I had purchased a prepaid debit visa card and I activated it through the phone April or may 2020 so my 1st stimulus check could be direct deposited but figured I wouldnt bother touching it until a die need.and now its January 6th 2021 and the 2nd stimulus went to same card. And I need the money now.but when I went to register it online, it's coming up that my card is invalid. I have also tried to use the automative system with your customer service number and it won't connect me through. I have tried numerous times to speak to a representitive but have no been able to. I really need to use this money for a bill that is now late and I need this taken care of. If someone can please contact me as soon as possible. If not I'm going to call bbb an file a complaint I will go as far as I have to to get my money this is ridiculous

Desired outcome: To figure out what happened to my card and give me my money

Green Dot Customer service

I activated a gift card to an unlimited visa debit card in September. Due to unforeseen circumstances, conditions, events. COVID-19! I have been sick. Buried love ones and now have been nursing love ones sick with the coronavirus.
I was unable to use this card. I understand monthly there is a fee but I feel this company should be more understanding. Also I have tried to speak to a representative on several occasions and the waiting time was so long I had to hand up or my call was disconnected. They ask you for your number to verify but don't call you back if you get disconnected. Sad way to treat people you charge a monthly fee to while using your services. On this day 1/2/21 again I attempted to close my account and waited over 1.5 hours twice to speak to someone to not have my issue solved.
Ridiculous!
The first time I called I asked to pay the negative fee and was told I didn't have to pay the remaining balance and she was working on closing my account. Please hold for up to 10 minutes longer while I take care of this then the phone gets disconnected. I call back and hold the line for another 1.5 hours to be told by the same person that she cannot close the account and I would have to settle the negative fee and then call back.
I ultimately wouldn't like to close this account and no longer be charged.

Desired outcome: I would like to have this account closed and take a loss on a gift card that was given to me for my birthday in August.

Green Dot Prepaid visa

My wife purchased a greendot prepaid card for my daughter not aware of the 18+ rules. I have talked with, emailed with and chatted with them and I was told to email reciept, card front and back both sides and identification to verifymydocs. I have not heard anything back from them and now I cannot even get them to reply to me on any of those procedures or through their social media. I want my money back and I want all the interest it earned in their back account instead of my account. They are not only stealing my money but the interest I could have earned by being in my account!

Green Dot green dot fraudulantly closed my card account leaving me no access to my balance of $500

ON Dec. 31, 2020 I received my $600 stimulus check on my green dot card. This card has never been used and I figured it would be safe to use. I checked my card and the stimulus payment was deposited into this account. I went to access my card and it gave me a message that said "account blocked do to suspicious activity. Please upload a copy of your current state id or drivers license, in order to verify your identity." So I did just as they asked and uploaded, my state id. They said they had successfully uploaded documet and it had been received. Within minutes of this message my account was suddenly closded granting me no access to stimuilus. How is that even legal or morally ethical. My id is under Allison Spencer but the card is in my married name Allison Davey. I need this resolved or I will hire an attorney and bring up charges

Desired outcome: I want my account opened so that I can get my money out and thejn i will throw the card away

This was the same thing happened to me after my benefit was deposited from Colorado Unemployment PUA back benefits. I believe we are being targeted and a class action suit should be in order.

Green Dot Card Activation

My husband purchased this card as gift card, not knowing what it was. I did not want to register it and give them my social security number plus pay their fees, so I tried putting it in my grandsons name, since they cannot ask for one from someone under 18 (I found this online as a workaround). I was allowed to register it, then was told the card would be invalid and could not be changed. I contacted customer service and was told that once registered, it could not be changed. Basically they can just keep the money. I was given a number to call, but of course, it was having technical difficulties and high volume, so try again another time. This cannot be legal!
