I am writing this letter in regards to H32333130**3734313136H of **************, MO preying on the innocent people of the public, as well as those of us who are incarcerated. I just recently had a food package ordered from Access and it was one of the worst packages of food that I have ever received from them. I liked Access a lot for their food items and their specials, or "promos" on the food selections. My friends would always order my birthday food box from Access every year. Well, this year Access really screwed up big time. I only got some of the items that I had on my order form, and I never ask for substitutes on any of my items requested. My friend ******* ****** of ******, ** ordered this box on 5/28/25 and it was to be shipped, or processed on 6/2/25. Instead Access kept my package and told **** that they needed to "investigate" my order, and kept **** on hold over the phone for more than 3 hours of 2 phone calls, refusing to help him, or let him speak to an Access supervisor. According to the Access Invoice (enclosed). This package was shipped on June 24, 2025 and backdated saying that it was ordered on 6/21/25. I got this package on 6/27/25 from our package room here at ****************** (*********, ****). I never got any of the promo specials or the free and discounted items that were on my requested list (see their invoice and my actual order form that is enclosed). I sincerely believe that Access needs to be held accountable for their predatory schemes and a full refund returned to ******* ****** who ordered this for me. I will never order another package from Access, and I will let the people here and their families know what kind of scam that Access is pulling on the innocent people of the public and those that are incarcerated. I have also sent a letter to the ************************************** along with a letter to Access.

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.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience youve experienced and appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns.
We understand that your inquiry pertains to an attempt to use our services during which you received an error message. Additionally, you are requesting a refund in the amount of $10.76.
After a thorough review of your account, we confirmed that the error occurred because your account requires further verification. A member of our team attempted to reach you on June 20, 2025, to complete this verification;however, there was no answer, and we were unable to leave a voicemail.
Regarding your refund request, we were able to locate the attempted transaction, but our records show that the payment was denied by the payment processor and the funds were never collected. We recommend contacting your financial institution to confirm that the transaction was not completed and no funds were withdrawn.
We hope this information helps clarify the issue. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please dont hesitate to reach out. We value your business and thank you for choosing Access Corrections.

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.
Business Response
Date: 05/09/2025
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.
