      To whom it may concern,

      I have recently opened a ****** Reloadable *** Card and made my first cash deposit in store of $60 this evening 12/16/23 at 6:57pm at the Kannapolis, NC store. I used the mobile app barcode to add the money and the funds are supposed to post instantly.

      I have reached out to card services and they have no record of the transaction and have instructed me to contact ****** corporate.

      I have attached the receipt of the cash deposit for the reload as well as screen shots of my *** Card account showing no funds or transactions.

      I need a resolution for this as it is not acceptable to have a cash deposit go missing when this is supposed to be an instant process.

      I look forward to a prompt response,

      I purchased a MetaBank Ready Card (Mastercard), a prepaid card, at Kings Island Amusement Park in Mason, Ohio on 5/13/22. I loaded $450 on the card. The card has an expiration date of October of 2024.

      The card # is 4510 0208 2011 2368.

      I tried to use the card this Fall as I still had $226.03 on the card. But when I attempted to make a purchase, I learned that the card had $0 left on it. After doing some research, I learned that there were 2 transactions--$215 and $11.05--totaling $226.03 that were made fraudulently on 7/30/23. The transactions were made at DTLR in Columbus, Ohio.

      I have never been to DTLR---so these are fraudulent transactions. I believe my card was duplicated/skimmed at one of the few places I used it...maybe ****** **** ** ***** ******* *n Canal Winchester, Ohio. I had the District Manager at Burger King review the footage of my transaction and she did not see anything that was a red flag to her.

      The point is that the card has never been out of my possession except for a couple fast-food transactions.

      I have reached out to ReadyCard for help from their fraud research team. I did file a claim but it was pretty pointless as they came back and basically told me, "the charges aren't fraudulent since I have the card in hand". I don't feel like they looked into the transactions at all. They have not called DTLR. They did not ask for security footage that shows the 2 fraudulent transactions. All they did was tell me something I already know. One of the lead workers at DTLR told me that my card was likely duplicated/skimmed during one of my fast-food drive-thru purchases.

      I am filing this complaint because no one from MetaBank....aka "ReadyCard" will speak to me about this issue. I have asked many times to get a call from a supervisor to no avail. I am extremely frustrated. Please hold them accountable!

      I have filed a police report with the ******** *****e here in Ohio, but that process is still in the initial stages.

      In reviewing the card ending in **** and your complaint, we wanted to let you know that we have investigated the disputes in question and saw no evidence of fraud based on the activity on the account.

      Since the card was in your possession and was manually swiped at the retailer DTLR it would not indicate skimming took place. We do stand with the decision based upon the investigation procedures.

      I am rejecting this response because: I did not use this card at this retailer.  I have never been to this retailer.  A crime was committed with my ReadyCard and I would ask that ReadyCard more thoroughly investigate the 2 disputed purchases.  All I have received are vague responses with no additional data....and the fact that I ave been given no options to speak to a live representative in the dispute department is totally unacceptable.  PLEASE do thorough research on the 2 transactions....what did they buy?  Are we certain that they had the ReadyCard in hand?  Can you get surveillance footage of the individual(s) that made the purchases?  More work needs to be done on this case other than these general, vague answers.  A crime has been committed with this card!  I don't know how they pulled it off, but I know that there is a lot more that ReadyCard and the vendor can do to try and figure this out.

      Resolution is attached Again, I apologize for the lack of communication concerning your dispute results.
      As we discussed over the phone, the dispute was initially closed because the card was physically swiped
      (mag stripe read) on the point-of-sale system at the retail store DTLR and not manually entered as is the
      case with fraud or skimming. After review, the dispute remains denied.
      We also discussed continuing your pursuit with the local police, with whom you have already been in
      contact, as they will have more investigative options than we currently do. We will cooperate with
      authorities if they reach out.

      Visa Reward Card, issued by Metabank expired on 10/23 and the entire funds of $150.00 were not used. On 11/1/2023 a transaction of -$150.00 was entered on the card due to the card's expiration date. I had no idea there was an expiration date so early on the card. Assumed that under Federal Law, gift card funds would be good at least 5 years so didn't even look for an expiration date when I received the card in September 2022. Was waiting to use the card for 2023 Xmas shopping and when I attempted to use it on 11/3/2023 it was declined. I'm seeking a replacement card in the amount of $150.00 - I'm willing to pay for a replacement card in the amount of $5.95 if need be. My employer purchased this card and both the employer and myself are out the $150.00. It's available, so please reissue a new reward card in the amount of $150.00. You can contact me for the Visa card number, expiration date, and security code. Where do these unused funds go - someone gets them?

      Response from Visa: We value your business and regret that we cannot directly help you with this situation. Visa does not set up, service, or have access to cardholder accounts. This is done through our client financial institutions (the banks). Each financial institution has its own criteria for issuing Visa branded gift cards, disputes, authorizing, or declining transactions, how it manages statements, etc.

      We are unable to locate an account with the name and
      address provided. Please verify bank name on the back of the card is Pathward.
      If so, provide 16-digit card #, on the card. Or the account/routing number

      I purchased the first **** gift card for $100 plus the $6 fee to have the privilege of purchasing this **** gift card at target on August 12.
      The magnetic strip on the back had glue on it that would not come off. I tried to use it online but it kept telling me my card didn't register to an address. I called the number on the back of the card on September 8 and filed a claim and sent all the required back up that they asked for. Today is now December 12th and I still don't have a replacement gift card. I have called multiple times and every time I am told something different. I purchased a second $100 **** gift card at a different target on October 14. | tried using it at two different places and it doesn't even beep the machine like it's being read. I took it back to target to talk to them about it and of course they say they can't take it back and gave me different numbers to call, but those did not even help and I have not called the number on the back
      of the card because I haven't even gotten resolution on the first card I have a problem with let alone calling and putting a claim on this card. I need replacement cards that WORK or my money back. I have filed a BBB claim once (claim #********). It was sent to the wrong company and closed by the BBB and they requested I file another claim. This is my second claim. Please forward to Pathward Venture Capital LLC in South Dakota as instructed by the BBB. Thank you

      I have an account balance of $139.36. The account was frozen without any e-mail, phone call, or text message informing me of the change but they insist there was fraudulent activity. Customer support suggested I contact my job that I have gotten the card from. That job was been closed for several years.

      I purchased 3 $200 gift cards total paid $600 and only 1 has money on it. They still owe me $400. I called ****** and they sent me back to this company. Cards show not active but I have my receipt from ******. They made me wait 30 days from Oct 6, 2023 and finally I did and then they told me that they would send me new cards. New cards still haven’t arrived and now I have to wait again. It’s been 2 months now and no refund and no cards. Very frustrating!!

      Receipt of the above styled complaint is hereby acknowledged. We have investigated the issue
      with your Target Visa Gift Cards.


      When a card is purchased, the point of sale triggers the activation of the card. We were unable
      to locate any attempts made to activate the cards in question. Unfortunately, we are unable to
      find any evidence these cards were ever given any value. As standard procedure,
      documentation was requested to investigate this matter when we were initially contacted. We
      received your documents and a refund check in the amount of $400.00 has been expedited to
      you via ***** tracking number ************. Our records indicate that it was delivered on
      December 13, 2023. The timeframe it took to resolve this matter is not our standard and we are

Pathward financial allowed someone to make three $810 transactions and one $354.38 transaction plus the transaction fees for the four transactions. I tried to call for well over an hour. Each call the representative would take information and then hang up on me. The last representative stated he would send paperwork for us to sign for fraudulent charges and we never received the email with the paperwork. The social security is our monthly income so now we aren't able to pay bills. I want a refund of the money stolen from my account.

      I have a VISA debit card issued by ********. The card number ends in **** with an expiration of ****** It had approximately $150 on it, but when I try to use it, there is no balance. I called the phone number on the back of the card (************) and was told that there was no balance and the account was closed. Again, there was $149.02 on the card and I have NOT used the card since that was the balance.

      Kindly replace the funds on the card.

      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because Bright Health refuses to refund the money to me.  The funds were placed in a prepaid card with my name on it and an expiration date in the future.  I did NOT authorize any funds being taken from my account.  

      Under what authority does anyone other than myself have the right to remove funds that belong to me?



      Sincerely,

I called back as well following money on nov 13,2023 they told me the card was already sent standard shipping which take 7-10 business. I told them I requested and paid for expedite shipping which would be 3-5 business. Every time I called they told me incorrect information & told me my card is on the way. I re ordered my card yesterday after my card was promised to be by a supervisor that it will arrive Monday. I called first thing this morning and spoke with an agent and someone gave me a fake tracking * ************** ****************** . I called back the second time today and tried to ask for a tracking number the card holder service then told me I don’t have a tracking number and my card will come in 7-10 business again.

      I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding a gift card issued by MetaBank and purchased at CVS on 11/2/2023. The $200 gift card was rendered unusable on 11/10/2023, displaying a balance of $0 due to a one-time debit charge at Target for $200 on 11/7/2023. At the time of the incident, I had not initiated any transaction nor opened the card. After contacting customer service, I was informed that resolution would be delayed until the matter is investigated by the fraud department, a process that may take up to 90 days. Throughout the call, I was put on hold and no contact information was documented for follow-up. I seek immediate assistance in resolving this matter and expect a prompt replacement of the lost funds.
