Documentation was received and reviewed on November 21, 2022, and POA was still required. An email response was sent to ****************** that same day. We received an email from ****************** and contacted her on March 20, 2023, and a replacement card was processed as proof of address was no longer required.

    I was hospitalized from 01/12/2023 to 03/04/2023 for surgery and someone stole my debit card and took my money off of the card I disputed these transactions even sent in proof of me being hospitalized not being able to do these transactions and they denied it stating the pin number was "rememberized!" Of course if someone use a pin number and money comes out that person would remember that number they used to get more money off. That is not something to deny a dispute medical records was sent in showing what the reason for me being hospitalized for them dates, they did not investigate the issue they only denied my dispute stating no errors were found, closed my account and kept the money that is still in my account basically it's showing this company is the ones who took my money since that's all they are doing now. I want an thorough investigation done and a refund what is the point of disputing something that you didn't do if nothing will come back off of it I did all I was to do and this company did nothing I can upload my hospital documents that were sent in on the next message or later on

    I am rejecting this response because:
    They didn't even investigate the situation I've asked for the documents used in determining this denial and they have yet to send me this information I've also had money left on the card and they took that money as well not giving me nothing so yes I asked to tee open this case this will only be resolved if I get my money back

    Again as stated before I've sent in paperwork to prove I was in the hospital when my card was compromised / stolen and my money was gone they refused to provide me with the information they used in determining my denial as I asked for per law so I can proceed to the next step. And they still haven't Givin me my money that was still on my card making me believe they had something to do with the whole thing so I don't agree with they response I request my money back

    I received a debit card in the mail from Card.com that I did not request on 3/10/2023 I am not sure who opened this account but it is not me. It is impossible to get any live person on the line without entering a social security number, zip code, and date of birth. I do not think it is safe to provide this information since this has fraud written all over it. Horrible that you cannot get a live person on the line. Stop praying on people.Account Number on the card: ******************* with me Name: *********************************** I do not want to provide any further information to you guys so that you can use for more scams.I need this account closed immediately and I want a letter of verification that it was. I will be moving forward with legal if I am not provided with this.Thank you

    A fraudulent account has been opened with this company using my address. I know this because I received a physical debit card in the mail at my address under my name. I'm concerned that someone has used my social security number and other personal details to open an account. Either this company is not properly verifying information or they are opening accounts on their own without consumers permission in order to lure victims into using their credit card. When I try to call the customer service phone numbers, they require me to enter my full social security number before I can even speak to anyone or receive information about the account. This seems like a phishing operation as well. Needless to say, I do not feel secure providing an erroneous company with my full SSC number. I have tried calling both ************ and ************ and also sent an email to ******************* requesting that the account be closed.

    On march 2, 2023 my card was withdrawn for an amount total ****** I disputed this transaction as soon as my knowledge of it and I also had a new card replacement ordered. I was told I would need to send over my id and social which I did upon asking. They closed my case saying my transaction was found no error due to no failed pin attempt but I even went back to store where my card was used and I am on camera never using the atm only buying gas at cash register even the police said that is weird how was it even possible when they watch me on camera not use that exact atm at all I contacted card.com once again to try at least charge back my funds they continued with there story saying there was no error found and my case was closed. Then on march 6, 2023 my card was used twice again for a balance inquiry but how is that possible if I order a new card and I still havent received it at that time to use it. So I called card.com back once again to dispute another fraudulent transaction once again I was given small talk that didnt make sense I get paid by direct deposit from my job on that card and I feel as if they are truly scamming people for their hard earn money I truly advise everyone stay away from card.com hopefully my new card will still arrive with my funds I do have left on there so I can withdraw them no hard feelings just rather stick to major banks now!!

    I received a debit card and new account information in the mail from card.com by Pathward, but I did not sign up for this. I attempted to call their customer support phone number, but they require a social security number and zip code to verify identity. I cannot provide matching information in their records because I'm not the one who created this account. There is no other way to contact this business to resolve this fraudulently established account in my identity.

    In December 2022 my debit card was missin/stolen and I report this to card.com that not only card.com was unauthorized usage that others as well which is irrelevant to this but there was several transactions on the 19th of Dec atm that were unauthorized and they keep telling me they can not dispute those line items. I have talked to my other card holder who also had unauthorized charges and were handled according and they informed me that card.com has to make a dispute but I am still getting no where with them. They charged back all other amounts even an atm but refuse to do anything about the 19th and can give me no explanation

    A fraudulent account has been opened with this company using my address. I only know this because I received a physical debit card in the mail at my address using someone else's name. I'm concerned that someone is using my social security number and other personal details in order to open accounts that this company is not properly verifying. More importantly, when I try to call their customer service phone numbers, they require me to enter my full 16-digit social security number before I can even speak to anyone or get information about the account. This is extremely poor practice for any company, and I don't feel secure providing them with my full number.
