    On about March 2, 2023 some one fraudulently opened a card.com account using my name and SSN but a different email and zip code. After a frustrating amount of time, I found there's no way to get hold of this company to close the account. I've tried email and their phone line but without the credentials they expect (which are fraudulent) there is no way to speak to some one. Please help me reach this company to get the fraudulent account closed.

    On February 27th I received a text indicating I had an account opened with card.com in my name. I have never used card.com or heard of the platform and certainly have never opened an account. I have called numerous times and emailed numerous times personally, and my representatives at LifeLock have also tried to contact the business to determine whether there was an account opened in my name and if so to close such account. It has been almost two full days and I have yet to receive any response from the company despite it being on notice that a fraudulent account may be open on their platform. I am just looking to contact the company and close the account. Because of the lack of response I have filed a complaint with the *****

    The account was closed on December 22, 2022, based on our rights to close as outlined in the Cardholder Agreement. Due to an agent error a check request was not processed on January 9, 2023, or on January 27, 2023, as ****************** was advised. We identified our error on February 16, 2023, and submitted the check request. We have confirmed that a check was mailed, the delivery timeframe for the check can be up to 21 business days. We apologize for the frustration and inconvenience this matter may have caused. Should you or ***************** require any additional information feel free to contact us at ************.

    My debit card expired and I requested a new one. The card arrived and I have not been able to activate my card due to a system glitch. It has been 7 days. I have been calling, leaving messages for supervisors, and getting no where. I am not able to access my funds to take care of my bills or daily necessities for my children. This issue has placed a huge burden on my family during the most difficult times right now! All I want is to be able to access my money from the institution.

    There are withholding money from me took ****** out my checking account and blamed it on us bank stating it was a arm error. This is all untrue and I talk to a branch manager as well as corporate. Card. *** it making unauthorized charges in my account. They Said I never withdrew ****** out the atm on Jan 19th and I have a receipt otherwise. Jan 19th transaction was posted in the month of February so they said and that doesn't make since.This was the orginal email i sent twice to card.com.(Good morning, my name is ***************************** and iam a police officer for the ***************. Currently iam a member/card holder for card. *** services. The reason for my email is in regards to a ****** charge debited from my account worded as manual refund transaction for bc consumer. When I caller card .*** a phone representative stated it was due to a systematic error from a atm. Phone representative stated us bank notated the account and stated it was a error with a withdraw submission for the amount of ****** and had card.com withdraw ****** out my account. Card.com stated it wasn't disputedable, they wouldn't do anything for me and for me to talk to the bank. I phones us bank first of the incident and then went to a us bank branch. I was in there for 45 minutes with a branch manager. After reviewing my receipts, bank statements and history of the atm us bank made no real error. They stated csrd.com shouldn't of removed funds because even with the error the system still shows it was corrected therefore money shouldn't of been taking out my account. Us bank said the charge is disputedable and that card.com shouldn't of stated that. Us bank said everything was good in there end and that card.com shouldn't of took ****** out my account. Respectfully I'm submitting proof and Respectfully asking for the charge to be reverse on my account.)***************************** ************************************************************************** ************ Last digits of card number are ****.

    Somebody has set up a fraudulent account using (presumably) my social security number with this company. There is no way to contact a live agent at card.com unless you are able to enter a social security number and zip code that match. Since my account was set up fraudulently, when I enter my proper social security number and zip code, the computerized operator just continuously tells me that they dont match. First, how can a company make it a prerequisite that you enter your social security number to speak to someone? Most banks allow you to enter an account number and then an agent may ask your for the last 4 digits of your social to verify your identity. Second, how is it that there is no way to contact customer service unless you have this information? It seems negligent and short sighted (not to mention a dream-come-true for scammers) I have tried two customer service phone numbers ************** and ************** and both do not allow me to speak to anyone because I cant match my social to the fraudulent zip code provided when someone set up this account. I need contact from card.com immediately to remedy this situation, and they should consider a customer service number that doesnt require someones personal information.

    I filed a claim with Yummy Hair Extensions on 1/9/23 due to them sending me an item that was falsely advertised online.The lace frontal hair piece (toupee) they advertised online was very thick, shiny, black and luxurious. When I received the frontal it was brown, extremely thin and dull. It looked extremely cheap and nothing that would be worth $320.00 Due to being scammed by Yummy Hair Extensions I decided to file a claim with Card. Com. After I filed the claim, ********* called me back and stated she would contact her manager to see if they would give me a full refund.Her manager gave her permission to give me a full refund. However, when I spoke to ********* again she stated that a chargeback was filed and my bank took the funds back from them and charged them a $15.00 fee. I have attached evidence of this with this letter She advised me to drop the claim with Card.com so she could issue a refund, in which I did.Several days later I spoke to ********* about receiving my refund and she indicated that my bank took too long to drop the claim and that due to their process with their company accepting the chargeback they could no longer refund my money. I have attached evidence of this with this letter.I have also attached a copy of the last email from Yummy Hair Extensions explaining to me that Card.Com is responsible for returning my money.I have contacted Card.com and spoke to many many **************** Representatives who continuously state that my claim has been closed and that Yummy Extensions needs to provide me with a refund, which is totally incorrect.The fact of the matter is that my money was taken back from Yummy Hair by Card.Com, therefore Card. Com still has my $320.00 and is solely responsible for returning my money back to **** spoke to Supervisor ****** operator # ****** today and he blatantly refused to assist me in resolving this issue and told me the exact same thing that the other **************** Representative stated.That was Yummy Extensions was responsible for giving me my money back. ****** took no time to consider what I was saying or looking into my claim. He refused to take me seriously and was extremely rude.

    ************************ filed a dispute claim on January 9, 2023, for a $320.00 transaction. The dispute was a non-Reg E claim therefore did not qualify for provisional credit. A chargeback was processed and was pending the merchants response. ********************** contacted ** on January 17, 2023, and requested to cancel her claim. The claim was cancelled however, once a chargeback has been keyed, we are unable to cancel or recall it. We have re-reviewed the claim and we have found that the merchant accepted the chargeback on February 6, 2023. We issued credit totaling to $320.00 on February 8, 2023, and mailed a letter. We spoke to ************************ the same day and advised her of the credit. Should you ************************ require any additional information feel free to contact us at **************.
