Sub-product: General-purpose prepaid card
Issue: Unexpected or other fees

Complaint:
Starting on XX/XX/2021 my Paypal prepaid card was stolen and was being used without my consent. On that same day I was XXXX in the XXXX county XXXX  in North Dakota. On or around the XXXX of XXXX I had my daughter call and suspend or cancel this card and every other card I have. I would have done that sooner, but I had no means of doing so. Then without my knowledge and definitely not my approval another card was reissued in my name possibly by the person who took the first card. The first and only card I ever was issued from Paypal prepaid was stolen out of my vehicle along with my vehicle shortly after being arrested. So every transaction starting that day to the day I was released was not made by me for me or to my knowledge on XX/XX/XXXX. I contacted NetSpend dispute center to notify them of all the info I had at the time. Most of which I seen thru my emails. I tried to have them understand that all those transactions weren't mine to much confusion on their part. They only understood three transactions and refunded me {$290.00} in XXXX leaving me short {$1700.00}. So then I filed another complaint and after a lengthy investigation I was found liable for charges I didn't make. I found that out by calling them on XX/XX/XXXX. I did everything asked of me and was very proactive by disclosing all the pertinent information I could in a timely manner. Also sent a couple faxes for whatever reason. I just can't believe they treated me so poorly. Being stripped of my money and being treated like I spent all my money while behind bars was very rude. I still haven't received any more money other than the {$290.00}. This money I had was my state and federal unemployment.
