Direct Express Customer Service Issues

I lost my card on the first at the University Bank of America ATM in San Diego, California [redacted]. I called to get a new card, but they require ID verification. Despite sending it five times, I haven't received a ticket number. The first one expired due to disconnections, and the second was unanswered, leading to more delays. It's now urgent as my light bill is due, and I'm at risk of disconnection. I have been asking for my card and funds since the incident. Please assist in issuing a new card with my funds. You can reach me at [redacted] or [redacted]. Your prompt help is greatly appreciated during this difficult time.

I've had my card for about two years without any issues. My stimulus check was deposited on April 7th, and I received an email notification two days before. However, on the 8th, I encountered repeated "card declined" messages online, at a store, and at an ATM. Seeking assistance, I contacted Direct Express customer service. While explaining my situation and reliance on these funds for bills and groceries, I felt the representative was unhelpful and had an attitude. It was frustrating as she seemed to misconstrue my words.

My Direct Express debit card is associated with my PayPal Cash Card. I use PayPal for all my transactions, but suddenly I can't transfer funds. PayPal advised me to contact Direct Express, but I can't reach an agent. At 82 years old, I don't have the time or patience for this. I can't access my account online or through an agent. Direct Express asks for my critical information online but after submitting, everything goes blank with no confirmation. I haven't received any emails or texts to verify my account. I need my funds accessible immediately. Waiting 4 to 8 hours for help is unacceptable. I want the restrictions lifted now, or I will consider legal action. It's been almost a week, and I can't access my money.

I am a service provider for a client who relocated and has not yet received her card. She is unable to access any funds, leaving her without money for necessities. Despite numerous attempts, contacting Direct Express at [redacted] has been unhelpful as a PIN is required for assistance. The alternative number, [redacted], offers limited options, with lengthy wait times and repetitive processes. The customer service experience has been frustrating and inefficient, leading to extended holds and transfers without resolution. It is unacceptable that clients face such challenges in accessing their funds. Direct Express needs to address these issues promptly and provide better customer service to ensure a smoother experience for those in need.

We contacted Direct Express card customer service nearly four days ago to request a replacement card for my mother-in-law. Upon calling, we were informed that her account had been flagged for suspicious activity and was referred to the Fraud Department. The representative from the Fraud Department instructed us to submit her ID verification documents via Email or Fax for approval to update her information. We followed the instructions and sent the necessary documents promptly. The email response indicated that it would take up to 24 hours for them to review the information provided and if we do not receive a response within 48 hours, we are to contact the number on the back of the Direct Express Card. It has been almost four days since the initial request for the replacement card was made, and my mother-in-law urgently needs the new card to pay bills, purchase essential medication, and meet her daily living expenses. We kindly request swift resolution of this matter by updating her information and promptly issuing a new card to her address.

I have not received my card. My name is James Beveridge, and I need to update my address with the Social Security Administration. My new address is 25 Standard St, 3rd floor, Boston, MA [redacted]. Please send the card to this address urgently. Do not send it to my old address at 28 Bradford Street, Bridgewater, MA, as I no longer live there. I have not received a PIN for the card, so if any unauthorized transactions occur, Direct Express will be responsible. I have been unable to reach you by phone as I was on hold for more than 2 hours, and a staff member advised me to hang up. I suspect someone might have taken the card from the mail. Kindly expedite sending a new card to 25 Standard St, 3rd floor, Boston, MA [redacted]. Thank you.

I contacted the Social Security Administration at the Brockton office in Brockton, Massachusetts. They advised me to reach out to you, but due to time constraints, I am unable to stay on the phone for more than 15 minutes. I have not received my card, which has a PIN, and I am concerned that someone might be receiving my benefits. My social security number is [redacted]06. I have moved from [redacted] Bradford Street, Bridgewater, Massachusetts, and now reside at 25 Standard St, 3rd floor, Boston, MA [redacted]. I have not received the card at my new address, and I fear it may have been taken and activated elsewhere. I urgently request that you send the card to my new address via rush delivery to prevent any fraudulent activities. My previous attempts to have it delivered to my father were unsuccessful. I have not made any transactions on the account, and I am worried about the misuse of my benefits. Kindly expedite the card delivery to the new address provided.

I have been trying for 6 weeks to contact customer service to update my address and get a replacement card. As a disabled single mother, this income is crucial. I made a small online purchase before reporting my card missing, assuming the replacement would arrive in 7 days. However, after a week passed with no card, I called and found out it was returned to sender from a random location in Texas where I have never lived. It has now been a month and a half since I reported it missing. Every time I call, the recording states there is high call volume and disconnects. I am struggling without access to my funds. I have tried calling at different times without success. I am running out of options as the situation becomes increasingly frustrating.

I, James B., have not received my card sent to [redacted] Brendard St., Bridgewater, MA. My social security number is [redacted]-54-[redacted]. Please send it to my new address at 25 Stanford St., 3rd Floor, Boston, MA [redacted] via Express delivery. Social Security Administration deposits my money, and I need access to it. I am on SSI receiving $[redacted]. If I don't receive my card by the 1st of the month, I will contact the Boston Social Security office. Please send my card promptly as I require access to my funds.

I am not sure what's happening with my Direct Express card. I tried to update my address and other info by calling 1-[redacted]. I entered my 16-digit card number and was directed to customer service after a 31-minute hold. I spoke to a representative who requested a picture of my ID before sharing any information. I need an email address to send the picture to expedite unlocking my card. I'm eagerly waiting for a $1,[redacted] payment from the IRS, and I hope to resolve this issue quickly. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I need assistance urgently because I am unable to make my rent payment, which may lead to homelessness by the first of the month. Unfortunately, I am struggling to send the monthly rent money to my roommate due to my card being declined repeatedly by the issuer. Despite my calls for help, the representatives have not been able to resolve the situation. I have experienced being hung up on, given false information, and feel generally unaided in this predicament.

I recently had to order a new card from you due to someone attempting to transfer funds without my authorization. This replacement card was sent out on April 20th with a promised 2-day delivery, but to date, April 22nd, it has not arrived. When I called the customer support line, I was unable to speak to a representative, only hearing a recording about the card being mailed out and instructions if it was not authorized. My local post office could not track the number provided. I urgently need to resolve this issue to access my funds promptly. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. Sincerely, Lawrence E. Neblett

I have been using my Cash App account until February of this year, but it is now being declined by Direct Express. I have spoken to multiple representatives who claimed they fixed the issue, but it only worked once and then stopped again. Despite being told it was Cash App's problem, it seems to be Mastercard blocking my transactions. I even got a new card issued, which cost me money, and still faced the same problem. The representatives I spoke to need to address my problem without lying or hanging up on me. I am frustrated as if I am trying to reach the president; it is not user-friendly at all. I just want my Cash App to work again. I'm 68, disabled, and feel like I have been treated poorly. It does not make sense to me how my card went bad, had to pay for a new one, but the issue persists. Overall, the personnel have been rude, unhelpful, and unpleasant to deal with.

Since February [redacted], I have been trying to get assistance from Direct Express without success. I have encountered issues with my card that have caused a lot of frustration. Despite speaking to representatives multiple times and being assured that my account was fixed, the problem persists. Direct Express suggested it was a Mastercard issue, but contacting them didn't solve the problem either. I even purchased a new card as advised, but the same problem with transactions occurred. As a disabled individual who relies on this card for essential purchases, this situation has caused me immense stress and even led to a two-week bed rest period. I urge Direct Express to address these issues promptly.

I am facing ongoing issues with my Direct Express card, as it keeps getting declined for purchases. When I contact Direct Express, I am placed on hold with a repetitive message stating that representatives are busy and thanking me for my patience. I have been waiting for 45 minutes without any response. Since Direct Express is the designated debit card service for Social Security payments, it is concerning that they are not fulfilling their responsibilities promptly. It is crucial for them to answer customer calls promptly and resolve issues efficiently. I plan to escalate this matter to the relevant federal agency overseeing Direct Express to address their inadequate customer service.

I was recently hospitalized at Harlan Co. Hospital due to COVID-19 for the past three and a half weeks. During my stay, my niece Cari Lynn Nicole Saylor and Big Man Wallace Lee Saylor took advantage of me and stole from me while I was very sick. I am now left with nothing after surviving the ordeal. This has happened multiple times, and I want to take legal action against them. Please assist me in recovering my belongings as I am determined to prosecute them. They have a history of deceit and theft, and I refuse to let them get away with mistreating me. It is unjust that they have been dishonest and taken advantage of me, and I seek justice in this matter.

I live in the Philippines. My Direct Express card ending in [redacted] expired on March 31, [redacted]. I am Thomas Leland Rumler, retired since July [redacted]. I have already updated my address and sent necessary information via certified mail to the San Antonio Texas address. However, I have not received any response. I urgently need a new Direct Express card to access Covid relief and upcoming benefit payments. Please reach out to me through email as phone calls are challenging and costly from here. My address is [redacted] Kaybagal, South, Tagaytay City, Cavite, [redacted], Philippines. Thank you, Tom Rumler.

Hello, my name is Nicholas. I have been waiting all day for my Direct Express card to arrive in the mail. The phone automated service does not have updated information for tracking, and I am frustrated by the lack of accurate details about my card's delivery. I am inquiring why the workers cannot update the information promptly and provide me with the correct tracking number. I need to know if my card will arrive today so I can plan my schedule accordingly. I am disappointed with the delay since I paid for expedited service on Friday, and it is now Monday. If my card does not arrive today, I would like a refund for the expedited service. I have been trying to contact customer service all day, but I keep hearing about high call volumes and no one calls me back as promised. I am eager for someone to assist me promptly with resolving this issue. Thank you.

I recently discovered that my benefits were missing from my card at the beginning of the month. I was quite upset when I found out and attempted to contact customer service to no avail. I assumed I had misplaced the card or there was an issue, but after finding it, I realized only $[redacted] remained, which I quickly withdrew. In the midst of planning to order a new card, it disappeared again. While I suspect someone from a recent party took it, I cannot be certain. I have since ordered a replacement card but have not received it, and my missing funds need to be reimbursed as they were meant for my bills.

I ordered a replacement card on April 21st this year. I have been trying to get the card following the instructions provided but have not received it yet. I contacted Direct Express about [redacted] times. If you need proof, I can provide it upon request. Dealing with the company UPS has been a challenging experience, as their representatives do not seem very helpful. My complaint seems to be disregarded, and the promises made for delivery have not been fulfilled. Each time they assure me it will arrive the next day, but then the process starts over. It's frustrating that I can't speak to the same person twice due to the call routing system they use.
