    I've only been with card.com since November 2024 & all of a sudden my account is restricted. No email stating as to why or anything notifying me that it was even being restricted. When I call customer service it's just a automated system so you can't talk to anyone. And what makes matters even worse I'm expecting a refund on this card.

    I received a debit card from card.com that I never applied for. I tried several times to contact them letting them know this is fraud but I cannot get through to a live person to speak to and they were unresponsive to email. My identity was stolen and my credit has been frozen for a year, but somehow someone else was able to fraudulently open an account with my stolen information. This is a fraudulent account and I would like written confirmation the account closed ASAP. I can provide the account # if they will contact me directly at ************

    I received a **** debit card for an account that I did not open or request. Account was opened fraudulently and I am unable to contact the company to resolve. When calling the company, you are prompted to enter your full 9 digit SSN, which for obvious reasons, I am unwilling to type into a random phone menu. I need this account flagged, closed, as well as information on how the account was opened for investigation purposes.

    We spoke to Mr. ****** on January 27, 2025, and advised that the $139.59 transaction was a pre-authorization hold, and that the transaction would expire after 30 days if the merchant did not collect the funds. Mr. ****** does have the option to request the merchant submit a Merchant Hold Release letter if he does not want to wait for the transactions to expire. We sent an email to Mr. ****** with the details required in the letter for the pre-authorization hold to be released.

    I had over 8K worth of unauthorized charges on my card.com bank account that took place from December 6 to December 9 of last year. I received an email from card.com on December 10 alerting me to unusual activity on my account at which point I logged into my account and discovered the charges. I called card.com support at this time to file a dispute for the charges and provided the requested dispute form. Later when following up to check the status of this dispute I was told that the dispute was closed with no error found and that I would need to resolve the issue with the merchants. Even though I did attempt to resolve the issue with the 1 merchant I was familiar with and was told to contact my bank to dispute the charges - and I am unfamiliar with all the other merchants and some of them don't even appear to be real companies with accessible contact info from looking into them. I was told I was mailed a letter with a detailed explanation for the decision. However this was about a month ago and I never received any letter. I want to be refunded for these unauthorized charges but would also like to receive this detailed explanation letter for how this decision was made so I can figure out how to proceed if the company will not assist me with this issue. Again, as of now I have received no explanation for this decision. If this business continues to provide no explanation for this decision and no assistance with this issue I will be forced to enter arbitration.

    Mr. ******* filed a dispute claim on December 10, 2024,totaling $8440.88. Provisional credit if eligible was due on December 24, 2024.The claim was denied on December 18, 2024, as no error was found. Upon receipt of the complaint, we reviewed the claim and stand by the denial. We reviewed the account history and confirmed that there was no request for a letter containing the details of the denial. A request was submitted and the letter containing the denial details will be mailed. Should Mr. ******* require any additional information she can contact us at **************.

    Complaint: 22821677

    I am rejecting this response because: This comment is different than what I was originally told when interacting with customer support - where I was told that an explanation letter had already been mailed, I was never told I would need to request it. At this time I still have not received the letter and would like to keep this complaint open until I receive it so I can follow up on what the letter says if possible. I also need to add an important piece of information. I was able to get in contact with 2 of the merchants where these charges originated, one on Friday January 24 and the other today January 27 and they both confirmed that they received a chargeback request for the charges that were made to my account and would be returning those funds. I am going to try to contact the other merchants for information about these transactions to see if they say something similar. Because of this confirmation that at least 2 of the transactions if not more are being returned I am especially interested in the explanation for why card.com believes I should not receive these funds back. I will follow up as soon as I receive the letter that card.com said was being mailed. 

    Sincerely,

    ***** *******

    Business Response

    Date: 02/05/2025

    We completed the investigation; we found that the facts didnt warrant an error. The chargebacks were already in process, merchants have 45 days to respond. We have received some denials to our chargebacks. If the chargebacks that are still outstanding expire and the merchant does not respond,we will issue credit to the account. We have requested another letter listing the details of the denial to be mailed out again. Should Mr. ******* require any additional information he can contact us at **************.

    I am rejecting this response because: I still have not received any communications by mail regarding the specifics of the decision that was made. And from my understanding I am entitled to a detailed explanation as well as the documents that were used to make the decision - which specific transactions were denied and why. I will update if I ever receive this information.
