I currently have two accounts and I recently disputed three charges that my boyfriend mistakenly made while ordering services. I requested the overdraft fees be waived as a courtesy since it was not my error. Despite disputing the charges, I didn't report the card stolen. Upon checking my email, I found out that the card was reported stolen by netspend. I activated the netspend card received by mail, but encountered an issue with the verification code sent to the incorrect phone number originally listed. I updated the phone number and tried to access my initial account, which still shows a negative balance of $11. I am in need of assistance as I have been struggling to reach a live agent.

I am inquiring about the recent charges on my card. I find it concerning to be charged $1.50 for each transaction. This fee was not in place before I upgraded my card. If I had been aware of this change, I would not have proceeded with the upgrade. In the past month alone, I have accumulated $22.45 in charges from using my card for everyday purchases. This extra cost has a significant impact on my ability to provide necessities for my family, such as diapers and food. I am open to paying a monthly fee for your services, but being charged for every transaction is excessive and unsustainable for me, especially considering the current financial strain due to COVID. I hope we can find a resolution as I value our cardholder relationship.

I received a text from Netspend about a possible unauthorized use of my card. They instructed me to call to order a new card and number, but after trying various numbers for 2 days, I haven't been able to reach a human. I'm frustrated with the automated system as it doesn't recognize my card number. The inefficiency of the customer service has left me feeling unsupported. I expected a new card quickly, but now I'm considering switching to a different bank with better service. It's crucial for me to have access to my money, and this experience is testing my patience. I hope to hear back soon.

This is the third time I'm reaching out about an issue on this site. It's been frustrating dealing with Netspend as they don't seem to value their customers. I've been attempting to resolve a problem for four days now, which other banks would have sorted in 15 minutes. I haven't been able to speak to a human yet or received any communication from Netspend. The site requires a code sent to your phone to proceed, but I never receive it despite them having the correct number. It's frustrating as this is their error. I'm at a standstill in resolving this matter. Netspend has lost my business, and I plan to share my negative experience on social media. Their TV ads are misleading, and I'm deeply disappointed in their service.

I am having trouble reconciling the balance on my NetSpend online card with my budget, and it does not match up with the expected amount. I also require the correct bank account and routing numbers associated with my previous prepaid card that I recently upgraded to the NetSpend Premier Bank card. I am unable to access the old account where my direct deposit was set up, causing issues with managing my unemployment payments. I am disappointed with the lack of assistance in verifying my bank account with unemployment and the absence of live customer support 24/7. This situation is disheartening as it affects my ability to make important decisions regarding my finances. I am in need of prompt assistance to address these discrepancies. Sincerely, Chumpster

I previously had a Netspend debit card that I only used to receive my first stimulus payment of $[redacted]. After spending all the money, I got rid of the card and didn't keep any details because I wasn't aware there would be another stimulus check. Now, the IRS informed me twice that my second and third stimulus payments were also sent to that same Netspend account. I don't remember the email associated with it as I've had many over the years. The IRS provided me with the last four digits of the card, which are [redacted], and confirmed the payment was deposited on March 17th, [redacted]. I need help accessing the money or transferring it to my new Netspend card that I recently received but have not been able to set up in my name.

I believe my paycheck was wrongly deposited into someone else's NetSpend account without my permission. Even after contacting NetSpend and them conducting an investigation, they confirmed my suspicion that my paycheck was spent by another individual. According to their policy, the name on the account should match the direct deposit. Despite this oversight, NetSpend has not taken responsibility, and I am left without my full paycheck. I have also contacted my payroll company, who may reissue a check if there is evidence that I didn't receive the funds. I urge NetSpend to rectify this situation and reimburse me for the lost wages promptly. It's essential for me to have access to my paycheck as soon as possible.

Netspend issued me a refund by check, but unfortunately, the check had an expiration date of which I was unaware. When I tried to cash it at the nearest check-cashing store, they explained that by the time the check cleared, it would be expired. Despite waiting for an hour and 45 minutes, providing all necessary information, and signing the check, it had essentially become old and unusable. I have attempted to contact Netspend through various channels but have only reached automated services that do not address my specific problem. It has been almost a year since this issue began, and I am facing numerous challenges in my life that make every penny crucial. I respectfully urge Netspend to reissue the expired uncashed check promptly to avoid any legal complications over the $[redacted] owed to me.

I lost my NetSpend all-access debit card. After I reported it lost, I found out my account doesn't exist. I've been trying for over a month to get it resolved, but each time I contact customer service, it's a dead end. I provided all the required information, like my pet's name, which I've only had two of in the 20+ years I've been with them. They claimed to send a new card to my old address, but it was returned as stolen. Despite this, they won't let me access my funds. I used to log in with my social security number and PIN, but since reporting my card stolen, I've been completely locked out. Even when I provide the correct answers to security questions, I still can't access my account. I was told I had a username I never set up, and a temporary password was sent to my email, but I never received it. I urgently need access to my money for rent and groceries, but I'm stuck in limbo with their customer service.

I encountered an issue with my NetSpend account when my card was lost and they were unable to replace it, offering to send a check instead. I was asked for a bill in my name at the address to receive the check, but as I lived with my sister, I didn't have one. Despite providing my ID, it was deemed insufficient. As time elapsed, I lost track of my account details, which were connected to my taxes. I disputed the missing funds from the initial card that someone else used, but I lost the dispute and never received the remaining funds. Despite numerous calls, the customer service insisted on the bill requirement, causing frustration and leading to my lack of follow-up calls. There should be a record of all cards issued and activated for me, indicating the owed money by NetSpend. I hope for guidance on how to recover the funds.

I am experiencing an issue while trying to transfer money from one account to yours. When I enter my routing and account numbers, I am prompted to verify my code which includes my username. Unfortunately, I am unsure of my username as my previous phone was stolen with all my login information. I recently activated the card and do not remember my password either. Can someone please contact me promptly at [redacted] to assist me in resolving this matter? I urgently need to transfer funds from another account to this one as my new card is inoperable due to the username/password issue. Your prompt assistance is greatly appreciated.

I received a text instructing me to contact you internationally. I have my all access card ready to activate instead of waiting for a new one. I want to transfer funds from my blocked account to my all access card, but I need to activate it first. I've encountered challenges with customer service representatives before, with some even hanging up on me. I plan to file a complaint as this impacts my government check. I've been trying to seek help since 8 pm, but haven't received any assistance yet. I am in urgent need of support due to my mental illness. It's almost 10 pm and the office will close soon. I urgently need access to my money for rent and food. Please assist me promptly.

I recently set up my NetSpend account online and experienced issues when trying to transfer funds. The NetSpend team locked my account citing suspicious activity and requested various verification documents such as my social security card, state ID, and proof of address. Despite explaining my situation – that my proof of address did not match my ID due to a recent move – the verification was still denied. This has left me in a tough spot as I cannot access my funds to provide for my 8-month-old baby who needs essentials like milk, diapers, and wipes. I am struggling as a single mother and the delay in unlocking my account is causing significant financial strain. I urge NetSpend to reconsider and unlock my account promptly so I can care for my daughter.

I have been unable to use my card for weeks due to it being declined. I cannot log in either. Please unblock my card ending in [redacted]. I have tried using Google Pay, Samsung Pay, and Apple Pay, but none of them work. Despite the phone stating my balance is fine, there seems to be an issue. I am not able to reach NetSpend, and I am frustrated after countless weeks. My PIN is [redacted], and my username is darr1966. If this issue persists, I will have no choice but to stop using NetSpend altogether.

I am frustrated that my husband's card was cancelled last week and now mine has been too. He is a truck driver and this is how he sends money to our family. My card was cancelled because I answered no to a text message! Now I can't reach a live person for help because the card is cancelled. I need to speak with someone urgently before it's too late, as without a new card, my family will suffer. Your customer service is essential in situations like these.

I lost my Netspend card, which is in my name, Sherri Quinn. The card number is 5[redacted] 8[redacted], expiration date 06/25, and security code [redacted]. I recently filled out a payday loan online with my boyfriend, but used a different card under the username sherriandjavier, which I cannot access now. I'm unable to retrieve the money, and I'm requesting to transfer the funds from the lost card to my current one provided above. My social security number is [redacted] 30 [redacted], and my address is [redacted] SW Windsong Cir Bldg 06 Apartment [redacted], Lake City, FL [redacted]. The lost cards may have been sent to [redacted] Bynum Ave, Live Oak, FL. I'm specifically looking for $[redacted] from the previous transaction.

I have been trying to reach a manager on the phone, but have been constantly getting the run-around. Earlier today, I loaded $30.00 onto my card, planning to use it for my games on Facebook as soon as I got home. I had explicitly stated that I did not want any direct deposit when I got the card, only to use it for online purposes. However, I was charged an extra $8.00 for something I never authorized. The customer service representative claimed I overdrafted $4.48 at a store, which is not possible as I do not have overdraft protection on this card. Additionally, they deducted $5.95 for a monthly fee that I never agreed to. I am extremely frustrated by this situation at 48 years old and am considering seeking legal advice from my family attorney due to this unjust deduction.

I am reaching out today seeking urgent assistance. I have been a satisfied Netspend customer with multiple accounts. Unfortunately, my recent experiences with your phone representatives have been frustrating. Despite asking not to be transferred and explaining a medical need, I felt disrespected and misunderstood. My situation is compounded by personal challenges due to COVID-19, a disability, and recent hardships. I have been unable to access my funds as my account is flagged for fraud, impacting my ability to receive Colorado unemployment payments. I have provided requested documents but haven't received a resolution. I urgently need my accounts unfrozen and my name removed from the fraud list. I am willing to provide any additional necessary information for assistance. Please contact me via email.

I need assistance with retrieving the remaining balance of $1,[redacted].72 from my closed account. Two checks were sent to an outdated address, which I no longer reside at. Despite canceling the checks, I have not received my funds. The company is now requesting multiple verifications, including IDs, before releasing the funds. I find this process unfair and frustrating. I have provided all necessary information over the phone but am still unable to access my money without uploading documents. I called customer service, but there is no designated site to upload the documents. I just want to get my money and move on. Your help in resolving this matter would be appreciated.

I purchased a Netspend card from Walmart, but encountered issues activating it. After contacting Netspend, they sent a check which I was unable to cash. My father will transfer the $[redacted] to his Netspend card. Despite multiple calls this week, we have not received a solution from Netspend, as they either promise a callback from another department or abruptly end the call. The funds are rightfully mine, as my father reimbursed me, and he is considering legal action if the matter is not resolved promptly.
