Ebay Refund
I purchased something from ebay back on 29th-30th on October. I canceled the item due to misleading information and ebay issued the refund on October 31st for $28.44. Netspend keeps saying I received the refund but I did not as I have statements to prove there was no refund in the amount of $28.44. Netspend is trying to steal from me and I need something done about this. I sent screenshot of my statement to show there was no refund on the 31st.
Desired outcome: I would like my $28.44. Thanks

On August 30 I filed a dispute due to fraud of my card being mailed to a different address. The customer service representative miss calculated my dispute only disputing a few purchases she also rushed me off the phone and sent me an email with the reference number but the amount was not correct. I then called To correct the dispute and once again the amount was incorrect Netspend then closed dispute so I sent over police report and now I was told they didn’t see any issues. $16,653 was stolen off my card and I have police report to prove it.
Desired outcome: Return my funds

skylightpaycard.com
We called Skylightpaycard.com to get a refund of money that was sent there via the employer and spoke to agent "Jojo". He took the information to close the account and assured us a check would be sent within 2 weeks or less. That call was made on the 21st of October 2022 at 4:30 Pm CST.
Today is November 10th 2022 and no nothing has arrived in way of a check. Called Skylightpaycard.com to ask where is the check. "Ann" said she knew nothing about it and gave us the run around. We will be calling back until we are sure the check is sent out. For such a large company, the customer service is deceptive and arrogant. Better care of potential customers is severely lacking. We need an immediate solution.

Visa card
10/28/22, 11/1/22,11/2/22 - netspend is the worse! Do not buy one of these cards! I assist homeless individuals.

He put $300 on a visa netspend card — thinking it would be "that easy" — they took hi...

Reloadable ccard
Tried to activate a reloadable card and was not successsful. My grandaughter purchased a 100 card and was not able to activate without proper indentification. i called customer service and for help and no help other than saying you must open an account to activate your card. I told them i just want the card activated to use for that one time and i still got a run around saying you need to give personal information just to activate the card. This is total nonsense and they call this a global company who cannot solve a simple problem and just activate the card up to the amount thats on the card. Best of yet they cut my phone number off.
Desired outcome: I woukld like this problem resolve.

Pre paid card with two month delay on refund
Hi, I was a customer of NetSpend prepaid debit cards. Unfortunately they were unable to identify my who I was and due to me submitting documentations that would have been sufficient but somebody just didn't want to do their job. Therefore I waited 3 weeks while they said that there was going to be a refund within 10 business days there was not the the worker did not do their job. I lost my house. My kid and I who is six got put out on the streets with nothing else but the clothes on our backs. I don't understand how a company as big as this one would feel justified that they're doing good enough job when they're putting people out on the streets when it was my money that was loaded and where they couldn't verify who I was. It was not a goddamn business because I was just trying to pull the money off of the cards. Therefore when I tried to resolve the issue nobody called me back. I hung up on every time that I called in. I got put on hold for 3 and 1/2 hours. While then the manager hung up on me. The floor supervisor at this call center barely spoken in English. I could not understand them. Therefore, they were redundantly uneducated in the way of their business. Therefore, when I ask to speak to their superior, I got hung up on. So I wrote a email to the CEO of NetSpend or the president of NetSpend company and then I had a lady call me from the corporate office who has not returned my phone call and five business days when I was supposed to receive five separate checks for them closing out. My NetSpend accounts I have only received one. The job is not done nobody's returning my phone call. I'm out $1,100. It was supposed to be 24 to begin with. So you tell me where the other money went? I am dissatisfied and I'm going to the f****** media with this I'm going to let them know that this company lets little kids and single mothers go live on the streets because they wouldn't release my money. I would not recommend this company nor would I ask for anything to do with this company. I'm going to sue them
Desired outcome: All I wanted was my money which was $2,400

Can not access my money nor activate my card
I purchased a $500. Netspend in Texas in March 2020, in Texas when Covid hit, as emergency funds for my return trip to Canada. I did not need to use the card. Today I tried to activate the card and was unable to do so. I called the number provided and was told I needed to send a copy of my Social Security card and a recent invoice for my home. I also tried to change my address to my Canadian home. The clerk was unable to input that in to their system.
I told them I did not feel comfortable sending that info, especially with all the complaints listed against their company. I asked for a supervisor and waited 32 minutes before I hung up in digust.
When I called back and went through all the same BS, I asked to close the account and send me a check for the balance of $500.00. They would only send the check to the old address in Texas where I have not been in 31 months.
They would not even record my Canadian address. Having read the 672 complaints filed against this company, I feel I have been scammed out of my money.
I strongly suggest everyone avoid these thieves - Just read the complaints at
https://www.complaintsboard.com/netspend-the-companies-practices-and-hidden-charges.
Note...I am out $500.00
Desired outcome: Refund my $500. to my Canadian address.

Visa Prepaid Card
I bought this card for my nephew to use it at the airport on October 11, 2022 at 12:03. He called to have it activated, they kept him on the phone for about 2 hours and the card was not activated. He left the country.
I made a claim to them with the proof of purchase, the DL Id. I spent one hour and half bouncing from one
Now they want me to send them my Social Security Card, utility receipts, etc.
In essence, they won't give me my money back.
This is just a scam, and what is sad is that Walmart is endorsing the sale of this card.
Desired outcome: I want my money back

Visa debit card ending in 2995
Initial phone call to Netspend to [protected] on 10/08/22 California time 1:09 pm afternoon. I Loretta M. Wilkinson Jenkins was checking my card balance and found out that a block was put on my gray debit card, called back to find out why on 10/10/2022 at 11:02 am, a female rep stated because it appeared that some tried to purchase a $150.00 item at Amazon. Loretta's response was that I had not ordered any such item or items and that it was not me, then I asked the female rep to take the block off, and she stated that she did, then some few hours later at a nearby Safeway store, I tried to get cash back and the purchase was denied. I need the block removed and stop putting a block on my account, to try and keep my funding. It's a scam Netspend employees are doing to keep customers money and right not I'm due a total of $350.00 there was another situation where I tried to send money to Captial on via the phone, back in December of 2021 the transaction amount was $150.00 send a copy of Capital One's statement and nothing was resolved, it was treated as though nothing ever happened.
Amazon does not have any card on file with the number ending in 2995 referencing me, Loretta M. Wilkinson.
Desired outcome: the Return of my two bad situations of finance, the most recent being that of $160.00 on the card Netspend ending in 2995 as of 10/10/2022 P.M. And also, my $150.00 of December 2021

Debit card
On or about 09/14/2022 $250 was direct deposited from my payroll account to a netspend account using debit card **********28861 and **********7290. On or about 09/21/2022 Amazon Prime attempted to deduct $149.06 from debit card ******28861 for an annual renewal. Netspend declined the transaction and issued an alert via text message. I did not recognize the charge and the card was suspended. After brief investigation I realized my mistake and used ******7290 (same netspend account) to authorize the transaction which was approved and the funds were deducted leaving approximately $150 remaining in the account. I attempted to access the netspend account but was refused access with a message to contact customer support. I contacted customer support and was instructed to email or fax images of my social security card and drivers license before access to the account would be granted. I refused since I believe this information is extremely sensitive and the means for data transfer netspend was requiring is not secure. I told netspend to close my account and refund the remaining funds to the address on record. I was told this would occur. As of today 9/09/2022 I have not received the funds and contacted netspend to inquire regarding status of the refund. I was informed that no refund would be issued until I submitted sensitive personal information via an insecure method. I believe this request from netspend is unreasonable, they can simply return the funds to the address of record from which the account was opened but are refusing to do so. Netspend has unlawfully converted my funds refusing me access to my money. I have demanded a refund and they have refused to do so. I believe this may be a scam or ploy to gain funds from unsuspecting consumers since netspend knows this is a small amount making legal action by victims unlikely.
Desired outcome: Refund remaining funds (approximately $150)

Debit card
This is my second Complaint. I've been trying to get my account unlocked for 2 months. I refuse to send personal information over the Internet. I should not have to do that anyway. I received a notice by Mail stating that new changes would be applied to all members Cards. That I should log in and choose if I wanted to continue being a member and accept the new terms. I sent then a letter back stating that if they unlock my account (which I was in good standing) that I would make that determination I included enough personal information for them to unlock my account THIS HAS BEEN TWO AND GOING ON THREE WEEKS. No letter, no call or anything. Is this a way to keep Card holders money and make money of of them. I would appreciate comments from folk going through the same thing. They will try and direct you to a site to log in and give personal information. I sent a certified letter to the "Unit" by Mail (with info) and still have not heard from them. No wonder people are going off now days with this kind of B.S.
same old crap Worst mistake I ever made was getting this card I Work Hard for my money !
Bottom feeders account locked
These people are so bad I really had no idea this was going on until I got locked out of my account with NetSpend

Desired outcome: Give me my dame money because I am going to nail up your [censored] to the wall

Netspend will not activate my card.They told me I am not allowed a card.
I received my Netspend card, but when I tried to activate, I was told to call. When I called to speak to a representative, I was told I am not allowed to have a card. Why would Netspend approve and send a card and then tell me I am not allowed to have one? I ask the representative why I am not allowed to have a card or have the card activated, he could not answer.
