    On December 21, 2024, we received a request to open the Account.  We verified the ** information that we were provided using a third-party service.  The account was opened with the identification information provided. On December 21, 2024, during a review by CARDs risk team, the Account was closed because we suspected that there was identity theft. Based on the complaint and positive confirmation that Ms. ***** did not apply for the CARD ************ Account issued by Pathward, N.A, we have permanently closed the Account due to identity theft. A closure confirmation email was sent to the email listed on the complaint. Should Ms. ***** require any additional information she can contact us at **************.

    I have attempted numerous times to get into their website and app and chat see anything but white page that tells me nothing but (unknown Pathward card, and won't even tell me my account numbers,) on the app it just shows a picture of my debit card. Again no account information. I call them tried to explain to them I need this account closed. The first gal I spoke with hung up on me. The second one said she would close the account. I went into the app and the website afterwards and the app said the account is still active. I can't have money attempting to go to this account if I can't see anything on the app or website. Especially if I'm trying to track the money. I transferred my last *** to another account because of this issue and tried to find out why they were having this issue. And they couldn't get back to me. Nobody seems to like to answer questions. But have seen many times they will lock people's accounts. I'm trying to close this account. I don't need this happening when my survivor benefits get sent to this account and I can't access it because I can't see the account at all. That's why I called them.

    I received an unsolicited debit card in the mail on 12/05/2024. I did not apply for anything and did not open a card/account with this company. This is fraud and likely identity theft. There is no way to contact this company without providing full social security number, which I will not give in this case. This account needs to be closed immediately and I need to be contacted by someone from the company. I do not recommend anyone to use this company or trust them in any regard.

    In November, I received a debit card in the mail for an account I did not open. I tried calling the support number, but it requests that I enter my full SSN, which I refuse to do. I would like for this fraudulent account to be closed immediately with confirmation that it is not mine and I am not liable for it.
