They froze my sons account right after his $8000 tax return posted saying he needed to prove his identity. That was Jan 31. Have faxed 15 pages of identifying information because they needed to verify his identity. Have phoned numerous times and account still restricted. Wake up people..this company is asking for personal information and closing everyone accounts that have large tax returns. Somehow all this money just disappears ? I Know what they are up to. They want our information so they can close our accounts and open up new ones using our personal information. New accounts for themselves. Figure it out...they are committing identity theft against their own customers..First of all they ask us to fax w2s ? They are not the IAS. They did not prepare my taxes and that money was cleared through the IRS..its a scam and they are getting away with it by hiding behind the patriot act..not once is it ever mentioned how they secure our personal information..who has access to those documents or what happens to them..they will continue milking us and getting away with it unless we fight back..I mean come on now they must be breaking some federal laws here..we need to all the accountnow card holders who have gone through this to fight back and shut them down..lets all get together and file complaints with federal banking agencies state reps bbb, ftc, occ and particularly in CA. Since that's where they are headquartered. We need to make these people listen..Eventually if enough of us complain they will investigate..I'm ready to call the media and expose them for the crooks they are..I'm fed up, exhausted and broke thanks to account now

AccountNow will steal your money

THIS COMPANY IS A FRAUD AND WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY! THEY WILL COME UP WITH DIFFERENT EXCUSES EACH TIME YOU CALL, SEND YOU TO AN ANSWERING MACHINE AND THEN CHARGE YOU EACH TIME YOU CALL!
THEY ROTATE YOUR CALLS AMONG THE FEW PEOPLE THEY HAVE WORKING IN THIS SCAM COMPANY. AFTER FAXED INFORMATION REGARDING LAWS AGAINST WHAT THEY WERE DOING AND INFORMATION REGARDING OTHER PATRONS THAT WERE READY TO DO A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST THEM...THEY FINALLY RELEASED MY FUND BACK TO THE IRS. THIS WENT ON ABOUT 2 MONTHS BEFORE THEY FINALLY SAID WE WILL SEND IT BACK. THEY ADVERTISE THAT THEY WILL GIVE LOANS WHILE YOU ARE SURFING THE WEB AND MIND YOU THIS IS A PREPAID DEBIT CARD COMPANY. WELL...WHERE IS THE MONEY THEY ARE LOANING COMING FROM ?...OTHER PATRONS THAT TRUST THEM WITH THEIR MONEY? THEY ARE AFFILIATED WITH METABANK AND METABANK HAS A PARTNERSHIP WITH MANY DEBIT CARD COMPANIES BUT THIS IS THE FIRST PROBLEM THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH ANY DEBIT CARD COMPANY AND I HAVE TRIED MANY OTHERS WITH METABANK AFFILIATION.
INTEREST IS BUILT ON MONEY THAT THEY HOLDS AND THIS IS ILLEGAL PROFIT. I UNFORTUNATELY REVIEWED OTHER COMPLAINTS ONCE I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR SERVICE. SO MANY COMPLAINTS! ON VARIOUS WEBSITES. THEY CLAIMED THEY DID NOT THINK I WAS ME AND ONCE I SENT EVERY DOCUMENT THAT WAS REQUESTED(CAUSE I INITIALLY I DID APPRECIATE THE SECURITY) THEY CONTINUED TO REQUEST MORE AND OR SAY THEY NEVER RECEIVED IT. WHAT IS VERY HARD FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND IS WHY DID THEY OPEN MY ACCOUNT IF THEY DID NOT THINK I WAS ME. I HAD MONEY DEPOSITED INTO THE ACCOUNT BEFORE I HAD REQUESTED MY INCOME TAX RETURN BE DEPOSITED AND THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. IT WAS NOT UNTIL I HAD A LARGE DEPOSIT(ONLY ABOUT 2, 000 DOLLARS) THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN I AM NOT ME.
I FAXED ALL THE INFORMATION I HAVE REGARDING THEIR SCAM AND HOW I WOULD GET WITH OTHERS THAT THEY HAD STOLE MONEY FROM OR OTHERWISE HELD THEIR MONEY AND INCONVENIENCED GREATLY. THIS COMPANY HAS DISREGARD FOR THE FEDERAL REGULATION LAWS. TRUST THEM WITH YOUR MONEY AND YOU MAY VERY WELL NE THEIR NEXT VICTIM.

AccountNow prepaid credit card scam

I signed up for the prepaid accountnow card, which states it will charge a $9.95 fee to all first time deposits into the account. However, I've yet to deposit any money into the account (as I had realized through other people's posts that it was a scam) and they still charged me for the deposit. I can't get through to customer service, and I want to just cancel the card. I'm not trying to get worse credit than I already have.

AccountNow I will never do business with them again

First I would like to say Account Now is a total FRAUD.You should not do business with them ! Some kind of way someone got access to my card information and my address and my personal info.and used 275.00 out of my account when I called account now to depute the charge they said that yhe money was used to purchase a web gift card .Whatever thats supposed to be.They needed me to sign and notarize a statement that I had nothing to do with the charge I did all that they asked of me . And then the games began now there saying that someone used the money to rent a utility truck in Arizona I never been to Arizona.they gave me a number to contact the supposed to be company it was no good. I called the operator in Arizona and they said the number is no good because it stays off the hook all day.Now I have spoken to about 7 pepole and they keep saying they are going to send me a copy of the sales draft that claimes to have mailed me this gift card.Is this about a gift card or a truck rental now im confused .So I never got that sales draft and my dispute was denied .when I asked for the merchants info. they said all they could give me is that same bad number which is now diconnected by the way.I will NEVER do bussiness with them again they totaly suck .I think that they took my money If I had a lawyer i would sue the filthy rich pants off of them .TOTALLY NOT FAIR TAKE FROM THE POOR GIVE TO THE RICH!

I know of 8 different people plus myself who used Account Now for their tax refund because of the early delivery of the funds. Account Now accepted our tax returns and after about 4 days they suddenly blocked the cards. One person was in the middle of shopping when her card got blocked. They could not give an explanation as to why it was blocked only that documents were needed to confirm identity. We have sent these people our whole life documents and still no release of the funds. After they got our documents they proceeded to say they closed the account and sent the money back to the IRS and it would take 6 weeks for the IRS to get it. Mind you the IRS stated that Account Now was the 3rd recipient and they originally sent the money to University Bank. Account Now refuses to provide me with any more information. Even though they have my full identity and all of my money along with others.I know of 8 different people plus myself who used Account Now for their tax refund because of the early delivery of the funds.

On Jan. 29, 2010 both of our Federal returns were deposited into my my account. They closed the account telling me that I participated in an illegal deposit! They then told me that both of our refunds were sent back to the IRS. We contacted the IRS and they told us that they have NOT returned the deposits! I am VERY fed-up with AccountNow. I will never do business with them again. It's been over 2 weeks now and guess what - ACCOUNTNOW is making a million dollars + just on the INTEREST alone sitting in THEIR account.

AccountNow gave me wrong routing number

This company sucks. Got my new prepaid debit card. In the letter where i recieved my card, it gave me a routing and account number..with a nifty tear off card to keep in my wallett. I used this card to file my taxes. Come to find out, the routing number is completely wrong. Called account now, and they simpy replied that that routing number goes to another bank. I was on the phone for 45 mins. I look up the other bank and call them. They are in fact parters with account now.. but they coud not help me! You have to Call account now they said. So i did, again.. and there is nothing acount now do about sending out people their new debit card with paperwork with the WRONG routing number. Now i have to wait and see if my refund is returend.. and then wait for a paper check.. how dumb. This company sucks!

Well I guess the complaints are only coming from people that recieved their taxes on a new card that they had just recieved, because I have had my card for about 3 years and have had my taxes to go to my card every year, And I have never had a problem with account now, and my payroll check goes direct deposit every payday. It seems like it was scamed only on the people who had just started using the cards. I'm not gonna say that it want happen to me but if it does it's gonna either be my employer fault or account now.

AccountNow account now froze my account

Account Now froze my account on Monday, May 24, 2010. When I called I was told it was frozen due to "suspicious activity" on my account. I had recieved a refund on my card that they flagged my account for. I was asked to fax in documents, which I promptly did. I received a fax confirmatioon tuesday morning from sending them in to Acct. Now. I was told that my funds would be released by wednesday morning, they were not. I called, a representative in the risk deptartment informed me that they were in review and would be released to me that afternoon. They were not.
I called this morning (thursday, May 27) I was AGAIN told that they were in review. I was also told that my fax hadnt been received until Wednesday even though I discussed the fax with a representative on Tuesay! So they just bought themselves another 24 hours with my money...I am 6 months pregnant and high risk. As of now I have no money, no gas, and my phone bill that is usually debited from my account now card was unable to process because of this. We are coming up on a holiday weekend, I rescheduled my ultrasound appt 3 times this week because I was promised that my money would be available. Every rep I talk to tells me something different. I am terrified of being home on a 3 day weekend without ANY money and my phone being disconnected. This company is shady, I feel like they are stealing from me. I am filing a complaint with the BBB.

AccountNow they claimed my tax refund did not belong to me

I had part of my federal tax refund go onto my accountnow debit card on 1/29. I used the card several times that day without problem. Next day, my card was decined. I had to wait until business hours to call accountnow. Monfay 2/1 I called. They requested that I fax my driver's lic. SS card, utility bill & w-2's. I am self employed and do not have w-2's. I was given no reason why, but my account had been lockes. I had $1853.90 in my account that I could not access. I caled several times over the next 3 days without a resolution. I was always told that someone would call me back within 24 hours. I was not allowed to speak with anyone but customer service. On 2/4 I received a call from a "lady" at accountnow. She told me that "unfortunately my account was being closed" They claimed my tax refund did not belong to me, even after I sent the faxed items proving my ID. They are supposedly returning my refund to the IRS. There is no way to describe the hardship that this has left me facing.

The same thing has happened to my mom's SS and government retirement annuity. Meta Bank just keeps changing the names of these frauds. Now they call it " Netspend " . We are being stonewalled too. Meta Bank swears they are not receiving my mom's $$$ but we know they are lying! She has lost at least 3 months of her income to these crooks. Her credit union acct. went into arrears by $2300 from bad checks and NSF fees because all of her $$ was diverted to Meta Bank. My mom has dementia and the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, as if that isn't bad enough, now she's a victim of the worse kind of greed.

AccountNow tax refund

This company has not rejected our state taxes. they are holding them still after a week. We have sent in all the documents to verify who we are, and still no contact back from anyone, even though they state they will call you within 3 days. They removed my husband from our account and set up another account without our authorization. They do not allow you to call and speak to anyone in the fraud department or risk department. They block you out and steal your money.

Hi I'm Anthony Hudson, I faxed over documents.Did taxes through ez-tax return sponsered on Accountnow site. I contacted EZ-tax return no help. Nowhere like SBBT the best in getting your refund to you mailed checks and all.
Im complain. Im planning on just getting rich by lawsuit. Many people post on this Risk Department Fraud. Its more like embezzlement and money laundering being investigated. Direct your theft complaint to the FBI. There is a 98% chance of getting crooks arrested and answers to the victims about our money. They freeze your money and make double money. Faxing documents is a safety procedure that is being used to cover fraud tactics.
If you just call the FBI and state your complaint. I hate this company. my funds been locked since 06-22-2011. on address issues. I have completed the fax game numerous times. I need my money to keep my lights on and feed my family. Dont worry we the people can just shut account now down. Start filing complaints with the FBI everyday they have your money and you have faxed documents by Federal Goverment Employees. Great credible witnesses. send the same fax to you opointed investigator...jnsjrrd at aol

AccountNow unwanted visa debit card

I received THREE prepaid Visa debit cards in the mail today from AccountNow. I do not want, nor did I request these cards. All have my name on them, my correct postal address and their own unique account number.

Their customer service number is operated by recordings. How do I find out where they got my information and how do I make sure these accounts are closed?

They are prepaid cards, you have to put money on them in order for them to work. You can just cut them up and throw them out. You can talk to a live representative if you call during their normal business hours.

AccountNow misleading advertising

My sister signed up with them under the guise of building her credit, having had an account closed during hard times. She has since paid off the debt to her old bank, and is trying to reestablish her credit foundation. After receiving her card (to which I was immediately skeptical about, having no approval procedures other than "give us your billing information, and we'll handle screwing you-er, .. I mean "the rest"), she was instantly discouraged by their charges for *everything, charges for customer service, charges she says for cancellation, charges for the "privilege" of letting them play with your money until you use it. *Garbage. This is not a credit card, it is a VISA *Debit card which has no affect on your credit positively or negatively. *Useless. She was charged $10.00 for sign up (on a website that makes a killing (I bet) on the sales pitch "FREE SIGN UP, *INSTANT APPROVAL". I will be looking into helping her cancel it, (in the terms and conditions, . it mentions calling/writing them to withdraw consent). Needless to say I am disgusted that companies like this exist to prey on those already in trouble, it makes my skin crawl to think of their grubby hands counting this money at night. Hope you are sleeping well you ###.

@sassy lady - she says "in the terms and conditions" which means they did read it. The fact that they are stating here that they were "blind sided" by the fees. They did not see these terms in the TOS. they are supposed to have these listed on the webpage for any charges.

the site may have been a fake site that isnt affiliated with visa which would explain it. dub-out it though.

AccountNow bad customer service

This company is a joke. I have been asking for a replacement card since the 13th of January, and today is the 21st of Feburary and I still do not have it. They keep saying they send me one and I do not recieve it. I depend on my SSI benefits for my living. My funds are deposited to this company, and I can't even pay a bill online or transfer money unless I have the new card. I am a 50 year old women with problems and unable to move around quickly. I have had to ask the church for food since I am unable to my money out of this account.

Please DO NOT OPEN AN ACCOUNT WITH THE COMPANY MENTIONED. THEY ARE THIEVES.

We are having to deal with the IRS, the FBI, the BBB AND the Federal Trade Commission all at the same time because AccountNow Inc. "stole" our federal tax returns five weeks ago, and never returned it back to the feds! WE HATE ACCOUNTNOW! Spread the word what they are doing. We are talking $10, 000 here!

AccountNow they froze my card and won't reply

In the beginning of May, 2008 I contacted my credit card company (Account Now Visa) and advised them that someone used my credit card without my permission, they said they would investigate and I would hear from they in 30 days, in 30 days I received a letter stating that they couldn't do anything because someone also used my pin number, that was that.

This is July 11th, it is also Friday, I discovered at 2:30pm that account now froze my funds, I called a total of 8 times, Customer Service said the person that froze the accoount, did so because of my complaint in MAY, since then I have mad regular payments, so I cannot for the world understand WHY HAVE THEY FROZE MY ACCOUNT?

No one calls you back, they say they will, but they don't, they keep putting me on hold, I got this card so I don't carry cash, I have no way to get gas, to buy food, I am in real trouble and I told them, I told them I want my money, I answered all their security questions, but they just say someone will call.
