Green Dot transaction denied

On 3/29/18 I made a purchase with dell and half way into delivery green dot contacted them and said it was not a legitimate transaction and that I was not the account holder. Dell then apparently refunded my money but i've received nothing. I contacted green dot and they insist they don't know what dell is talking about and that I should file a dispute. I have filed 2 now as well as emails to show proof of my transaction and denial of delivery from dell and green dot says my disputes and claims are denied and not "eligible" for recovery of funds. This company is a freud and needs to be sued and shut down.

Green Dot walmart money card

My account was hacked nine days ago. I have filed the dispute forms, I have called, and I have patiently waited for my money to be credited back. It has yet to happen and no one will help me get my own money credited back. I will never use this card again ever!
The date was april 28. Someone in california used my card for a hotel room for 175.00 (which I would never spend on a room!). I need my money now. I need my money now and am furious that I am suffering because a criminal hacked my account. When I called saturday, again, they had no record of my dispute. So I emailed them about ten more copies of the dispute! This is a horrible company.

Green Dot website card activation

Fix your website! We purchased a prepaid card and are currently trying to register it, however, upon trying to enter the card number on the second page of activation (where personal info goes) it will not allow us to enter the numbers. We've been trying for two days. There is now money that I can not access on my card. This is upsetting at best. I will definitely not be purchasing in the future if this does not get resolved. Please rectify!

Green Dot intuit prepaid card

My tax Return was transferred to this card and now I cannot access funds! The number I call says the card is closed and I cannot open another account with this bank. I need access to this money. I've called Intuit and various other numbers and no one can help me. I need a contact number to talk with a human about this situation. How do I gain access to the money that is on the card?

Green Dot blocked card

I sent all verification asked for. Went to social security twice. Took e mail from Green Dot about what was needed. They made verification letter. Still holding our family funds. My nine year old son and my 68 year old husband are disabled. We are about to lose where we live cause no access to our funds. They have what they need which is insane because it never should have blocked at all due to absolutely no unusual activity nor any changes.

I am still waiting for them to update my card. I made a complaint on the 11th. Everything has been sent in since April 6. They still have done nothing but tell me to allow 24 to 48 hours and refuse to resolve this. Social Security is aware of what they are doing and I have since obtained and attorney about this to close that card and have the balance sent back to Social Security so it can be deposited into my new account. I found they are in violation of New Mexico and Federal Laws and the Terms and Conditions is null and void since they did not do as federal guidelines advise them they are to do. So far, we are 160.00 in debt with late charges because of their idiocy.

I had reported my card lost and ended up finding my card, so I asked how to unblock my card with no avail. Been sent to some websites that didnt help cause it was either the wrong page or they didnt know where to send me. And I can not get ahold of any real person. Need to know how to unblock my card, thank u. When I do call the # on tha back of the card it says that my age does not go w/ my card #. Which I think I was sent another card which never got to me so I dnt know or have that #. But was told that I could summit my id & I could unblock my card. That hadn't happen. Thank u

Green Dot secured credit card

On March 30th green dot bank allowed a a charge of $3719.32 to go through on a secured card that had a limit of $1400 (my money) and an available balance of $200 at that time. I contacted them and they said that a rental car agency can force through a charge over limit. Complete bogus. I knew my charge was actually $379.32 & this seemed like a computer glitch. The fraud dept told me my only choice was to dispute charge & get new credit card (which I had to pay $30 to get). I wait for my card in mail & call again a few days later & was told that I cannot get my card or use my account until investigation is over. So their motto technically against the FDIC laws by not returning funds to you or allowing you to even use your card until they complete investigation. So I have money sitting somewhere. And they closed that card won't give me my new one (which I paid for). I faxed all documentation needed to verify this was a computer glitch by rental company. They now won't even allow funds to be paid to previous pending charges that week. $700 which is mine to be paid is now on hold. These practices are illegal. I want my new card & my available funds of $700 released. This isn't okay!

There is no customer service. I need help, I put my last $20 on this card

Green Dot services provided and customer service

Information, detailed, all I can say is that if I had the time to literally pursue some type of class action against them, I would. If I could afford to hire a lawyer, I would.
Yet I am just a single parent with two kids who works monday through friday and tries to make a decent living.
Yet this green dot, keeps my money so to gain in their own investments by holding mine and who knows how many more peoples funds as to gain interest, for themselves. How can anyone not see this. How else have they gained all these billions as they say, by simply ripping people off and holding their hard earned money to gain a profit for themselves.
They come up with theses, win this and win that, how many persons that you actually know have ever won, though they might show you a picture of some one, probably just one of their own employees though the persons on the other line are not even from our own country. Speak some foreign language they themselves cant understand.
As far as their customer service, well they have none
Stop holding monies that dont belong to you, its been 11 days and still pending?
Yeah, tell me thats the right thing to do

This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

They told me to upload a copy of my driver's license to verify my Identity. idvgreendotcorp.com does not seem to work. Google says the domain does not exist or has been moved. GreenDotDocument upload site says the same thing. It's pathetic that my account has been blocked, just for changing my address a couple times. Things didn't work out, I had to move...

Green Dot won't unblock my account

I got my account blocked last week due to "unusual activity" even though I have been using it almost everyday week. I sent it the documents they wanted and they claimed to me on two different days that my account would be updated and nothing has happened. I spoke to a supervisor on 3/14/2018 and she claimed it would be done within the day. Nothing is being done and that has my daughters social security money and all of my money on it. I jst want my money back already
