Hello Thomas Moloney ‪119534319‬ I have had my pockit account restricted for over 6 weeks and been waiting over 5 weeks for a response from pockit regarding my account, as its still restricted, The stress of my account being restricted and not being able to access any of my dwp payments has really affected me I am unable to pay my rent or buy food to support myself this has been going on for over 6 weeks,

I receive a email 6 weeks later last Friday stating they have closed my account and said they have returned my funds to the source but after speaking to the DWP my money hasn't been returned its been 7 days since the email so I don't know where my money has gone, this is causing me so many issues with my mental health and money problems, I am know now in rent arrears and struggling to eat because they have kept hold of my sick benefits payments and housing benefit.

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.

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.

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.

Opened an account a couple of weeks ago. I set up my new business a month ago and have a separate business account, i thought I would use Pockit to pay myself from the business account. I sent £50 to my Pockit account, then sent £100 and they have restricted my account. Starting out in business is hard enough but for them to do this is disgusting. I have sent ALL the info and documents they requested on the 20th July and heard nothing back and my account is still restricted and they still have my money. Outraged that Pockit are allowed to behave this way and reading some of the other reviews where people cant pay rent and have tried to commit suicide is unbelievable! Pockit - what the hell are you doing ?
