      Hello BBB,

      The business has finally responded to me, and has finally given me my money back. 

      It is concerning that the lack of response to a consumer is one thing, but to lack response to BBB is concerning. 

      Thank you for helping keep us safe from bad businesses.

      Thank You,

      My grandson is in the Peoria County Jail. These people accept money & then put it in the inmates books. They claim that someone did a charge back; which locked my grandsons account. They wont give us any information on this transaction & has blocked anyones ability to put money on his books. It went from $15 that was owed, to $121.50, so we paid it & still cant put money on his books!! You cant reach anyone & if you do, they give you a non working number to call!

      Dear Teawana,
      We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience youve experienced and appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns. Your satisfaction is important to us.
      We understand your concern involves your grandsons ability to receive deposits.After a thorough review of his deposit history, we noted the following:
      A deposit of $23.95 made on April 12, 2025, was disputed by the financial institution, resulting in a chargeback to Access Corrections on May 9, 2025. This also incurred a $25 reinstatement fee imposed by the bank.

      A second deposit of $22.95, made on April 28, 2025, was also disputed. This resulted in:

      A chargeback on May 10, 2025, with a $25 reinstatement fee, and
      A second dispute of the same transaction, leading to another chargeback and an additional $25 fee.
      These disputes have resulted in a total outstanding balance of $121.90.
      Your complaint indicates that payment has been sent. However, our ******************************** has not yet received it. If you have any tracking information or confirmation details, please share them with us to help expedite the reinstatement process for your grandsons deposit privileges.
      If you have any additional questions or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. We value your choice in Access Corrections and appreciate your business.

      On 5/26/25 I made a deposit to the benefit of ******* Hunter *******, incarcerated in the Arkansas DOC system. I have the receipt as uploaded, for $156.75, $150.00 which should have gone to Mr. ******** It is now 5/29/25 and is still not showing on his account. There is a stated 48 hour timeframe which has been far exceeded. When I have called to talk about this, I have been left on hold for over 1 hour each time. As of today, Mr. ******* has still not received his funds and it is causing him to miss a certification enrollment opportunity. I expect a full refund immediately and investigation into this company as being fraudulent in their representations. Thank you.

      April 7th 2025 I deposited money on my son's commissary account in Frederick ******** as I was told to do so with a company called SMART DEPOSIT, **************** . I check my bank statements frequently and noticed a charge I did not recognize - Access SecurePak online services. I called my bank that contacted the fraud ***** to and get more information. There was no phone # listed to call this company. It came back as "foreign currency" So my bank shut my card down and issued me a credit. Fast forward, this company works under several different names. I was never informed that it would appear under any other name than smart deposit. Once I clarified that this was a correct charge I immediately called the bank who has reveresed this ************ continues to want $25.00 when they are not at all transparent with how they conduct business. I have been on the phone MULTIPLE TIMES last week with MULTIPLE PEOPLE trying to get this straightened out. One customer svc. *** told me this happens all the time. ************ goes by 3 different names and scams families out of money. I have asked multiple times to clear this up and explained to them that as it appeared on my statement was not the company I did business with online. They have made it impossible to clear up and when they don't like what you say, they just hang up on you. My son is in a detention center and cannot get needed supplies because this company has frozen his account. ************ is purposely taking money from families. Even if you pay the $25.00 "fee" it takes 6 weeks to reinstate the account. We have NEVER had to deal with this before. SMART DEPOSIT, ACCESS SECUREPAK NEED TO BE TRANSPARENT AS TO WHAT NAME THEY ARE CONDUCTING BUSINESS UNDER. If they had I would have NEVER questioned the charge on my bank statement. This was an honest misunderstanding on my part and I cleared it up as soon as it was recognized but they are impossible to work with.

      Dear ***** *******,


      We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience youve experienced and appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns. Your satisfaction is important to us.
      We understand your concern involves a transaction made on April 7, 2025,in which a deposit you submitted through the Smart Deposit service appeared on your financial statement as Access Securepak online services. As a result, you disputed the charge with your bank.


      This dispute led to a chargeback for Access Corrections on April *******, amounting to $159.95, along with a $25 reinstatement fee imposed by the bank. This brought the outstanding balance to $184.95. Upon further review, you recognized the charge as legitimate and requested your bank reverse the chargeback, which we have since received.
      During our conversation on May 8, 2025, we extended our apologies for the inconvenience and advised that, as a one-time courtesy, we would waive the reinstatement fee.
      Should you require further assistance or clarification, please do not hesitate to reach out. We value your choice in Access Corrections and appreciate your business.

      I deposited $100.00 into my sons commissary account on 04/24/2025 at ********************** in **********, *****. Only to find out it went into another inmates account. I don't know how that happened because I swiped my driver license, and put my address and my sons name came up and I clicked, and I deposit the the cash. My son called and said did I deposit the money and I told him yes. He said it wasn't showing up, so I looked at my receipt and it show someone else. I called the number to on the receipt to have them put it on the right account. They told me they couldn't it was my fault for putting it into the wrong account. Mind you I spoke to 6 people and they all told me the same thing. There isn't anything they could do, so basically i lost $100.00 they said yes. They told me to call **********************, They told me I needed to call the company on my receipt. I find it hard they can't do anything. They went into my account and saw I made the cash deposit, but they don't want to anything about it. Unbelievable such a scam!! I will file with other government agencies this shouldn't be allowed!!

      Money I deposited on my son's account went into another inmates account, and when I called the company on the receipt they told me the jail where my son is needs to refund that they don't do refunds. They told me it was my fault for putting into the wrong account. Which I didn't put into the wrong account. Their machine did the mistake not me. They don't want to take responsibility for their machine. I called the jail where my is at and they said to call the number on the receipt I feel like I'm getting the runaround from both parties. I work hard for my money just to let them say tell me I can't get my money back. I just want them to put it on the right account. The receipt I attached to this email is the wrong person I don't even know who that is.

      Dear **** *******,
      We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience youve experienced and appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns. Your satisfaction is important to us.
      We understand your concern involves a transaction made on April 24, 2025,in which a deposit intended for your son was mistakenly sent to a different recipient. After a thorough review of your account, our records confirm the transaction was indeed directed to a recipient other than the one youve previously deposited to.
      Unfortunately, once funds are deposited to a recipient at a facility, we no longer have access to them and are unable to retrieve or redirect the funds.That said, while this is not typically within our policy, we are willing to make an exception in this case. Please allow a few weeks for the check to be processed and mailed to the address we have on file.
      If you have any further questions or concerns, please dont hesitate to reach out. We appreciate your business and thank you for choosing Access Corrections.

This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
