Green Dot Customer service

Apparently I signed up for the Green Dot card when I filed my taxes. Although I don't remember doing so - that's what the IRS claimed in the letter they sent me. The letter states my refund was deposited into an account with Green Dot in February 2023. I can not get a hold of a live person to discuss this issue. I never received a card from Green Dot that had my tax refund on it.

Claimed loss: $171

Desired outcome: I would like to actually receive my tax refund that I should have received a year ago.

Dear Green Dot Corporation, I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the services provided by Green Dot Corporation. I recently purchased a Green Dot card, loaded it with $20 on 10/25/2023, and received a direct deposit on 10/27/2023. However, when I attempted to make a purchase on Saturday, October 28, 2023, I was unable to do so as my card...

Green Dot Payment not received.

I am very upset. I have been told so many times that your check will be here tomorrow. I have never got my refund issued check. This is for case #[protected]. I finally asked to talk to a supervisor right now and then the supervisor Rhen gets on the phone and said mam you will have to wait 3weeks after the 3rd. I said we are going on almost 5weeks and this is not fair. I even opened up a new card and put minimal amount of money on it to make it easier just in case. I have verified my address over and over. This is not right. I will turn this into the Federal Reserve Board if something does not happen. Not fair that I keep going told information that is incorrect and then when I let them know it has been almost 5 weeks since the 3rd they said Oh. That is not a correct response.

Claimed loss: $808.00

Desired outcome: I need a refund check rushed to me. I can not keep waiting.

They said an account was opened in my name w/ Green Dot bank and they provided an account number. I tried multiple x to reach them. They never allowed me to reach a rep over 3 years.

Green Dot My prepaid card

I was receiving my SSI payments on my card for more than 5 years. The past three month someone has accessed my account and EFT transferred various amounts out of my account. The total came to 1,640 dollars. I have turned in a dispute. I received an email yesterday 10-13-23 that they have granted a provincial credit of the above amount and I had full access to the funds. When I called today to ask why my card was not working, They told me that the company decided to close the account due to my profile. I would like to have the funds returned to me before I take further action.

Desired outcome: Would like my funds

Green Dot Customer Service

I have been trying to report fraud in my acct for days now. Green Dot contacted my on Monday 25th of Sept 2023 that someone was using my identity in order to purchase products from Burlington Coat Factory. I told them my card was on me and I was at home. The sent me verification code and the operator said she would handle it and my account was good to go. 2 days later I find out my account was closed I have a zero balance and no one can help me. Customer Service just hung up and now no one is picking up.
