AccountNow Reviews (%countItem)

I have had a account with this company for several years now. In December of 2017, I was suppose to receive my new debit card before my expiration date 1-2018. I never received this card. I call them in December they assured me it was sent. I checked my p.o box and there was no card. I called them in January they stars once again it would arrive in 7-10 days. I explained to them this is not accepetable and its poor business on there behalf. Their customer service person stated I can pay a extra fee of $25 for expedited service of my card. I refused and told her why should I pay extra for a card they Gail to send on time to me. Today is February 13, 2018 I still have not received my card. I have over $800.00 plus another pending deposit and can not access any of my funds I worked for to pay my mortgage, car payment, light, gas, water, car insurance, food, etc. Also the late penalties I will have to pay extra. This is a HUGE inconvenience on my life. I want them to be heaps responsible for all my late fees. This company is holding my funds unlawfully. They won't even transfer my fund to another banking account so I can pay bills and go about living. I had to call off work today because I have no money for gas to drive my car. This is a hardship for my family and this company is totally at fault.

Complaint: ***I am rejecting this response because: I aquired late fees due to their Negligence as a company . I offered my savings account information to them so they could do a bank to bank transfer and they said No they wouldn't do it. Initially I was told the new card was mailed December 21,2017. This was a lie. Account Now is at fault for me not being able to pay my bills on time. My rent, light, gas, water, car insurance and car payment as well as being able to put gas in my car and purchase food. This company wrongfully held my funds, causing my family everyday difficulty. Their apology isn't accepted. That's not solving the issue they initiated and transferring my funds would have solved the issue, but they chose to hold them without a Legal reason.

Sincerely

Thank you . I would like to know if there is any civil suites against this company?

AccountNow declined a charge to the merchant but removed the funds from my account anyway. They required the merchant to send a cancellation letter which they did and the funds were returned to my account. 2 days later AccountNow authorized that same charge AGAIN which sent my account -$113.99. When I call for updates not 1 customer service agent is able to give me any answers.

On February 6,2018, there were two attempts by Transworld to authorize a $400.00 transaction on Ms. card. That same day, we received a faxed letter from the merchant stating that a $400.00 payment had been declined. We removed a $400.00 authorization with the belief that the transaction would not be settled by that merchant. On February 8, 2018, Transworld Inc. collected $400.00 from the cardholder’s account. Ms. contacted AccountNow on February 8, 2018, to file a claim for the $400.00 transaction. She stated that she was told by merchant that they had no received the $400.00 payment.

On February 15,2018, it was determined by AccountNow that the cardholder would not be granted a credit for her dispute. Per the investigator, it was confirmed by Transworld Inc. that the $400.00 in question was successfully received. Based on this information, the claim was denied. Ms. may contact the merchant, Transworld Inc., if she has any questions regarding the charge.

I have been a member since 2003 or 2004. I lost my wallet while in the process of moving. I contacted them to report my card lost and an address change. Customer service told me on 5 different occasions that a new card will be sent out to me with my direct deposit from social security on it. They also said that someone would contact me and never did. Now they tell me that they sent my direct deposit back to social security. My rent was due on the 1st. They also told me that I will be receiving a new card by Wednesday the earliest and Friday the latest but nothing. I use those funds to care for my handicap daughter and pay my rent. Now my landlord is talking about eviction. So what am I supposed to do

On January 23, 2018, Ms. contacted AccountNow to have a replacement card sent to her new address. For security reasons, she was told that she would receive a call in 72 - hours to complete the process and the card was blocked to prevent unauthorized activity. There was a deposit set to post on January 27,2018, but given the status of the account the deposit was rejected. On January 30,2018, AccountNow received documentation from the cardholder to clear a block placed on her account. She had previously failed security questions and as such, she was advised she would need to send identification documents for verification purposes. The documents were reviewed January 30,2018 and it was determined that the cardholder provided a W-2 Form and an address document; however, AccountNow determined that photo identification would still be required.

Per terms and conditions, AccountNow may refuse to issue a Card, refuse to activate a Card, refuse to allow you to open a Card account, revoke or suspend your Card privileges or cancel your Card with or without cause or notice, other than as required by applicable law.

The documents were reviewed February 15, 2018 and it was determined that the cardholder provided photo identification, a W-2 Form and an address document. The account was reinstated, and a new card was expedited at no charge for delivery in 3 business days. Ms. is advised to contact the originator of her deposit regarding the January 27 deposit.

A couple of things happen in between every phone conversation with customer service. Never not one time did I received this so call call. So on that note I strongly believe that your company did not inform me of the necessary steps in a timely manner. I been with your company to many years to get set aside. Customer service had no real answers. So by all that being said. I will not be or will never ever deal with your company again. Have a Bless day!Complaint: ***I am rejecting this response because:Sincerely

My bank account was fraudulently debited $550. I followed policy in filing dispute of same. My account was immediately frozen along with all funds currently in my account, the refunded charge, and access to all records. I followed the direction of the telephone representative, and my ONE given opportunity to withdrawal my $950, was not successful as promised. They now give me no options but to wait 5 weeks for a check. I need the money I lost in a timely manner. I’m a single working mother, a nurse, and my child had a serious health condition. I did nothing wrong. I need my $950 immediately

On January 25, 2018, Ms. contacted AccountNow to report unauthorized activity. Based on the nature of the claim, the account was permanently closed. On February 7, 2018, Ms. received a credit for her claim. Being that the account was closed, she would have to wait for a check.

Following receipt of Ms. complaint, on February 14, 2018, a supervisor from AccountNow’s corporate office reviewed her concern. At that time, a credit for the full amount of her claim was applied to another AccountNow account in Ms. name.

AccountNow Response • Feb 12, 2018

On February 9,2018, Ms. contacted AccountNow regarding a pending transaction on her card from a hotel. She requested to have the funds credited back to her account, as she had checked out. She was given the time frame for the hold to fall off and given the option to have the hotel fax over confirmation that they were not going to collect the pending amount. Please note, AccountNow routinely receives, and processes faxed requests to have pending holds released prior to the expiration date of the hold.

Per the Cardholder Agreement, when you use your Card to pay for goods or services, certain merchants may ask us to pre-authorize the transaction in advance and may estimate the final purchase amount. Transactions at certain merchants that pre-authorize high dollar amounts, especially rental car companies and hotels, may cause a “hold” on your available balance for up to 90 days. You will not be able to use the money on your Card that is “on hold.” We will release any remaining amount when the transaction finally settles.

On February 12, 2018, AccountNow processed a fax from the hotel confirming that the cardholder checked out and that they were not going to collect the money. Based on the confirmation from the merchant, as of February 12, 2018, the hold was credited back into Ms. account.

Transferred $100 via MoneyGram on 12/31/2017 through AccountNow's website. After not receiving a confirmation email or transaction number over the holiday, I called AccountNow to cancel the original transaction on 1/2/2018. I was told funds of $111.50 (amount of transaction plus tax) would be credited back to my account within 5-7 business days. I called each and every day beginning on Monday, 1/15/18 to check for funds as they were not received as promised. Each time, I was told the money should deposit by 'tomorrow' or at a later date within the same week of calling. It is now 2/8/2018 and I have yet to receive the $111.50 as told and as owed. MoneyGram has confirmed the cancellation on their end and have sent funds back to the financial institution (AccountNow). I called AccountNow again today (2/8/2018) and was told they are not sure how to get the funds back to me. I will be closing my account as soon as possible, but want to receive my funds beforehand. Please help if any way possible. Thanks for your time.

I received a direct deposit from IRS on an prepaid card through them. They closed the account and claimed to send the money back to IRS on December 28, 2017 however IRS has not received it.

February 3, 2018 I uploaded funds to a prepaid card that I have with account now. When I tried to make a purchase my card kept declining, because the card rejected my four digit pin I created, so I ran it under credit to purchase my items.. The next day I tried to use the prepaid card to withdraw the remaining balance from the card at an ATM, and again my pin number that I set and have written on paper was declined twice, I changed my mind of withdrawing cash and tried to make a puchase at the nearby convenient store. I ran my purchase as credit and my card was blocked. I called customer service to discuss the issue, and as I followed the prompts, I accidentally pressed the wrong number of an option I didn't need. The option was for lost and stolen cards. I was told to confirm this matter by keying in my five digit zipcode to confirm that I was giving them consent that my card lost or stolen: I never confirmed the option and they still locked my card, even though I didn't give them my consent. The next business working day I called to inform them that my card was not lost nor stolen, and that the card was in my possession; and that I did not confirm for them to lock my card. They reactivated my card, and after I used it one time only they blocked my card again. I asked an agent why would they do that? She told me because the card was reported as lost or stolen, I told her it was an accident of me pressing the wrong number, and that I still had the card. Although, they was made aware of the issue they still didn't fix their error. I am dissatisfied that they are charging me ten dollars for a replacement I didn't consent to. It doesn't makes any logic sense to me that they reactivated my card for me to use only once, and block me from using what belongs to me... They are scammers in disguise. They blocked my card without me giving them any confirmation to do so; and it is not right that I have to pay ten dollars for a replacement card I told them I didn't need, because my original card is not lost or stolen. It didn't makes sense for them to allow me to use my card that was supposed to be reported as lost or stolen for one time only, and reblocked my card from any further usage. I was also told the replacement card would arrive 5-7 days, then they told me 7-10 days, and they changed it to 10-12 days, and now they are saying it should be here in 6-8 days. Too many inaccuracies...

AccountNow Response • Feb 13, 2018

On February 4, 2018, Ms. cancelled her card through AccountNow’s IVR phone system. For security reasons, the card could not be permanently reactivated. On February 5, 2018, Ms. contacted AccountNow and an agent explained that she would need to order a replacement card, but she refused. On February 6, 2018, Ms. contacted AccountNow again and was given access to the balance of her account using the old card.

On February 7,2018, Ms. contacted AccountNow and a new card was ordered. As a courtesy, the $10.00 replacement card fee was reversed. Note that the timeframe to receive a new card is 5 - 7 business days. Ms. was also given the option of having a card expedited, but she declined.

Complaint: ***I am rejecting this response because: they are scammers in disguise, and I strongly dislike how they withhold their customers funds. I never needed a replacement card to begin with, and after I refused to pay $10.00 for a card they thought they could scam me into paying for they then reversed the money back to my card...

Complaint: ***I am rejecting this response because:The way their options are set up is terrible. I told representatives that the option I chose was accidental, and it is not right that I, as well as other customers do not have the options to confirm that choice. They have it set-up that way, in order to scam customers out of ten dollars; on up to twenty-five dollars for expedite service, making profit off of their transparent schemes... I reject.Sincerely

I had an account for a pre-paid Visa through AccountNow. They deleted my account and promised to re-issue a new card and that my current card would be deactivated. It has been 16 days and I still have not received my new card. The company charged me $25 to expedite the delivery of a new card, which I still have not received. I have direct deposit from my employer and my paycheck goes directly to the card number associated with my AccountNow account. I notified my employer that my card issuer cancelled my account without notice and I am unable to access my paycheck. My payroll department said they have not received a returned paycheck or notice from AccountNow that the account was cancelled, so they are unable to issue a new check to me. I spoke with AccountNow customer service, and the representative was extremely rude and either unable or unwilling to resolve this issue. I have to access to my funds from my paycheck and I cannot pay my bills that are due because of AccountNow's irresponsible negligence and indifference to the situation.

They keep closing my account for verification purposes but I have already gave them ALL my information like my drivers license social security card work information and everything by they keep shutting my card off without any notifications or anything.

AccountNow Response • Jan 31, 2018

The Card referenced in Mr. complaint was blocked on January 16, 2018, for further review of a deposit because the account had exceeded the $10,000.00 threshold set for AccountNow cards. On January 18, 2018, documents provided by Mr. were reviewed and his account was reinstated.

Customer Response • Feb 07, 2018

Complaint: ***I am rejecting this response because:I believe the customer service reps need to be fully trained and answer questions about my account and help me resolve the issue instead of being rude hanging up on me multiple times. IF customer care could have helped me with this information then we wouldn't be here. Then after the 10,000.00 was deposited and I turned it back on then no more than 2 weeks later they shut it off again becaus2 of my fiance's check that has been going inthere for the same amount of time and now they shut it off after this whole issue. And when trying to figure this one out I kept getting the run around so we ( my fiance and I) sent everything in and still got rejected so we called and they said they need directdeposit of verification so we called her hr and sent them it again it was rejected. After calling and getting hung up on multiple times we said ok here's the most verification we can get and she wrote a hand written note with both our id' social security and my card and send pictures of her holding everything and that worked if they could have said this from the beginning we could have again avoided this. When asking for the upload departments or someone who keeps rejecting it they flat out refused to direct me over there , a supervisor or a complaint line. I was stuck in Oregon because of this sleeping in my cold car with barely any food. And I told them my situation and they didn't care not a way to show customer compassion.

I have been a customer with Account now, for about 3 yrs. I made a purchase at my local Forever 21 a few days before Xmas. One was for 100.00, I’m ehich was a gift card & the other was on a shirt that was 11.93. I made both these purchasing with my Account now Debit card & the find where taken. Fast forward to 1/6/2018. I was then charged again for the purchase. I called Account now & made them aware that the money was taken from my card, they cancelled my card & then gave me info on what to do next as far as them investigating the card purchases. I then called Forever 21, who told me they have been having a issue & there may have been unauthorized access to data from payment cards that were used at certain Forever 21 stores, this information is also on their website, in order to warn customers. I printed out the info, along with the info they asked me to fax them about my account. I got a letter Tuesday 1/16/18 basically saying they are not going to give me the money back because they see I shop there frequently, in which is true, I do. But that day I haven’t done so, & I didn’t give anyone permission to do so, I had my card on me & had actually shopped at my local wal mart that day, so I No one stole my card. I just want my 111.93 back. I didn’t authorize or spend any money in that store that day & feel I’m not getting it back just because I actually do shop there. Please help me out in anyway possible, I work very hard for my Money.

You will not be able to use the money on your Card that is “on hold.” We will release any remaining amount when the transaction finally settles.

As stated in the Cardholder Agreement, money on your card may be held until a transaction is completed. The two transactions in question were pre-authorized on December 22,2017; however, the transactions were not finalized by Forever 21 until January 6,2018. The cardholder’s December statement does not reflect any transactions from Forever 21; however, her January statement will show the completed transactions.

On January 11,2018, it was determined by AccountNow that the cardholder would not be granted a credit for her dispute. Per the investigator, the transactions were an attempt to collect and outstanding debt by the merchant. This was enough for the claim to be denied.

Tell us why here...

January 10th ,2018 I called into Accountnow to report funds missing out of my account, immediate action was taking and I was assured my situation would be taken care of. On Friday the 12th of January and was told that I would be receiving a card in 7 to 10 business days so I ask that my card be expedited to me because I have no other to my funds because they are all on the account. Ive called everyday since then Ive been calling in. Here it is the 23rd of January and I still dont have my card, I cant pay my bills, eat, or buy things I need for my home because of this. During each call Ive had a represntative guarantee me the policy would be handled. This is a 24-72 hour process that has taken a week. I am about to seek legal action reguarding policy and my money. I will be homeless if they continue to hold my card. There should be something that consumers should be able to get something done about this. This is very unprofessional. My health and life is on the line.
