Shame to this company

I literally fed up of this bank I literally fed up of this bank, there’s no contact number, no live chat and no emails reply. Last week Monday someone used my card and I’ve been contacting Pockit since. No one has come back to me yet. I’m discouraged to use this bank again because that’s actually bad costumer service. As soon as I sort out my situation, I will move all my funds to my other account and stop using Pockit account forever. Reviewed on: 5th October 2021

Stole my account over a year ago and deny that I even had one to the Financial Ombudsman...

I've no idea how these people are still trading. They froze my account in Sept 2020 and ignored all emails until I opened a Resolver case. Even then they just kept saying they could only deal with my email directly, even though they never responded to anything I sent. In April of this year I got an email stating that my account was being closed and to provide an account to send the money to. I did this and was told money has been sent. It hasn't been. Nothing received and ignoring all emails since. No proof of transfer etc or even an acknowledgment of receiving the emails etc. I got in touch with the Financial Ombudsman service and Pockit denied that I even had an account with them. Absolute scum. Pockit reply to any review saying that they have to comply with FCA rules etc but I don't know what rules state that you have to ignore every email a customer sends you for months on end. The fact that they no longer have a phoneline is a massive flag. Account number : 04057097 Reviewed on: 27th August 2021

THIEVES

NINE months they’ve with gels £1200 of my money. I’m a single mum of 2 young children and I’ve nearly lost my home because of this. Today, ALL OF MY MONEY HAS BEEN ILLEGALLY SENT TO AN ACCOUNT CALLED RTS! Who are these people???? How can we stop this? I’ve contacted FCA and FOS still nothing? My account is now at £0.00! I don’t know what to do anymore. Robbing vile scum. They’re leaving people in seriously shit situations. I’m very fortunate to have a brilliant support network who helped me financially, what happens when this is done to someone who doesn’t? Suicide at the hands of these people is close. Disgusting, vile and sick people. Reviewed on: 10th August 2021

I AM UNABLE TO ACCESS MY MONEY IN MY POCKIT ACCOUNT.

ONE STARS GIVEN, PURLY BECAUSE I CAN'T LEAVE MINUS STARS. FOR OVER 4 MONTHS I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO ACCESS MY MONEY IN MY POCKIT ACCOUNT. E-MAIL QUESTIONS TO POCKIT DO NOT RECEIVE CREDIBLE ANSWERS-IF THEY ANSWER AT ALL- AND NO TIME GIVEN AS TO WHEN MY ACCOUNT WILL BECOME AVAILABLE AGAIN. THEY ASK FOR PROOF OF MY VARIOUS DETAILS WHICH ARE ONLY STALLING METHODS TO AVOID DOING ANYTHING. WHY DOESN'T THE FINANCIAL OMBUDSMAN DO ANYTHING? THEY MUST HAVE THOUSANDS OF POCKIT CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE CONTACTED THEM WHO ARE IN THE SAME BOAT AS ME. THEY ARE STILL TAKING ON NEW CUSTOMERS, HOW CAN THIS BE WHEN THINGS ARE AS THEY ARE? THIS IS GOING TO END BADLY FOR THOUSANDS OF POCKIT CUSTOMERS. Reviewed on: 8th August 2021
