After what I thought was just activating the card, I received an email that said I was almost done, I just had to fax in my DL, SSC, and a billI sent those in, I called to find out the status even though YOUR email states YOU would be in touch with ME, just to find out the card was already activatedYou have put my identity at risk as I sent in all of the information your misleading email states I needed toThis is unacceptable and I'm reporting you to the Federal Reserve for being incredibly misleading in your terms and conditions

They released my money and refunded my finance charges

AccountNow is nothing but a ripoffMy account was closed on Sunday, November 27, and I was never notifiedIt was closed due to negative account balance which was generated from their monthly fee of $and I charge that was sent through weeks after the fact which I dont understand how because it was taken right out of my account the same dayI didnt know my account was closed until I logged in on this morning to see if my deposit hand been posted and I receive a message stating that my access to the AccountNow customer service center was restrictedSo I called in and spoke with a Customer Service Representative and eventually a supervisor and basically all I got was a *** you and oh wellThey told they were under no obligation to inform that my account was being closed because " they didnt close it was done automatically by their system on negative accounts." So I asked them can I reactivate the account since my deposit was pending and they informed that they couldnt reactivate the account but I can request a new account be reapplying againThey said my direct deposit was being rejected and would be sent back to my employer when then business hoursAccountNow is nothinng but a ripoff and the customer service department dont have access to do anything but tell you about your account which is what you can do online yourselfThey didnt offer no apologies or alternative solutions just an oh wellSo here it days before my rent is due, car note is due, and my daughter's birthday and I dont have any moneyMy company pays us once a month because we are salaried employees and due to my account being closed they wont be able to issue me another check until January 1, AccountNow states in their consumer agreement that your funds are FDIC insured and you wont be held responsible for any charges you didnt create which I figured by now is a lieI sent in a dispute regarding a $ATM charge that was on my account, I notified them that the no money was issued from ATM but the money was still withdrawn from my accountThey process the dispute within days and told me it was denied but I never received any communication as into why only that the decision was final and can not be undoneSo I had to contact the ATM company directly to have the issue resolved because they never received any dispute issued from AccountNow so basically they just lied to mePlease dont use this card it is a waste of time and you will be disappointed I had this card for years and now I am leaving them because they customer services sucks and so does their policy and proceduresBasically I was told that everything is done by an automated system the customer service reporesentatives are just there for those who dont want to access the online system

Ms***-*** did not provide a callback number on her complaintWe do not find a $shoe purchase that has been applied to her account at allShe may contact our office at *** and provide the details necessary to
locate the transaction
At this time with the information provided to us, we do not find a transaction as described

This company advertising say you get paid up to two days faster witch was the case when I first got the card then a month later that changed they have hidden fees that is never disclosed prior to activation and even when you ask to speak to someone in charge supervisor or manger the customer service either discount you or won't get you anyone when there is a problem with there services very disappointed with this company

We have determined that the $credit referenced in this complaint was never received from the F* *** storeThis was confirmed with the Store's processing company and the cash service provider and will be reflected in the store's batch deposit total.On 3/27/we left a message
for the customer.There has been no return call from the customer and on 3/28/we left a second message.If the customer is due credit, the customer will need to contact F* *** for reimbursement.The customer may contact AccountNow with any questions at *** ***

Our investigation into the customer's disputed transaction determined that no error occurred and the dispute was deniedWe based our decision on the following details: on November 12, a $deposit was applied to the account
On November 13, 2015, the customer checked the account balance from the telephone number in our records; (XXX) XXX-XXXX and received SMS text responses with the account balanceFollowing this activity, the disputed $transaction with Albertson's store #occurredThis confirms that the customer was aware of the account balance prior to the disputed transaction and the customer had possession of the Visa card associated with the account
On 12/9/15, we spoke to an agent at Albertson's #The agent located the disputed $transaction and has provided AccountNow with a copy of the transaction receiptThe agent stated that she was never contacted in regards to locating this transaction before and that if another agent had been contacted by the cardholder to research this transaction, it would have gone through her or the front manager of Albertson's #The Albertson's agent also asked the front manager if they had been in contact with the cardholder or were informed of another agent researching the disputed transaction for our cardholder, but the front manager said that they have no knowledge of the disputed transaction either or the customer contacting Albertson's
Based upon the facts available to us, we stand behind the decision to deny the customer claim

I check the status of my debit card daily, either by text or onlineBecause I check my balance daily I was able to notice the unauthorized transaction on the morning of November 14, that took place on November 13, at 8:52pmI notified account now and was advised by their representative to wait until the transaction cleared and then file a disputeThe transaction cleared on Monday, November 16, I contacted AccountNow again and was told to contact merchant for a merchants refundI contacted Alberton's and spoke with *** who took all my info and she would have their loss prevention dept to investigateThey called me several times over days to get more info because they were having a hard time locating a transaction in the amount of $or the debit card number usedI talked with *** at Albertsons as well as the manager so the statement on regards to Alberton's never speaking with me is falseThe question I have is why did AccountNow contact Alberton's on December 9, if they've made their determination based on their "investigation" completed per AccountNow on November 24, 2015? The card was in my possession at the time of the unauthorized transaction that I did not make, which is why its unauthorizedNever have I had an issue with my AccountNow debit card until now, and I just want what was taken from me credited back

You deny dispute saying its not fraud but hold on to funds claiming it is fraudI have filled out the form u have asked and was denied I would like this dispute reopened since you claim that the $was a fraudulent transaction what about the several other transactions that WERE fraud I am requesting that this dispute be overturned since the error claim was not denied I am requesting that a check be issued for the remaining amount of the dispute
