I'm going to make this as short as possible.
I closed my account with NetSpend back in July 2023. A check with 3600.00 was too be sent to me since that's how much I had on the debit card. I was told the check would be issued July 8th which it was supposedly done. However after waiting 15 business days for it to arrive they finally said they would reissue it. So I have been waiting since July 24 for then to reissue another check so they keep saying is that their back office is working on it. They give me so many excuses. This has been since July and no money has been returned.
Desired outcome: I would like my money to be electronically transferred or even a check to be issued and sent out.
This is [censored]! It's NOT restricted at all . I emailed social@netspend.com and have not heard anything from them. I'm contacting the federal trade commission to help me with this

Netspend skylight one
Net spend has closed my account due to “suspicious activity”, and does not want to refund my money. This is the second time my account was hacked at a seven eleven. The first time my money was fully refunded and now this time net spend closed my account. Scammers were able to take out $900 from my account at a seven eleven and net spend decided it was a suspicious activity and do not want to further the investigation and just closed my account. This is ridiculous. For them to allow scammers withdraw other people’s money and nothing is to be done by them.
Desired outcome: I would like my money fully refunded.

Netspend card
I never asked for a netspend account. I never asked for a netspend card. But I received one in the mail today.
How DARE you open an account in MY NAME and send me a card unsolicited! What if someone had stolen this from my mailbox and proceeded to commit identity theft fraud with it?
I will be filing a complaint with my state Attorney General's office, the Federal Trade Commission and the Better Business Bureau. You should be locked up.
Desired outcome: Drop dead and never do this again.
Please MARK THIS COMPLAINT RESOLVED and disregard this complaint. I thought Netspend had opened this account and sent it to me without authorization. This account was opened with Netspend for me BY A THIRD-PARTY to issue a settlement to me in regards to a class action lawsuit in which I was one of the parties.

No they're not. Netspend keeps it secret because that's Netspend's "go to" reason to commit fraud themselves. They blame the fraud on the consumers so that they can steal their money.
It's also a method that they can data mine even more personal and financial information from you, which is ILLEGAL. The FTC says that Netspend upon request from ANY consumer to unblock, give access to or anything else HAS to comply with that request IMMEDIATELY.
The FTC also says that Netspend is suppose to REPORT EVERY COMPLAINT from ANY AND ALL consumers that can not access their funds or have restricted accounts in any way to the FTC AND THE BBB as well as give consumers contact information for the FTC upon complaining about not being able to access your funds, account, or personal/financial data.
Here is the full PERMANENT injunction:

Hired professional services users override policy and Ethics rules and experiment required. Absolutely tried to keep c home and retain my composure elements.

The representative failed to solve my problems and encouraged coworkers around him to continue on disrespecting and misusing company policies.

Debit card transaction claim denied
A while back ago, my broken phone was in my pocket and before I knew it I had purchased a $100 package on a game I was playing from the Google Play store. When I first contacted Netspend, they recommended that I contact Google Play and the merchant first. So I did and neither one of them could reversed the transaction, even though I never use any of the credits that were granted to my account. So then I contacted NetSpend and explain to them that I unintentionally was charged for this credit that I never wanted nor used. And as of now they denied my claim so I guess I'm stuck with $100 charge that I never wanted to begin with nor that I ever used. That's not right nor is it fair. I tried to do everything that that's been had asked me and they can investigate it because it was never used. And right now where I'm at in my life I cannot afford to take this kind of loss. I just want my $100 back.
Desired outcome: My account credited/ refunded for the transaction I never intentionally made

Unauthorized charge dispute, grossly negligent result.
I filed a dispute with Netspend 3/28/23 regarding 300$ that was charged to my card without my permission, by a hotel I was no longer staying at when the charge was made. I provided documentation showing I had rented and paid for a different hotel room on the date the previous hotel charged 300. I provided a copy of a letter from the previous hotel stating I had to move out of my room 4 days I believe before the 300 was charged to my card and I clearly explained that the reason for me moving was because the hotel had refunded money to my card that was never charged and then added it to my bill as well as other billing errors. After complaining I was asked to leave. I also provided Netspend documentation showing the refund and mismanagement of my card. Clear proof the 300 was not authorized but fraudulent. I argued with a customer service agent due to poor customer service. I was given a 300 provisional credit. On 6/30 the credit was deducted once again from my account and investigation closed in favor for hotel. After viewing the investigation documentation submitted by the hotel to Netspend on 4/24/23, It was blatantly clear that either the investigation was never done or the investigator didn't read the documentation that said I paid cash and only provided a check in signature that was also fraudulent, but stating I check out February. The charge was made in March. There was nothing to show justification for the 300 charge. Netspend received those documents 4/24/23 but then waited until the end of June to close the investigation in favor of the hotel that provided no evidence to support the fraudulent 300 charge, infact showing it was fraudulent since the statement they provided said I check out February, charge made the middle of March after I had already relocated. Netspend not only allowed my card to be fraudulently charged 300 but then they clearly did no investigation and disregarded all of the documentation I provided . Netspend also chose to wait till the end of June to close the investigation even though the documentation they supposedly used to base the ridiculously negligent decision in favor of the hotel who stole my money was sent to Netspend 4/24/23.
Desired outcome: I want my money back. I will include documents to show all of what I have said is true.
