Consumer Narrative
A scam XXXX account took {$120.00} from my Direct Express debit card. This card is used by the government to deposit monthly social security benefits to recipients. The money was taken out on XX/XX/2021. I immediately contacted Direct Express, and all I have gotten is a run-around. They did not even bother taking a complaint or closing the card as is standard protocol. Today, XX/XX/2021, I called for the 9th or 10th time, and they finally took a report after I spent several hours on hold and talking to multiple people. They then told me that they will send out a questionnaire, which I need to complete and return before they can open an investigation, which they claim will take 45 days. This company is a habitual offender. They do everything to not refund money that is stolen from customers ' accounts. And some of the scammers might be working for the company. It is a shady company that must be investigated and audited for its handling of government funds and abuse of benefits recipients. DIRECT EXPRESS PHONE NUMBER : XXXX CLAIM N0. XXXX I want this money back, and this company investigated for their fraudulent practices.
