Complaint:
I CALLED SIMPLE BANK ON TUESDAY XXXX  XXXX  AND SPOKE TO CUSTOMER SERVICE REGARDING NUMEROUS TRANSACTIONS IN VARYING AMOUNTS THAT ARE BEING WITHDRAWN FROM MY ACCOUNT ON A DAILY BASIS. I DO NOT KNOW WHY THIS COMPANY HAS WITHDRAWN FUNDS FROM MY CHECKING ACCOUNT FOR SEVERAL MONTHS ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS. I FOUND THEIR WEBSITE APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS AGO AND TRIED TO FIND A CONTACT NUMBER FOR THEM. THERE IS NO WAY OF REACHING THEM BY PHONE, HOWEVER, I CONTACTED THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE VIA EMAIL AND DEMANDED THEY STOP TAKING MONEY FROM MY ACCOUNT AND THAT THEY RETURN THE MONEY ALREADY WITHDRAWN IMMEDIATELY. I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM THEM AND THEY CONTINUE TO DEPLETE MY FUNDS REGULARLY. THEIR WEBSITE SAYS THEY HAVE TAKEN THE MONEY OUT AND PLACED IN A SAVINGS ACCOUNT SOMEWHERE AND THAT IT IS FDIC INSURED BUT I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE MONEY IS, I CAN NOT REACH THE COMPANY AND I WANT ALL {$370.00} BACK IN MY ACCOUNT IMMEDIATELY!!! I EXPRESSED TO THE SIMPLE REP LAST WEEK THAT I NEEDED THIS HANDLED IMMEDIATELY YET IT TOOK OVER TWO WEEKS TO HEAR BACK FROM SIMPLE 'S DISPUTE DEPT, THEY NEVER CALLED TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS OR ANYTHING AND THEN ON XX/XX/18 I RECEIVED A MESSAGE FROM THEM STATING NO ERROR OCCURRED AND THEY WERE DENYING MY DISPUTE. I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT STOP THE TRANSACTIONS BECAUSE THEY WERE OF " VARYING AMOUNTS ''???? THE FUNDS HAVE NOT BEEN CREDITED BACK TO MY ACCOUNT BY THE COMPANY EITHER, INSTEAD, MORE MONEY HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN UNTIL I HAVE ONLY {$1.00} IN MY ACCOUNT. I DEMAND A CREDIT IMMEDIATELY IN THE AMOUNT OF {$370.00} AND I WANT THESE WITHDRAWALS TO STOP PERMANENTLY. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH DISPUTES IN THE PAST AND I AM NOT WILLING TO WAIT MONTHS AND MONTHS LIKE BEFORE TO GET MY MONEY BACK. I AM ELDERLY AND LIVE ON A FIXED INCOME SO TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. XXXX XXXX WEBSITE IS XXXX XXXX XXXX THIS WAS COPIED AND PASTED FROM THEIR WEBSITE : " Do I need a savings account?
