    I have been a cardholder for years. My first card expired so I needed to order the new one. Which never came. I ended up having to change my DD with work so I could still get paid. 2 YEARS later I was in contact with someone from customer service. I sent her my new info and the card was mailed. I have received the new card.
    My problem today is that I have $1,312.79 on my ******* ****** **** ****** that I can not activated due to old log in credentials.
    Customer support is not available. No email response. Nothing
    I've even sent in proof of Identity so they could help me.
    But no

    We received an email from Ms. N*** on April 1, 2024, where
    she notified us of issues with accessing her online account to activate her
    card. We called Ms. N*** the same day and advised her that verification documentation
    was required to update her email address and that she could also activate her
    card via phone. We received emails from Ms. N*** from April 4, 2024, through April
    18, 2024, where she asked for assistance with activating her card. We called
    Ms. N*** and left several voicemails and have not received a response. An email
    response was sent every time asking Ms. N*** to contact us. Upon receipt of the
    complaint, we again called Ms. N*** and left a voicemail message. As advised
    previously Ms. N*** can activate her card by calling the number listed on the back
    of her card ending in ****. We need to speak to Ms. N*** regarding a check as
    that would consist of the account being closed. Ms. N*** can reach us at

    Complaint: ********



    I am rejecting this response because you have never called or left me any kind of vmail. Nor have I received any emails from your company. So you have read all my emails and just ignored them. If I was able to activate the card via phone I would have. It is saying my social and zip code do not match. 

    I sent in the proof of Identity so I could get into my account online.

    I'm not sure about a check. The account was closed because the card expired and it took y'all entirely too long to send my new one.

     

    My email is **********************

    Please contact me on there. 

    Your number doesn't help me at all. It's not a real live agent.

    Thank you

    An email was sent to Ms. N*** advising her of the
    documentation still required to update her email address (copy of the email is
    attached). Once the email address is updated, Ms. N*** will be able to access
    her online account where she can activate her card and confirm that the Social

    I received what appears to be a prepaid/debit card in the mail, with information about how to activate it. I never requested this. The company is clearly trying to scam people as this seems to be a common tactic. I never requested this account. I never signed documentation or made a request. Any statement made by the business to the contrary is a lie. This company is using deceptive and misleading business practices. Will be filing a complaint with the *** and FDIC.

    I contacted Card.com on 3/22/24. Shortly after the last purchase was made and I noticed the ongoing transactions. I reached out to the merchant to try to resolve it first and made sure they were aware I had not had an account with them in 2+ years but they were unwilling to find a resolution even though when I contacted them I provided my name and information and it didnt match the information on the account. They only based it off if the card was used around the location of the address associated with the account. I had been using tap to pay because its not uncommon for my kids to move my cards from where I usually put them and sometimes it takes me a minute to find them so that was what I assumed had happened and figured it would turn up. I realized that was apparently not what happened and I must have dropped it somewhere and not realized it when I looked and saw the charges. When I notified my bank of the fraud, I included all of this information. I Have not had any charges from that company on my account in the last 2 years because like I said I have not had an account with them for at least that amount of time and do not have an account with them. And they denied my claim. After the denial I called and requested the documentation used to to determine the outcome and was not provided with it. I have attached a copy of the denial I received. I shouldnt have to worry about whether or not my money is protected in the event that things like this happen.

A letter containing the details of the investigation was sent to ************** as she requested on April 16, 2024.

    Complaint: 21696142

    I am rejecting this response because:
    Firstly, what I have attached is the only documentation I have received from them. Secondly, I have not had an account with that company that the charges are from for over 2 years. The account that my card was used on is not even registered to me. Its not in my name and its not associated with my email. Which I showed them in the emails with the merchant that I sent to them where it showed that. Its not my account. So not really understanding how $1251 charged by a company to an account thats not mine and isnt even registered to me is not an error and fraud. 
    Sincerely,

    Complaint: 21696142

    I am rejecting this response because:

    I have already provided the proof showing that the merchant acknowledged that I had no association with the account but because whoever stole my card played the game around the address that they put into that account, that they couldnt confirm fraud or refund my money. There is also nothing in my account usage that would even suggest that this wasnt fraud. I havent had an account with them for over 2 years and even after seeing the merchant acknowledge I was nit associated with that account, youre still refusing to refund my money. The only resolution moving forward is for my money to be refunded and put back where it belongs. As I have stated Ive already showed all the evidence to support that

    I am rejecting this response because:
    With proof that the account that used my card is not mine and I dont have an open account with the merchant the charges are from, they are still denying fraud. Theres nothing in my account that would indicate that it wasnt. They continue to just repeat the same reply and provide no information to back it up and make no effort at providing a resolution. It seems that a resolution is going to have to be sought in an alternative way. Because this is getting nowhere. I have been trying to resolve this for a month now.
