      On February 28th, my SSI check of ******* dollars was deposited into my account. As soon as the deposit was made, someone withdrew ******* dollars. For the first time in a year, there was no alerts sent. So i kept check my account, but there was nothing. So i went to social securty, where i was told that my information was updated. What for i had do idea, because it wasn't me. So i called nexscard, I was told that someone withdrew the ******* dollars and brought some items. Not know he didn't file a complaint, until i called the follow ( which was the fiftenth of march). So sat (23rd)i recieved a letter nexscard stating. That there investigation was not their error. So no funds will be returned. Without any explanation the mater was closed. I'm a senior citizen on SSI, which is my only source of income. Where as i can't pay my rent or anything else. I need help finding who took my money and why im not intitled to get it back. Thanking you in advance, ***********************

      The customer had filed a claim for an unauthorized charge to her account which has been finalized. We spoke with the cardholder March 24, 2024 and the documents received from the merchant were emailed to the cardholder. The customer was also advised an appeal may be filed if additional information is provided. We consider this complaint closed.

      I attempted to make a purchase at Gamestop and the transaction did not go through... yet my Nexscard was debited for $242.69. I contacted Nexscard customer service to resolve this issue. Unfortunately I was given misinformation so i called back to ask for a supervisor... i was told one was not available. so i called back and reached one of the rudest people ever. He claimed his name was ****. I say "claimed"... Based on the fact that I called back today and he gave me a different name. I knew it was him because of the same unprofessional uptight rude attitude. Fortunately I record my calls. He is basically telling me I am not getting my money back because it has already been refunded... even though it shows on my account as still pending. So he says... "I can just go ahead and remove that." I am not sure if he is the last point of contact... but I am currently out of $242.69 on Christmas eve. which means it has caused me an undue financial hardship. I have used Nexscard for years for my direct deposit of my Military benefits. The first time I needed to call... this is what I deal with. So of course they lost my business. I would like my money returned to my account so I can close it and move on. I really tried to avoid contacting the BBB and the military fraud department. But after today's interaction... I have been left with no other resource. I am a disabled veteran and I need my money. This guy is beyond rude and unprofessional. I will never use Nexscard again and would discourage anyone who would even consider using their service.

      I believe one of my old phones was stolen, containing all my information and was used to purchase from ****** play. I was at work when i received the text from my card . As soon as I got home I called them and told them the charges were not mine, and they said they couldn't do anything until the charges went through, they canceled my card and sent me a new one. Now they won't refund the money because all the information matches. Of course it does it was one of my old phones with all my information

      [Your Answer Here]

       I did not make these purchases. I am Nexs to cancel them as soon as I got a break at work to check my phone. I was told they could not cancel them.... I don't understand why I can not get my money back.  Some of the charges, show they were international,  I'm in ************.  Also it shows a phone was connected to mine in *****... I was told by **** that the information that ****** had matched mine. It did because one of my old phones that still had all my apps and emails was stolen. Also ******** stars was purchased and I the one screenshot it shows that I've never purchases ******** stars. I don't know what more I could do to prove it was not me or authorized by me. I'm a single mother with a 11 year old daughter. I was paid Friday and by Friday evening I went from $580 to $56, while I was at work. This is not the first time my Nexs card was hacked, I believe Nexs should do there own investigation,  not go off what ****** said. Because they denied my refund. I really need that monet back. I would not blow all my money in a matter of hours, if you look at my pervious purchases from ******. They have never been that amount of money. It's always smaller. Just to finish a level on a game. My daughter birthday was Oct 10 and she got nothing and her father just died 3 months ago. I'm struggling as it is and then for someone to use my money and for yoy not to refund me is ridiculous

      We provided ************** with a statement and also provided guidance on how to review transactions using our mobile application as well as on the Avid website. We note that all of the transactions that ************** deemed were missing when she reviewed the mobile application were present and visible on the statement that we provided. Additionally, our mobile application displays "Pending Transactions" at the upper portion of the Transaction History page. In the screenshots that ****************** submitted as an accompaniment to her complaint, we note that this Pending Transactions section was omitted. In the future, should ************** encounter a similar concern, we encourage her to scroll up on her mobile device to identify any pending transactions. During our phone conversation with **************, we inquired as to her understanding of our statements and transaction history as well as if she identified all of the transactions that she originally deemed as missing.  ************** acknowledged the transactions were authorized by her and confirmed that all of the transactions on her statement were correct, accurate and complete. We consider this matter closed.

      I called Avid prepaid card and let them know about my card being lost/stolen. The representative started a dispute process I faxed the paperwork over January 2 2023. I called them January 13th to check the status of the dispute the representative told me it was still in process and I should hear something by Monday January 16 2023. Today I went to check my mailbox and I had a letter dated January 11th from them stating they denied my claim. I have no understanding when they representative told me it was still under process. They didnt even bother investigating they denied my claim in 7 days. Im facing financial hardship and on disability and that was money I saved up. I put that money on a card until we came up with the rest to get my son that passed away a headstone for his gravesite. Now I have nothing and they are not doing their job to correct what was taking from me. If I have to I will contact an attorney for this matter because I cant take another loss.

      I reached out to avid about my friend stealing my phone which Im guessing she stole my card also. The representative was being very rude and nasty when i was explaining to her the situation. So I called back gotten the same lady she basically said go over the transactions and fill out the forms and send them over. Now Ive gotten a letter saying they are closing my account because someone stolen my money. At this point I dont care what actions they want to take I know my money better get reimbursed and my card better not get shut off until I walk into the branch and take my money off they owe me. They are a rigged up company and they let people steal from you and dont care.
