Pockit have blocked access to my account & funds!!!

1
I have had a pockit account since the company started operating. I rarely use the account and only do so in rare circumstances. I however stupidly decided to open an additional card on my account for my brother who is abroad and is disabled so I could help him out during this lockdown. The horrible people at pockit then decided to lock my account with over £1,300 pounds in it and the account has been locked down for almost two months now and despite calling them very few days and sending emails every few days for the last 7 weeks no one picks up the phone or replies to my emails!! Meanwhile they are using my money for their own purposes and cash flow meanwhile I and my family are suffering without access to our funds which are desperately needed at this time! It is disgusting what they are doing to customers and I have already complained to the financial ombudsman service about the company yet nothing happens! I am also concerned by the fact that your funds are not protected by the financial services compensation scheme which means that if they go bust during this crisis then all customers will loose their money! If you have any money with these guys I would suggest you move it out and if you are considering opening a pockit account I would suggest you DO NOT do so!! Awful and heartless company!!

they will steal your money

1
i thought pockit was safe but it turns out there not ,after receiving some money from a bike crash I thought I would treat my and my wife to some new things by putting money onto the card o.k more than I normally would and then they freeze my account and take £600.and then send a email a later asking for photo id driving licence and so on ,I don't drive and don't have a passport so what am I supposed to do ...feels like they have looked for a opportunity to take money,emails are pointless and don't get me going about the phone lines ,if you don't want me to be one of your customers please send me a cheque for the money you have taken ,there are plenty other prepaid cards out there ..ive already taken some advice and will be dealing accordingly it says you can have up to £5000 a month but if you do they will stop your card and hold your money they contact you by email then ignore you ,Talking to you Carlos...for god sake people if they have done this to you open a case on Resolver.co.uk I know of a few hundred people who already have ,if we all work together we can get these people closed down ,and maybe a few in jail Reviewed on: 19th May 2020
