    August 26th, I was charged a 5% fee for their cash a check feature through ******. Several identical checks were deposited before and after August 26th were charged at only a 1% fee. I have contacted them 4 times on this matter requesting a refund for the overcharge. The first two times the representative apologized for the inconvenience and assured me Id be refunded within 2-3 business days, they did not refund me. Third time, I was told the matter was being escalated. Fourth time I was told the fee assessed was correct. Theyve failed to resolve the matter and will continue to rip people off

    all of this occured on 9/5/24.I take a picture of my check front and back and submit it to the app. the app tells me it was approved and to now upload a photo of the check with void written in bold black ink I did so and then got a notification that my request failed and to contact customer service. I call customer service and they do not pick up at all. I feel scammed and i need that money urgently.

    I used Ingo check cashing service. They sent me a email saying funds were confirmed and all I had to do was write void on the check and upload a picture of the voided check. I did this and then they denied the transaction and claimed it was a photocopy but it was not. Some issues with their response is how can you verify the funds and verify the check with the first picture but then claim the next picture is a photocopy. The problem is now that I followed their instructions and wrote void. Now I have a worthless check and will have to wait over a month to get a reissued one. When I'm poor and really need the funds bow. This is 100% their flawed system that caused this. I offered all the proof to show its a check.

    I am writing to formally file a complaint against **** for its unacceptable handling of my check cashing needs, which has resulted in severe financial and personal inconvenience. My experience with INGO has been nothing short of frustrating and problematic, and I believe it is essential to bring these issues to your attention.Details of Complaint:Refusal to ************** Deposits: INGO has unreasonably refused to process my mobile deposits, despite my repeated attempts to use their services. This refusal has left me without access to essential funds needed for daily expenses and obligations.Lack of Communication and Support: Whenever I have reached out to INGO for assistance, I have encountered a significant lack of communication and support. My inquiries have gone unanswered, and I have been unable to receive a clear explanation for the refusal of ****************** Hardship: Due to INGOs inability to process my deposits, I have faced severe financial hardship. This situation has caused undue stress and has significantly impacted my ability to manage basic financial responsibilities.Failure to Resolve Issues: Despite numerous attempts to resolve the issues with INGO, including contacting customer support and following their procedures, the problems remain unresolved. ***** lack of action and resolution is unacceptable and has exacerbated my financial difficulties.Given the severity of these issues, I urge the BBB to investigate INGOs practices and hold them accountable for their failures in providing reliable check cashing services. I request prompt intervention to ensure that INGO addresses and resolves these problems and that other consumers do not suffer similar inconveniences.Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a timely resolution.

    On August 26th 2024 I attempted to upload and cash a check through the Ingo check cashing app. I followed the process exactly as they have asked. They had agreed to take the check. They just needed another photo of the check voided for security sake which is completely understandable. However after I had written void on the check they denied it and immediately closed the account. I'm not sure what they expected me to do with avoided check and no money. But at this point in time their lackadaisical approach a lnd virtually no sincerity in their apology or efforts to make it right . I just want my check cashed it wasn't even all that much it was only $237.77 I am not exactly wealthy and this check was going to be extremely crucial for me but instead I had to go into personal debt because they would not give me what I was owed. I would like some help in resolving this scenario I do not seek any sort of anger or anything out of this. I just really want my money and I want them to try. It's a shame that there's no generosity or sincerity in anything that they have done to render the matter solved. Thank you very much have a good day.

    I went to one of my local *** stores to load money to my NetSpend card and accidentally gave them the wrong card which you can't loaf money too. I have $500 sitting out in *********. I have been calling Ingo for weeks (as it says on the *** receipt) to send the receipt to have the money loaded onto my NetSpend card. The person's name is ****** and he has yet to call me back and this expires on 9-09-2024. At this point, I'm nor going to get my $500 sitting in *********. I've called the credit card company and they don't see the $500 transaction from me giving the wrong card to load money to.

    I was sent a check for a job offer and I tried to cash the check with ingo, it ended up being a scam.and the check was not real. I have cashed numerous of checks with no issues with no fraud activities. I was tricked into thinking that this company was offering me a job and sending a legit check but it was a scam. I sent over email proof of this and still I was denied access to cash checks with ingo. Not only ingo but my.local.krogers a d ******* and other platforms. I myself am a victim and now I am being banned because I didn't know.it was a scam. Despite the proof I sent they still kept my account blocked. I am an honest person and I feel like I was not only.victimized by the offered fake job but now my livelihood. I want for this ban to be removed from my.name. I have a lot of proof showing that I my self was scammed. Attached is the email I was sent from the people that sent me a fraudulent check.
