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!

Green dot won't return my money
My PUA benefits were direct deposited into a wrong account. I've tried for 2 months straight, to get them to return my benefits to PUA so that PUA can cut me a check. PUA is aware of the situation and has been waiting for 4 weeks to hear from Green Dot. It is a large sum of money which was a lump sum of my benefits because I had waited so long. Now my family suffers even more because of this refusal to return my benefits. Green Dot should not have accepted it in the first place, but in any event, this added delay for no reason at all is jeopardizing my family's health and well being. Please return these funds to PUA as it is not supposed to be allowed into that cardholders account.

Loading my paypal cash card
I went to be to load my PayPal card and the cashier grabbed 1 of the 2 yards that I had on the counter and started loading my 60.00 dollars. After talking a little more I realized he grabbed my closed PayPal credit card instead of the correct cashcard. When I asked him to correct it he said that he could not cancel and I would have to talk to customer service. Well it has been almost 4 months and after hours on the phone trying to get this resolved I have gotten no solid idea as to when or if I will ever get my refund. Most unprofessional people I ever dealt with

SAME HERE BUD! I've contacted the IRS and was told they bwould be sending a paper check once it gets kicked back from greendot. TRy contacting the fraud hot line and tell them there holding your money with not account in your name!
Steals money
Around 11 am I purchased 2 green dot moneypak cards for a total amount of $380. I spend around 3 hours trying to get into the account just to add the money to the account. Once I got into the account the cards were no longer valid! So I contacted customer service about it and uploaded pictures of screenshots and receipts. After no hep there I filed a fraud claim against the company itself. I received an email hours later saying that they completed the investigation and there were no money to be recovered!?!?! These crooks stole $380 dollars from me! I am a disabled vet! please stay away from this company!
Visa debit
Card will not registered, for hundredth time and countless hours.

or something like that. I should have it memorized by now.
Purchased card Nov 18 2020 at Walmart in Jonesboro Arkansas, Highland ave store.
Walmart and Visa both refuse by to even acknowledge any culpability in this highway robbery. this is making me sick. I could have used that money when I'm sleeping under the bridge tonight

I have done everything that was asked of me and still nothing. Can y'all please unblock my card are hell call [protected]. I am being patient i'm am doing my best not to take further actin but if I have to I will. Please resolve this. Cheryl dawn newland. Y'all wont even mail me a card to my address cause its a po box.
Visa card
I bought Green Dot Visa to send to daughter, expecting to add to it later. I cannot find info anywhere about how to do that. I assume I can register in
name and mail the card to her. Calling the Green Dot phone number is useless, dealing only with registered cards, and my question is who do I register it to? Perhaps I can register it to her, then use PayPal to add funds to it. It would be great if they had a human to talk to. I do not know what to do!
Reloadable prepaid visa
I just purchased, and I cannot even read my card. The ink was smeared and I have no way of getting it refunded! I called the number yet I was unable to speak with an actual person. The Walgreens I purchased this at also refused to refund my money. So I had to pay for something I was not even able to determine was going to work beforehand😑
They basically stole my money
Hey what’s up, I can be of help if you don’t mind
Holding my money and they say my id that I sent is fake! It's not!
I have a Green Dot card through Turbo and I've been having my unemployment payments sent there with no issues. Last week I received a larger then normal amount of payment from unemployment for back pay so it was deposited on a non-normal day and for a non-normal amount. They then placed a hold on my funds. I was told that I need to send in a copy of the front and back of my DL. I tried about 50 times to upload it on the website but it kept saying that it wasn't clear enough. I was then given an email address and case number to send my ID to. I did that and then was told they had the emails (8 of them) and that my funds would be released in 2 business days. Today I call to check the status and talked to 5 different people each giving me totally different information. I finally get through to a manager at the corp office in CA who tells me that they feel my DL images that I emailed are fake and that they wont release my funds until they get an ID they are happy with. END of story on their part. They won't do anything to help me. This is the only money that I have. My house payment was due 3 days ago so now I have a $50 late fee, my daughter needs diapers and I need food in the house. They don't care about that. Won't accept any other form of ID and won't release my funds. Please someone help me! I can't stop crying. I don't know what to do.
Case number [protected]. Deposit that caused this was deposited on 10/1/2020 and the hold was placed on 10/2/2020. They say the issue is that the deposit came in as "A.L. Turner" and not the normal "Angel L. Turner"
I'm not sure what photos/videos that I can attach as this has all be through phone conversations.
My greendot account
Don't use Greendot bank. My card number was used to buy games or movies or something through amazon. 659. dollars was stolen. I was credited 159 dollars and green dot says that the dispute for 110 is not being GRANTED. The thief was Cash ap. under multiple names. Do NOT use Green dot at all! I have the printed pages of the original theft, and I mailed that to Green dot and never got my money back (received partial funds). This is unacceptable.
Prepaid visa card
I'm unable to reach customer service by phone. No phone number works to reach a live person. I tried calling the phone number on the back of the card. Also looked up online their customer service number. But can't reach a live person. Does anybody have a phone number for me? I purchased a prepaid card and I'm having trouble with it.
Money pak
Hello again, so far I have sent you the information you requested with pictures on July 3rd, July 28th and again on August 26, September 8 and now again on September 29. You keep saying you are unable to read the information, so I will spell it out for you together with pictures.
The green dot card was purchased on June 17th at the CVS Pharmacy on 3055 Broad River Road, Columbia, South Carolina 29210 as can be seen on the receipt. It shows the card was activated but never cashed in the amount of 300.00.
It specifically shows that I purchased the card for $306.95 and it was never cashed. I am requesting that you provide me #300.00 as your card was used to perpetuate a fraud and I am now out $300.00. Due to COVID I am struggling and it is the right thing to do.
I have sent them as attachments, I have scanned them in and they are large enough to read. I would appreciate it if you would send me a check in the amount of $300.00.
I am not submitting the receipt but have a copy as I do not want to put it on this board.
Green dot unlimited card is locked n account is blocked for no reason would like my account in frozen plz
Ur verification webpage doesn't load at all so there is proof unblock n unlock my living money
