Overdraft, savings or rewards features

Prepaid card: Government benefit payment card


Complaint: This is prepaid card. I use it to avoid overdrafts and fees and no longer use checking accounts to prevent overdraft issues.I checked my statement on XXXX and had an available balance of XXXX I went to ATM to get cash to pay bills. Today I check to see my balance and it is XXXX overlimit. I immediately called customer service who informed me that " pending transactions/holds '' were released because the merchant did n't submit the charge and that was why I had an available balance, but today they resubmitted the charge. I asked why they " paid '' this transaction knowing I did n't have the money and causing an overdraft and overlimit o XXXX on my account. My understanding with my previous account was that if I did not " opt in '' to approve charges to be paid and cause my account to be negative they could n't go through or be paid. It is the whole reason why I chose a prepaid debit card, you can only use what you have available and other transactions will not go through because you do n't have the funds. But this place decided against me and paid the vendor. I would have dealt with the bill not being paid if it did n't go through and never asked them topay this to overdraft my account. They old me they paid it because I owed the company money who put the charge through, that is not their decision to make. I have ever heard of a debit card especially a prepaid debit card company saying " you owed the company on this bill, so we paid it '' many times I did n't have money available in my account and never id a credit card, bank card tell me they paid the bill cause I owed it no matter if it overdrafted my account. They abused their authority and neglected mine by allowing my account to overdraft for XXXX.

Complaint: Dear CFPB, On XXXX XXXX, 2016, I went to the Comerica Branch in XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX to close my individual account. A couple of months later I noticed funds had been withdrawn from a different joint account on which I am a signer. It turns out the Comerica Branch in XXXX XXXX did not properly close my account on XXXX XXXX, and as a result, I was incorrectly charged inactivity fees, which then turned into overdraft fees as the account dropped below {$0.00}. This negative balance was then automatically pulled from the joint account. I went to the XXXX XXXX Branch where I closed my account in an attempt to resolve the issue. The manager there told me to contact the branch in Texas where I had originally opened my account. I have been sent back and forth with no resolution. Comerica owes me {$50.00} as a result of being charged inactivity and overdraft fees due to their error. I have patiently worked with them to no avail and request the assistance of the CFPB in finally resolving this simple matter. Regards, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint: On XXXX XXXX I was unable to access the funds on my credit card issued by This was n't the first time this has happened to me. Several times I attempted to gain some assistance from the credit card company issuing me the card. On every attempt either the website was not available, or the phone. The phone number listed for Customer Services is a recording and never answered by a human. If it is n't busy the recording invited me to call back later. I was advised by the FDIC to call the bank, Comerica. I did and I spoke with a man who told me that the banks participation is only because the bank provided the plastic for the card even though the bank is listed prominently on the face of the card. The funds, I was told, are not insured. I immediately requested to speak with a supervisor who gave me the number for corporate affairs who she said handled such questions. The question I had was : is the bank affiliated financially with Direct Express. My complaint is my money safe, why ca n't I speak about my concerns, and is there a financial relationship between the card company and the bank? Thanks XXXX XXXX XXXX

I called direct express the automated line to see why I had no money left. I ended up talking to a very helpful clerk who very patiently found 3 problems on my account. 1 XXXX company 's were continuing charging me when I had cancelled the services 3 days after signing up on line. So at first the clerk thought we were just dealing with a one month issue.however she took it upon herself to check back and it turns out they have been charging for services I have not received .I had cancelled The clerk opened two tracking numbers then had to cancel them and finially told me to just write it up and send to them. And I need to get the cancellation date and the confirmation number as well. Ok I have done that I have been cking monthly with direct express. What I was told today after I had given them my SS birthdate address phone number to the XXXX person I talked .this had to be done everytime. So why am I not recueving any notification in these as to what 's happening? 2 I was told it was past time they were all closed and I could only go forward with the XXXX charge as I waited to long to do anything. All three company 's started this charging in XXXX. The rep and I on the very first one filed for all XXXX comoanys.
