NetSpend non compliance

My card was lost due to a death in the family for almost a year, it had never been used from the original
Amount I spent:$50.00; never activated.
Netspend/allaccessgift.com had put a block on the card.
When I called, stating the facts, giving numbers and verified all info, they said the block would be
Lifted and I could use it at anytime.
Five phones calls later, I was never able to use the card, every time, in any business it was denied and I was told
It was blocked.
Every time I called them, I was curtly told it was ready for use.
I became weary of dealing with their horrible customer service and...
I found out on my third call to them, they had deducted, their "service/maintenance " charges
And there was a balance of $8.51 ! Which I could never use.
Why? Is this place still ripping customers to death? And getting away with it?
Shame on everyone not doing something about this scamming company of thiefs.

I got scammed by them too. My card had a block on it and they were deducting monthly fees while it was blocked. I haven't tried to use the balance so I don't know if they really lifted the block or if they are planning on stealing the rest of the money. I will post again after I try to use my card. What they are doing is certainly unethical and should be illegal.

Thank you TravV...

However, NetSpend is not very forthcoming about whatever issues that say they are having; and if this is actually the case, then they should reimburse folk for the fees they incur by not having the Premier Feature activated on their account, no matter what the excuse...

Premier was originally set up for accounts that were created after July 09. They informed me that older customers that meet the requirements will be able to upgrade once they have the problem in their system corrected. I believe they can fill out a form for you and will contact you once the issue is fixed.

NetSpend rip offs

Netspend is a rip-off. They charge you $1.00 -2.00 (depending on if you use your card as a debit or credit) everytime you buy something. They also charge a monthly maintenance fee. If you do not check the fees you will be screwed.

If you enter into ANY AGREEMENT/CONTRACT you need to READ the FULL scope of it...

Sure, they have fees, so do many banks and credit unions. If you read the agreement you made, its there in BLACK AND WHITE, and it is NOT at the bottom in small print and it is NOT in words that are hard for anyone to understand...its really easy to understand if you READ the stuff!

In fact, when you go to your account online, you can see your fee program ANYTIME...also they do offer various programs based on how often you use the atm, how often you make purchases vs atm's...etc...so do yourself a favor, instead of blaming others, READ what you AGREE to, its not anyone else's fault for your not understanding what you sign up for...and if you can not read, thats ok too, if you cant read, then what are you doing agreeing to anything without knowing the ins and outs? You can either get your questions about fees/rules/policies/etc where you purchase the card, or by calling the service number...

...and if you are complaining about bad customer service..well,
I cant argue too much there, as the majority of the front line service employees at netspend cant even speak english, let alone UNDERSTAND it...BUT, instead of getting hot and bothered and upset, ask for a supervisor or someone who could understand you better...and you will get the answers you need...plain and simple...HOWEVER, I do not think this is soley a netspend issue, its EVERY COMPANY out there today, EVERY SINGLE COMPANY has the same horrible service...big banks, big cable companys, BIG cell phones.. you name it, if its a BIG company, it means long wait times and bad front line customer service...so if you are here simply complaining about netspend having bad/long service waits, I would have to think you are posting at every compnay you deal with...and trust me WE ALL KNOW BIG companies have HORRIBLE service...to come here and make a complaint about that, well, take a look at every big company here..same issues...its not right, but its also pretty EXPECTED in calling any company these days unfortuenately...

Since banks nowadays are getting billions of dollars from overdraft fees, I can see why Netspend charges transaction fees -- they do not allow you to overdraft. After viewing their information it looks like there is also a 9.95 a month plan that will waive the debit and credit fees. The maintenance fee is only charged if you do not use your card in a certain period of time.

NetSpend complaints

I've had Netspend Card for some time now and I was reading about some of your complaints, and I have several, for the latest, their I have to file a dispute over this merchant for this amount they charged me that I didn't authorized and before netspend would just lood into it and get it back for me, now since I can't get ahold of the company they went out of business or something I have to file a dipute and it takes forever to get my money (not to mention the hassel) and who knows if there's a cost. Also I've been having them pay my bills on line and they been getting them paid but every month I have to check to make sure they go out in time and that they have the correct amout, I thought that's what they were suppose to do for you without worry, I guess I was wrong. I called them and they didn't even reconigese one of my bills, and that was my rent. I'm not sure what to do. Does anyone out there no of another good debit card company I don't have to pay all there bills and I can get all there services for free, or at least close to so I can do my banking without worry, I can't go to a regular bank or credit bank my credit sucks. Thanks you.

I have a NetSpend card and had to go through a dispute. Yes you do have to fax in a statement stating why you are disputing the charge(which is a requirement for most financial institutions) and yes it does take time, but I was able to win my claim and get my money back. They do not charge anything for disputes.
I have also used the bill pay option a few times and from what I understand, the user has to input the amount and dates for it to be taken out.
From all my research I have found that NetSpend has great features and reasonably priced for a prepaid debit card.

Discover has a pre-paid debit card that works the same way but is backed by Discover -they have really good practices and you dont have to worry about any of this crap. I'd go there! They also dont have a credit check or anything like that. You can get it on their website.

Veronica V. Thompson I won Lottery in the year of 2007. When filling out the forum I put my Netspend Prepaid information in. I call and spoke to Customer Service and was given the information about the account number and routing number. So on September 18, 2007 at 12:45 am I received a text message from Netspend on my cell phone.And at the top of the message it had 18 - 20 numbers then it says deposit from Hoosier Lottery made to then it had the account number. Then it had the amount of deposit for 3854.13 dollars. Then I was already on my computer at that time so, I went online and look at my account. Then I open a saving account and transfer some of money to the saving account. Then I was working making good money and didn't need to use that money. So when I went to use the money but had loss the card. I was told they have no record of that money at all. I have been trying to get this money for a decade, on September 18, 2017 it will be a decade. Now when I speak with people that are suppose to be from Netspend they ask me to give them proof like the account information. Well because they believe i can't come with that information. They playing me, I copy and back up all that information on my old computer that crash and I have not been able to recover the information. And i give them the account information and they are able to pull the information and they say that the money is there then what. They have withholding this money from me for a decade. The money that is in the savings account should be earning crease on it. And why do I have to prove anything they text me and told me that my money was there. and I open that saving account and made that deposit that very night. Why want his company give me my money I need help. vbowers38@yahoo.com [protected].

I had someone paypal me emergency money so I could eat last night. When i tried to transfer it over to my netspend card, I was told that wasn't allowed anymore. Even though netspend still falsely advertises being compatible with paypal.

I issued a refund to the person and told them just transfer the funds to the netspend card directly.
They transfered the funds, their statements show the transfer, and according to netspend the transfer should have occured within minutes. This was over twelve hours ago. When I was able to reach a woman whom I could barely understand, I explained that they stole my money. She told me their records indicate no such transfer took place, then told me such transfers are prohibited.
Even though I was previously given the routing number, account number and told that is all I need, and that it should go through directly.
[censor] YOU netspend, you owe me $65 worth of bananas and cheeseburgers and i am looking into who i should hirie to sue your sorry [censor].

NetSpend funds frozen

I have had several reloadable netspend cards, since I cashed a check at a local check cashing center and they suggested I could load funds on one to pay my bills online. My disabled brother has his social security being deposited onto one of their cards, also. This month we were supposed to move on 9/1/09. I've been saving the money on one card. On 8/25/09 I received a credit onto my reloadable card from returning a clawfoot tub faucet. Ever since the credit, netspend has frozen my account and all the funds! This means my brother and I can't move... And their customer service center in austin, tx is all esl people that are rude and hard to understand. They wanted the faucet co. To send proof of my purchase. They faxed it. Then they wanted my receipt. I faxed it 3 times. They still won't allow me to take my money. I have held on the phone for hours every day, and they just repeat their stupid policies over and over. They said it's against "visa/mastercard rules" for them to accept a credit from a purchase I made with another card. They keep saying my faxes are "invalid" because they are not "the original receipt. " yet they accepted the refund into the account. I asked for a copy of their policy and they said "it is not our policy to give customers a copy of our policy. " I have had to postpone my move, and file complaints with tx better business bureau and the tx attorney general. I have no idea when I will get my money. This is fraud with a capital f!

A horrible company to deal with. So disappointed. My 83 year old mother had her va benefits deposited because she is homebound and i am her caregiver. I use that account for her care.. Or was going to but the day after the deposit netspend froze the account "for her protection" and refused to release the funds until she provides all sorts of documents. Several calls and hours of frustrating communications and in the evening some guy from "corporate" calls my elderly mother and guarantees her account is in good standing and everything is fine... We still can't access her funds. She has not current photo id because she is homebound and elderly... They won't accept anything helpful and certainly refuse to work with us. So her va funds have been confiscated and she has no access to her money. So poor 83 yr old war widow can't get her money to live or pay bills. If i were not here.. How would she live? Netspend is a horrible company. Lying to an elderly woman is beneath contempt.

Same thing happen to me as i even forewarned 2 consecutive days that a merchant credit for a certain amount more than i purchased was to soon be credited to my account and both times each rep said ok and my card has no holds and will be processed once received. I even wrote a message from my account prior stating the details in writing and response was sent to me still prior to credit stating generic response of 3-5 days and willbe taken care of.

Well tuesday i wake to text alert of my credit, go to grocery store and boom embarassment and later find locked. When i told u 3 times twice by phone and written. Financial systems security... I think not! You processed funds that you knew would lock account and didnt provide me the correct information and mislead me. If it was unauthorized then you don't process regardless to take the proper steps for verification. And stop misleading because that is fraud.

I purchased 2 $500 reload packs a month ago but cannot load the funds onto the cards. I did the same things that the other complaintants have done per request of netspend and have not received an answer from them. And now they wont reply to my emails at all. Since then i have been evicted from my home and my bank account was closed due to indefficiant funds. I never thought losing $1000.00 would screw my life up that bad. And netspend dont care in the least

Banking regulations require financial institutions to monitor accounts for certain events. A merchant posting a refund to a different card than the one used for the original purchase fits that description. Your bank can't see the original purchase on the account, so it can't verify the source of the funds is legitimate. The process your bank is following is designed to prevent money laundering and theft from merchants. While I’m sure you’re not doing anything like that, the bank is just following the procedure it follows to protect the public and insure the security of its accounts.

If the situation can’t be resolved with documentation (like an original purchase receipt), the bank will likely send the money back to the merchant where you can return to get your refund another way. To avoid this problem in the future, insure that merchants only refund purchases using the card that was involved in the original purchase or in cash. That’s the rule merchants are supposed to follow and it will avoid these problems for you!

NetSpend refused to release my funds.

I activated a pre-paid credit card with this company. They took my money, however after I provided them with the requested information, they would not activate my card. Their customer service was non-existant. I stayed on the line for literally hours. Each representative refused to help and would simply keep placing me on hold for more than an hour so that I would hang up and call again, or worse, send me to an automated number that would force me to start the procedure all over again. Last representative I spoke with was Irma and she would not give her last name or employee id. She currenly has me on hold for 1 hour and 13 minutes.

NetSpend irs refund direct deposit do not do!!

I recently just had my irs refund direct deposited on my netspend card. The day it was suppose to be loaded, I checked my account and the money wasn't there. When I called to speak to someone about it, they told me because of the amount of the refund it was subject to verification. I was assured the money would be released in 4 hours. After the 4 hours needless to say the money still was not released. I called back and they said that I had to fax in a copy of my paycheck stub! What type of verification process is that! I faxed it in anyway and was assured that as soon as they received my paperwork they would release my money. After an additional 2 hours, I called back and the claimed that they haven't received the fax yet. They say that they receive the faxes by batch and it could take 6 to 8 hours for them to receive it. The next day my money still was not released and nobody had any answers why. After being on hold for an hour and 12 minutes, I was informed that the deposit was sent back because they couldn't verify anything. I was disgusted and disappointed. I had to wait 2 weeks for the refund to get back to the irs and another 2 weeks for them to send it to me in check form. I quickly closed my account with netspend after that and encourage all who are netspend customers to do the same!

Netspend is a gang of rude bullies and thieves. Who gives them the power to steal and violate their own terms of service.I recieved a deposit that was locked immediately until I provided documentation to verify the source of deposit. I provided the documentation and the account was unlocked. some time later without notice it was again locked. netspend asked for id documents which i provided and acct stayed locked. when I inquired i began getting mysteriously disconnected frequently. they refused me any avenue to contact besides calling customer service and allowing the agents to ignore what i was saying and literally start from scratch every time. no person to contact no email no supervisors and no information. It had been many months and netspend just sits on my funds. They say that the depositor will not reply so that I must obtain a letter from the depositor releasing netspend from all liability for anything having to do with any claims i guess. i am positive that netspend would never sign such a letter. i told them to return the funds to depositor so I could recieve it. they refused. said i must provide some agreement from bank to bank and nothing to do with me and I doubt highly they would even accept such an official document from 3rd party anyway. So then I asked these thieves if they just planned to keep my money then? since the depositor has no claim or interest and theyyyy cannot talk to them as proffesional banks even but expect I can? for one if they need it its their job to get it. not mine. they are just setting unrealistic conditions. I ask if they would just be taking my money for themselves or what? thek said no they would hold it for like 6 yesrs and then turn into state fund for unclaimed funds and i could get it then! i said how will i find it there? what do you mean they said? when I claim it in many years how will i identify this unclaimed money? what do you mean? they say...well your telling me some nonsense about cant verify identity. and im right here asking for funds this is hardly unclaimed. well you will use your name they said...wtf? so youll say you cant verify me but youll eventually surrender the funds in my name as unclaimed. insanity. The terms of service allows just a temporary hold and that if not satified they would close account and submit funds by check to address on account or digital transfer to designated account. they simply leave me on hold endlessly until it rings again then cuts me off. every time they do this i must start over from scratch. Now I need money to help my family and ukraine and they dont cae

Absolutely most horrific experience. Nothing is more dreadful than receiving your tax refund on a the damn netspend card to activate it and find out the balance is zero. I did my taxes through turbo tax and at the end they offer my tax refund on a netspend card, so I'm like sure, NEVER EVER AGAIN. I went to order parts for my truck for $53 and I WAS DECLINED ON 53 DAMN DOLLARS! So, I called customer service to handle the situation only to be bombarded with ads until the department as if it was on purpose. I'm usually a man of great patience, but this experience pushed my patience to levels never experienced. If my situation is not properly taken of, then my lawyer and I will by sure to rectify this situation in court. This is not a mistake, its a crime and a federal one at that. Bank of America found out with its overdraft fees and Wells Fargo with its amazing account management. I am not issuing an idle threat! This is my tax return to receive from the IRS, I agreed for my return to given to me through netspend NOT TAKEN, which is a breach of trust and should be fraud.

I had my tax return deposited to my NetSpend account, the refund was sent to my account today. But, funds are not available yet. I called the automated line and was told by automated system that there was a pending deposit on my account, but when I talked to two different customer reps, I was told there is no pending deposit, that it must of been a mistake by the automated system, so I asked to speak to a supervisor which was a horrible ordeal in its self. He then proceeded to tell me the same thing the reps had relayed to me. Which is false.. The refund was clearly sent to my account from the government. I have had this account for sometime with direct deposit for my payroll and never had an issue. But, now with my tax refund the issues start. I am not happy with the customer service I was provided nor with the fact that there is so much confusion over my refund. If things do not change, and I continue to have issues I will be taking my business elsewhere. Where's my dam refund...

I filed for my tax refund this year and netspend closed my account and sent it back to the irs. I called to inquire why it was returned and no one coukd give me an answer at all. I had to wait 2 weeks to receive a paper check from the irs. Then today i got a new netspend card and put $50 up there to pay a bill. My card cannot be activated. I call customer service and they transfer me to fraud dept. Fraud has no answer just that my account is closed and my card cannot be activated. This is the worst customer service i have ever seen. So they claim they are going to send me a check, wouldn't even give me the amount of the check and still no answer as to why my account is closed or why i cannot activate my card. So now i will have a late bill if they even send my check.

I think netspend and/greendot is owned by Citibank & another world Bank, ( its on back of card) which is owned by OSAMA BIN LADEN'S family & those banks have shareholders that are OSAMA BIN LADEN'S FAMILY. . . this is probably why netspend gives Americans so many problems-- cuz I think its owned by/ran by the BIN LADEN family.

Avoid Netspend, They are scammers. I now have to wait for my tax refund to be returned to IRS, and then wait again for IRS to send me a check. What a hassle and time consuming. I should of just had it sent to my bank account. Last last last last time to ever use these crooks.

My tax refund was put into the wrong account. I had gotten the account number from netspend to put on my return and then when i checked with the IRS and found my refund had been sent and it wasn't on my card I emailed them to find out what was going on. They gave me an account number to verify that it was sent to the correct account but of course it wasn't, but it was sent to the account that netspend provided me the account number of. I dont understand why they cant move the money from one account to another if it was their mistake, as it apparently was in several different situations atleast.

NetSpend $1500 theft

My name is Elliott George, I am a deep sea diver and i work offshore in Gulf of Mexico, I have a netspend card because when i got hired i had to have a quick way to have checks deposited to an account and this was the quickest option because i was in between banks. On the 17th of June while i was on shift overnight, (from 12 a.m to 12 p.m) my card account was charged 30 times in the amounts of $50.00 each, totaling $1500.00, i have never heard of this vendor before and have no way anyone could have gotten my card information, i called the netspend customer service line the next day and spoke with a script reader who couldnt speak english well, i spoke with a managaer i advised i didnt make charges and this was not a pin purchase nor did i sign my signature to authorize debit and i demanded to stop payment, i will dispute charges. They told me i had to wait for vendor to collect charges then fax in a dispute letter w/dates of transactions, and the dispute department would contact me in 10 buisness days. On June 19th i faxed in letter, waited ten buisness days, it is now July 29th and i have yet to hear from the dispute deptartment, i have searched Galaxia comm. online and they are in South Korea, have an office in Woodside NY, [protected], the phone just beeps buzy and there is no way to contact, i will go against netspend advice and file police report. i need my money back and will not stop until i get it i work very hard 7 days a week 12-18 hrs a day.

WOW! I never expected to see so many ppl with the same problem from this scam freak. $1, 800 and several other smaller transactions later and here I am! They tried to bite off more than they could chew and the bank notified us of the larger sum before they posted it. Now its under investigation...hopefully we'll get all of the other monies back too.

We figured we were just hacked while trying to pay bills online... leading me to believe thats where they got his onfo.

According to his bank statement and some online digging... its a place from Seoul Korea, claiming to have office in NY...

Of course when I tried to call the number all I got ws a perpetual busy signal. Obviously the company info is just a front for what they are really doing. I have since copied all of the online info I have found and also all of your complaints from this forum and have taken it to my local police department. Also when the bank saw the list of similar complaints from other people being stolen from they were shocked. Once they realized this wasn't some individual scam situation that many ppl were involved... their whole outlook changed.

We'll see about that... Best of luck to everyone and if anything informative comes my way I'l be sure to share it here.

I had two 74.34 charges from Galaxia. When I called my bank they told me that another internet company had tried that same day to make a charge of $ 3, 200. I'm trying to figure out how they got that card number. I recently switched cell phone carriers and to me that looks suspiciously close in business to ringtones. I switched from Metro PCS to Sprint. Any of you received this Galaxia charges after leaving Metro PCS or starting with Sprint? I know that it may not have anything to do with it but I'm just curious.

NetSpend allowing unauthorized charges

They are allowing unauthorized charges to my account and over chargeing my card for more than I actually purchased. I have receipts proving what I have spent at a certain place and they have pulled more than what I have spent.

While your bank is not responsible for the merchant's billing practices, they can assist you by helping you open a dispute claim against the merchant. Check your Terms and Conditions to see how the bank requires that you notify them. Usually, they just need you to call Customer Service and identify the erroneous charges, then send in a written statement. The bank will go after your money by filing a claim against the merchant. All financial institutions handle this kind of thing the same way. Don't blame the bank! They can help you against the merchant!

Thats not an unauthorized charge. An unauthorized charge is where you don't have any relationship with the merchant. What you have is a disputed charge. Have you gone back to the merchant to see what the deal is? That's where you should always start.

NetSpend $750.00

I had netspend, i also was getting my payroll checks deposited into this account. I was robbed $750.00 from the account. I had the service where the company send a message to your cell phone. Too bad for me I did not catch the fraudulent charges until my shift was over. I worked 16 hours this day. This company called GALAXIA COMMUNICATIONS CHARGED MY debit CARD $50.00 every 30 minutes starting at the hour of 11.30 am. There were 15 $50.00 purchases from this company.

When I called to report the fraudulent charges. I spoke to a script reader named Josh. No help what so ever. Very impatient, and without the proper knowledge of a company he works for. I had to go online myself to see what procedure I had to file. I was very disappointed that a company could allow those many charges without even putting an alert on or a hold on the card. I am not surprised. It has been my experience that if one is not banking at a reputable company be it mortgage, prime rates, the less than perfect creditor is always taken advantage of. I work so hard for my money. I did not expect my hard earned money to be debited from my account in a matter of 6hours. I was so vexed. I explained to the customer service rep, to look at my spending history. I do not spend $750.00 in one day at the same place in a matter of 6 hours. I will file a police report. I hope I will be able to get my money back. If not, what else is new. Look at how this system handles the lesser class. Look at New Orleans.

I will not use this company anymore. I will open up my account with National city. I owe them $361 I will be visiting them on my next payday.

I hope this never happens to no one ever!

To the person that made the heartless comment about people having less than perfect credit being stupid ###. I only can say to you keep living. You don't never know where your life will lead you. Your opinions are too strong and very inhumane. I am a caregiver and I have to take care of people just like you everyday.
My opinion of others never get in the way of me doing my job. In conclusion, please take care of yourself. What you put out will come back, some day so be careful and repentance is golden.

update, Netspend refunded my money on my debitcard August 29, 2009.

did give me 700 dollars back. I had show proof of all faxes I send. I kept a journal of names, and supervisors I spoke to and the dates. I did not speak to any customer service reps. I went strait to the supervisors and spoke with them. I wrote down every statement that was said to me. I quoted them to the tee. I kept my cool, when I called, although I was upset and angry. I called the dispute department every day until I got results. I gave them every paper the company requested and communicated via email, fax, phone, I got my money!

I am working on getting the 50 bucks, but at least I got the 700.

To any one wanting results, keep a journal of names and dates and times you call. Write down everything, because, if you want results you must also be organized and keep account on everything. Its their business to keep a journal on us. We must keep a journal on them as well. Tw0 can play that game. But we must all stick together and quit being stepped on by the corporate jerks!

NetSpend ripoff

I went to a bank to withdraw money from my account. I declined the transaction because their fee was too high. This bank withdrew my money anyway, even though I received nothing. I disputed this that evening. That was over 3 weeks ago. I called the bank and they had put it back over 2 weeks ago. I have called netspend daily, talked to customer service and supervisors. I have left countless messages to the dispute dept. and still nothing. They said it shows the bank sent it back, but it has not been posted to my account. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE? 2 WEEKS? Do these people have families to feed. I do and I can't because NETSPEND STOLE MY MONEY!GRRR

My debit card was used fraudulently and it drained all of my money. I followed all the steps to insure my money would be given back to me. Long story short 10 days after filing my disputes I called their customer service center, if thats what you want to call it. Anyhow the simple answer was mam we are sorry you lost your dispute. I nearly fainted being that it would be clear to see it was fraud if a blind man was seeing the activity...I am fighting for my money

I have had the same issue as in the last part of April I had 4 unauthorized transactions on my account in Texas I live in Florida. I feel its an internal situation as I had ordered a new card after mine got destroyed in the washing machine. They people I spoke with to order the new card was with customer service. 3 days later my card was hit and all of my information was changed to a Texas adr. I have never lived in Texas at all. I had to do a dispute letter and get a police report. Needless to say I closed all accounts with these people. I will contact the State Atty General of Florida as well as Texas to get my money back. Also contact the FDIC as the cards are issued through MetaBank in Omaha Ne. Also I am contacting the FTC and the BBB in Austin against these people. They need to stopped.

I have been using Netspend since 2006 and have had direct deposit with them for about as long. I have never once gotten a late direct deposit. In fact, the direct deposit is usually credited literally as soon as it arrives and is released from my employer. I have nothing but good experiences with them with the exception of the extra 15% autorized when you rent a car.. But that extra 15% is immediately returned once you complete the transaction with the car rental company.

Sometimes the problem isn't with the card or the corporation itself.

Sometimes it has to do with when your company allows that money to go out.

It varies at different places, and it might be worth a stop by H.R or a call to your corporate headquarters to make sure it's not them.

If it truly isn't them, then at least you can go to netspend and tell them that it is indeed their problem. Your company may even be willing to talk to them on your behalf, since getting paid funds is important to their employees. But start with the company, because everyone's policies are different.

NetSpend I am being charged 10.00 a month and cannot use my card. the balance is very low now and I need a refund of my $50.00 back.

Back in the month of february, I applied for a netspend visa card. I have always had a netspend card since the first time they came out. I put $50.00 on the card, because I knew that someday soon, I would actually need the money. Well, the time is way past, and I need my $50.00 now more than ever. I signed up for the unlimited use program and am currently blocked from using my card. Due to suspected identity theft, my entire name has changed. I sent them information twice concerning my identity, including an old out of state driver's license in the month of february. I contacted them, again in the months of february and this month as well. I no longer drive, so I now have a regular security i. D. That information was faxed this month.
Now, they want old information when I did drive. Look, i'm too damn poor to play these assinine games. I graduated from being homeless last year to having my own apartment. My foodstamps, as of today I no longer get. So, I do need that last $50.00 to eat on and whatever. I refuse to go to the church places that feed the homeless anymore. The environment is not a really cheery-like place. I need my $50.00 now. Please help. Because of their monthly charges, my balance is now $0.00 and have never used the card, yet. Nor have I even been sent my permanent one.

When you opted in to unlimited use, you also opted in to a 9.95 a month fee.

I doubt you will see your fifty dollars back, putting the money in a savings account or hiding it under your pillow would have been smarter.

Also, to the other person, are you sure you read it correctly? it states there will be no monthly charge if credits/debits are made and the account balance is checked. If you can prove you did both, then you should be able to get your refund back. I know the way they phrase it on the website leads you to believe it can be one or the other but I have a sneaky suspicion its both.

Because really, tha'ts how most of these cards work.

I was declined using the NetSpend card in conjunction with my PayPal account for an eBay purchase. I have only had the card since December 2008. The dialog box stated in red that my card had expired, but I had just checked, and the balance was sufficient to cover the charge. The agreement states the service charge is waived if there is current monthly activity, but they are still charging me $5.95 a month to have the card. I have canceled my account and requested a payment for the balance, minus a $5.95 service charge. I will never use their service again.

NetSpend total scam

I received their offer a few days ago in the mail, I was sickened by the legaleze
That I could barely read. They use a type font of 4 which is barely readable. They charge a monthly service of of $9.95, plus there are tons of hidden charges. This company slowly extracts money from you and you don't even know it's happening untill it's to late-if you file a complaint you go through a process from hell, you'll eventually grow tired of waiting and just give up-that's what they expect you to do. This company is one of the biggest fraudsters out there. They prey on consumers with very little credit or that can't open a bank account. Look around people checking accounts are free these days...

Please read all the other posts on this company and "dont" sign up"

It's called read the fine print, angry people always complain, and if you activate the card, sign up, or click a button stating you agree, then you have agreed.

Maybe people should be smart enough to not blame others because they can't read small print or find a magnifying glass if it worries them so much. Also? You choose your fees, when you use the card you are authorizing fees, and in the end? The blame rests solely on you.

Are you even smart enough to realize that by being on this website, you agreed to a million terms and conditions by clicking and posting this comment that you probably even aren't aware of?

Small print sucks but it's everywhere, watch out for those medication commercials . . . lol.

NetSpend unauthorized charged

Monday 2/01/2009 I went to david's check cashing in brooklyn, newyork. I loaded $600.00 on my netspend prepaid visa card. I've been a card holder since 02/2008. I did'nt use the card in a while before that 600.00 load. The next day 02/02/2009 I got a txt message from netspend telling me a 100.00 t-mobile charge was made. I don't have a t-mobile account. I called netspend they said they will look into the matter. Which I assume they will. I spoke to a supervisor name anna who told me to call back on 02/06/2009 she will release the funds back to my account cause t-mobile already collected the monies. Now here it is 02/16/2009 still no 100.00 I called t-mobile who don't know sh** they couldnt even fax over a document to netspend explaining that I dont have a tmobile account I just heard a million sorry and excuse now netspend is telling me they didnt run a investigation because I never fax over a letter (Which they never told me to do) they just told me not to worry and they will get my money. I just want my damn money back. Please dont use netspend they are rip offs and they will not help you.
