Pockit Account reviews (570)

Pockit's actions goes from bad to terrible!! Avoid Pockit

1
I wrote a terrible review about this horrible company that has decided to block my account with over £1,300 pounds in my account a few weeks ago. I wish I could say that I am writing again to recant my previews review but sadly this is not the case. Things have only gotten worse and now more than two months after my account was blocked by Pockit - despite me having provided all the requested information supposedly required to un-block the account still nothing has happened. In facts things are worse now because Pockit actively hang up on any calls you try to make to their call center despite doing so within their new reduced calling/opening times!! So in essence they are refusing to speak to any of their customers! To make matters worse they also do not respond to emails and despite numerous request for a copy of their formal complaints handling procedure which they are required by law to provide along with a 'final letter' before one can formally complain to the Financial Ombudsman Service they are refusing to act and instead are trying to draw out the process and block customers ability to lodged formal complaints to the Financial Ombudsman Service by cleverly sending out 'one-liner' emails every few weeks in order to pretend to have a semblance of ongoing communications with their customers (me!) in the hope that when the financial regulator does take up the case they would be able to hide behind such useless and irrelevant correspondence to claim that they were trying to action customer complaints! This is highly unethical and irregular behavior and I would go as far as saying it is questionably illegal to. I stand convinced that Pockit is likely having financial problems and is seeking to utilize customer's funds to prop-up their ailing business and as I pointed out in my last review funds held in Pockit accounts are not covered by The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) which means that if Pockit goes under/bankrupt customers such as myself will loose all our monies held with the company. I am now also seeking avenues to take legal action against Pockit for damages caused as a result of their actions. I re-iterate: "if you have any funds held with Pockit then you should move them out to a safe, secure and reliable bank/financial service or simply withdraw the cash and if you are considering opening a Pockit account - DO NOT DO SO!!!

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

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
