As you may be aware, ********** switched over from providing benefit payments through **** of America prepaid debit cards to Money Network debit cards. Although my address was changed through EDD, Money Network received my previous address. As a result, my new card was mailed to my previous address, activated and fraudulently used by whomever received it.I called Money Network to report my card had been compromised. They confirmed the card had been sent to my old address, confirmed my new address was in fact documented in EDD;s system and agreed to send a new card to my new address. However, I would need to file a claim in order to recover the funds stolen from me. It's been nearly a week now, and I have not yet received the forms required to start to process of recovering funds. In addition, I am unable to activate my new card (with only the remaining funds issued by EDD) because you are required to have a PIN to access customer service. How do I obtain a PIN? I can't get through to anyone and have been calling for 3 days now. I would like to be able to reach a body at Money Network or anyone who can tell me how it is I can access my unemployment benefits.Business Response

Dear **************,
We are responding to your BBB complaint regarding your Money Network dispute.
We received and reviewed your dispute stating the cards were stolen from your mailbox. The claim was denied for the following reasons:
The cards were activated using a phone number that is registered under your name and address *************).
The PIN set up when activating the cards was used for the purchases.
The card usage does not pattern third party fraud.
We would be happy to review again, if any new information or documentation can be provided to support the claim of fraud.

I was a card holder with your company through Unemployment when there was fraud on my account which prompted you to have to close my card out. There is still money on the card which I'm unable to transfer or cash out because the card was closed and when I call the customer service number it won't transfer me to a representative because it says it can't find my account because you closed it. I have no way of getting my money I have no way of talking to somebody.Business Response

The balance on the card is $358.43. We can have a check sent to the address on file of ************************************ A WALLINGFORD, ** 19086-6701. The other option would be to contact the unemployment agency that set up the account to establish a new account for you which will generate a new card to be sent.
Please respond to confirm if you would like to have a check sent for the amount of funds remaining on the card.

Me EDD account was switched from B of A to Money Network. I have attempted to transfer my funds to my bank account, and the transfer failed (all the information was completely accurate, I never had any problems transferring with B of A). When I tried to contact customer service the automated recording requires you type your pin number to get any customer service. Well because I never use my pin (I always do bank transfers), I don't remember it. I have tried every phone number I have found online to try to reach someone. There is literally no way to speak to someone without your pin, and there is no way to change your pin without knowing your original pin. And of course I can't even go to an ATM without my pin, so I literally have absolutely no access to my money and no way to get access. I am days away from defaulting on my credit cards. I need access to my money.Business Response

Money Network claimed to be sending me a new EDD debit card on 1/24/2024. However, they erroneously mailed it to an incorrect address. On 1/20/2024 I called customer service to speak to a person regarding this matter but was transferred to the automated system, which stated that a card would arrive in a few days and then terminated my call. I waited until 1/23/2024 to follow-up again, and I was able to speak to a customer service representative. I was told that a new card had in fact not been sent out and that they would not even provide me the necessary information to set up an online account. After having verified all of my information, by phone, the representative still refused to provide me any options to access the desperately needed funds in my account. I was told that it was a company policy to withhold the accessible and necessary information required for me to retrieve the money in my own account. Due to ********************************************* error and misrepresentation, I would be denied all access to my funds for ten days, until a new card is received. Due to their unwillingness to provide alternative resolutions, I was without food and shelter. This business hijacked my funds without providing me with any means to funds in my own account. This is a very serious problem that definitely needs to be rectified. I am considering also taking legal action against Money Network for causing undue harm, pain and suffering. Please address these policies and procedures. Thank you.Business Response

I was issued a debit card from money network for a economic impact payment. I live in **********.We started to use the card until it was misplaced. It was reported and a new card was issued with the balance of $******. I never used this new card and still have it in my possession. Somehow my card number was used in a fraudulent transaction at CVS in *****. this sole transaction was a swiped transaction for my entire balance of ******. This was not done by me. I have never been to ************ and can prove I was in ********** on 11-2-22 the date of the fraud transaction. I filed a dispute with money network and my claim was denied. I via mail asked for copies of the documents that were used to make the determination. Nothing was provided. I than filled an appeal. I got a letter saying I would get another letter asking for more information. That second letter never came. My appeal was denied. I did not make this charge. I do not live in ***** and I did not spend this money at CVS. my card has a chip on it and my chip was not used. somehow a leak at money network is responsible for my card number getting out. I am a fraud victim and money network is refusing to fix it.Business Response

I want this company to leave me alone. Since my business opened on January 1, 2024 I have had nothing but problems! I began my account in November, and had until 1-12-2024 to cancel. I canceled on the 1-11-24. They charged me for early termination. I received a full refund for the $750. Every week I receive an email for a charge for my Clover account. I call them wait over an hour to talk to someone, only to wait even more and be transferred non stop. No one says the same thing, and nothing changes. I have attached screen shots of emails with my clover representative ****, as well as from Clover stating my account is closed. I also attached the bill they just sent me in the mail. Please help me get them to close my account fully and stop billing me!! This company is a scam and have no problems stealing your money.Business Response

My business was broken into and my device was stolen. On February 19th, the day of the burglary I called Clover and spoke with "****" after ***** minutes she assured me that a replacement device would be shipped and that the order went through. I followed up again today on February 20 and spoke to "****" who informed me that NO replacement device was ordered and the claim was never filed. I had to go through the whole process AGAIN. this cost me my business HOURS TIME AND MONEY!!!! in addition to my aggravation at dealing with the worst company and worst customer service possible. ******************** has never answered my support emails regarding populated data being registered on my account without my knowledge like charges that never existed in cash or check and more! Clover does not reply to support emails, nor does their customer service ACTUALLY DO THIER JOB. I want a full investigation into why the replacement device was not placed, as the CALL WAS RECORDED, I have the emails showing the email verification codes that the agent sent TWICE on February 19th- showing that I DID speak with someone, they just decided to hold a small business that got robbed over their head TWICE.Business Response

Youre all lying and hiding the phone calls. Here are the records from February 19 that I called and I spoke with a representative for 20 minutes- the representative also sent me OTP to verify my account. Youll see the phone call log from February 19 and 20th and the emails. Your abhorrent and ineffective customer service cost me one week worth of business!!!! Find those records- I wont be accepting any phone calls from clover any longer unless I will be recording them on my end. Everything needs to be kept in written email communication.

Its quite simple- youre hiding the calls- its obvious the one time passcodes were generated by the representative on the phone to confirm the account. Thats clear evidence of my phone call and I sent you photos of the screenshots from my own call log.
since you record all your calls you DEFINITELY need to do the work AND FIND THOSE CALLS!
once again- your company cost me ONE WEEK WORTH OF BUSINESS AND NOW YOURE BACK TO PLAYING GAMES AGAIN. Seems very convenient that you suddenly cant find those calls- I wonder if your company was subpoenaed legally would they find those calls? I recommend you do the work and find those calls on file- otherwise you need to investigate your employees and see how much power they have in deleting any records. I have serious questions and reservations.
