financially and how I can prevent it from getting worse. What steps should I take to halt these charges from accumulating further?

I attempted to transfer funds from my MoneyPak card to my GreenDot account but encountered an error message stating, "Deposit Failed." Despite multiple attempts, the transaction is not going through, and I cannot remember my account ID to proceed. I typically use my phone number as the user ID, but customer service is not accepting it. Furthermore, the system is rejecting my birth date as an invalid entry. I am worried that there may be errors that need to be addressed. Could you please clarify why I am unable to deposit my MoneyPak funds at this moment?
