My account has been frozen since 7/6/20, for no reason at all, as far as I know.

They did not contact me to let me know why they were freezing my account, I found out by trying to buy groceries and my card being declined for “unauthorized use”.

I knew there was over $600 in my account, so it wasn’t insufficient funds.

Called next morning and they can’t tell me why this is happening, but they “escalated” my issue and said I would get a call back in 24-72 hours...it’s been 10 days and no call.

I’ve called 2 more times, where I actually spoke to someone, but nothing happens!

Funny thing is that they are allowing deposits to be made, only because they make money off the interest.

Tried calling again today at 3:30, but there offices were closed??

The message said they have recently…

They deposited a check that wasn't mine to my account and instead of rejecting it they accepted it and restricted my account.

Account now then asks me to send information but not all at once but piece by piece so they can hold your money even longer.

I've submitted all documents and I'm still being told they are under review.

This all started April 13,2020 and today is May 11,2020 and I still haven't received my money

Well my account was compromised on Feb.

27th 2020 and whole paycheck was taken when it was direct deposited and I've been trying to upload the paperwork to get the fraud investigation going but it's not letting me upload the paperwork because it's saying I'm not putting in the wrong account number and I'm not because I need my money I've been waiting.

Right before Christmas in 2019, I went to a Fred Meyer to load money onto my card.

I didn't know there was a delay between the load and funds being available.

I went to check the balance over the phone, but the menu system screwed up with not taking phone inputs immediately, and my card ended up getting cancelled.

I have sent documentation of current address AND my drivers license, but they refuse to issue a new card, and now I'm taking on late fees with my storage unit because I can't get it paid because I can't get to the money to pay it.

Because the actual account is locked, I can't move money to PayPal to get around this issue, either.

So now my money is being held hostage.

Account now... you will owe me $130+ when this is said and done.

The Customer Service Representative cancelled my card prematurely and then stated that I would have to pay $25 to have a new one expedited (3-days) or have them mail it out in regular mail, which would take 7-10 days.

I had funds that I needed access to in order to pay bills that was due but didn't have access to my funds due to the card being deactivated.

They would not help me in that matter, I was hung up on 3 times and got very frustrated because I kept asking for an actual Manager but kept getting transferred to a Supervisor who was no help at all.

They treated me like I was in the wrong for complaining for what she did and never held the representative accountable for what she had done.

Now I have to pay my bill LATE because my funds will not be accessible until I receive my new…

How is it that if file a dispute that you have the rite to block my card when i tell you not too because of things i have to do on Thursday when my payroll hits my account?

You shouldn't have the rite to block a costumer card if and when they request that you do not .

I need to get my car fix on Thursday and now i have know way of doing that.

So tell how will i get the kids to school, go to the store, doctors appointment????

You do not think for the consumer .

I need my card .

Then on top of that you want me to pay $30.

00 to replace my card for a $21.

64 dispute?

What since do that make?

There is NO CUSTOMER SERVICE through AccountNOW.

It's impossible to even speak to a Human because you can't get past the computer to even find out how to dispute a HOLD that is falsely taking money.

When attempting to file the claim as directed and the system REFUSES TO ACCEPT THE ACCOUNT NUMBER PROVIDED BY THE COMPUTER, there is nowhere to turn.

This is the 2nd time in 2 months I have lost money to this Card Vendor that I have run THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS THROUGH FOR YEARS.

I used to think AccountNow was a great source for paying bills, but no more.

I intend to spread the word to anyone and everyone I encounter to NEVER trust this company again.

I did a bill pay and your system duplicated it.

I called immediately on Monday 4/8/19.

The two bill pay was cancelled.

I was told it would take 24/72 hours to get this back on my account.

As of today 4/16/19 I still don't have this back on my account so that I can pay bills.

I keep getting the message from Customer Service that they haven't received an update as yet.

I work as an accountant and this is not the way you handle someone else's money.

I have called everyday and I get the same message.

I just don't understand.
