Checking or savings account· Managing an accountCA

ADP XXXX XXXX is preventing me from accessing my own XXXX ( k ) account due to a broken multi-factor authentication process. The phone number on file with my account is disconnected and is no longer in my possession. I have updated the account with a new number that should be the new XXXX method. I have attempted to reach the individual who now holds that number with no response and honestly who would respond to anyone asking for a phone code to an old phone number they used to have. I have contacted ADP XXXX XXXX multiple times through their standard support channel at XXXX. My employer has also attempted to resolve this on my behalf and has been unsuccessful. XXXX support has not offered any alternative identity verification path, including the notarized identity affidavit process that ADP maintains for situations where phone-based XXXX is unavailable.

Checking or savings account· Managing an accountNY

On XX/XX/year>, I initiated an ACH transfer from my Wisely/ADP account to a XXXX account. I made a clerical error by inputting the wrong account number. I contacted Wisely customer service and spoke with a supervisor to request an ACH Reversal due to incorrect recipient data, as permitted under NACHA rules. The bank refused to initiate the recovery process or investigate the error, failing to comply with my rights under Regulation E ( Electronic Fund Transfer Act ), which requires financial institutions to investigate reported errors in electronic fund transfers. I am requesting that Wisely contacts the receiving bank ( XXXX ) to recover the funds sent in error before they are withdrawn by an unintended recipient. Exact amount : {$1000.00} Report date : XX/XX/year> at XXXX XXXX Transaction ID : XXXX

I've never done business with this merchant, nor have I visited Michigan ; this is an unauthorized debit from my account.

Prepaid card· Problem with a purchase or transferTX

In XX/XX/year>, I placed XXXX orders totaling {$240.00} that I later canceled. The funds were deducted from my prepaid card but never returned, and the transactions disappeared from the account history, leaving my Available Balance short. I contacted the company multiple times : Chat support : They said nothing showing in the system. Phone support : A supervisor hung up on me when I asked for a resolution. Email to XXXX : I requested a manual release or backdated dispute/memo-post release and included proof of XXXX order cancellations. XXXX confirmed the orders were canceled and the funds should not have been charged. This is a ghost hold in the companys system, not an XXXX issue. Despite my repeated attempts, the funds have not been restored. I am requesting that the company manually release the {$240.00} immediately and provide confirmation of the release.

Credit card· Problem with a purchase shown on your statementMS

On XX/XX/2026, my card was physically stolen and used without my authorization to make several purchases. I did not authorize these transactions and I did not share my card or my information with anyone. When I realized the unauthorized purchases, I immediately reported the fraud to the card company. However, my claim was rejected even though I explained that my card had been stolen. The transactions were made in person without my permission. I asked for the case to be investigated again, but I did not receive a fair solution. I am filing this complaint because I believe that the company did not properly investigate the fraud and I need you to review my case and help me recover the money that was withdrawn from my account without my authorization

Checking or savings account· Problem with a lender or other company charging your accountIL

On XX/XX/year>, XXXX charges from XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX posted to my account in the amounts of {$20.00} and {$100.00}. I did not authorize these transactions and did not make these purchases. I disputed both charges promptly through Wisely, my bank, and fully cooperated with their dispute process. Despite this, Wisely later marked both disputes as closed and denied. I was not provided with a clear explanation or any evidence showing that these transactions were valid or authorized by me. Wisely did not share documentation such as a signed receipt, proof of delivery, or any verification tying these purchases to me. It appears the disputes were denied without a thorough or transparent investigation. I was also not provided provisional credit while the disputes were under review. As a result, I am being held responsible for {$120.00} in charges I did not make. I made good-faith efforts to resolve this directly with Wisely, but my concerns were dismissed without adequate justification.

I opened up a wisely by ADP card through my employer to receive my wages. On XX/XX/year> and XX/XX/year>, there were XXXX charges to my account of {$200.00} and XXXX failed attempt of {$200.00}. I only received a fraud alert after the XXXX attempt. My card was in my possession the entire time and I have never even been to the location of where my card was used. It says my card was used at an ATM in XXXX XXXX XXXX, NJ. They took a total of {$600.00} plus {$9.00} in ATM fees. I locked my card immediately and called wisely and all they did was send me a new card and begin the dispute process. They said it would take XXXX business days for me to receive my money. In addition, they told me they wouldn't even be including the {$9.00} ATM fees in the dispute which I found to be absurd because my card was clearly cloned and it's not my fault they took money out. The dispute process is very long and I can't wait this long to get my money back and wisely seems to not care at all.

Wisely card.service let someone take my entire check. They changed my password and username and also withdrew all my funds without notifying me with an email or text message.

While I was at home napping, I received a text alert on my phone on XX/XX/year>, that said {$240.00} had been taken out of an ATM, then another alert denying an attempt to take out {$100.00} right after the {$240.00}, then another alert denying an attempt to take {$60.00} out. I would never attempt to take out more than {$300.00}, because I know my card only allows {$300.00} to be taken out per day. As soon as I read these alerts I contacted the Wisely by ADP XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and reported fraud on my card.

Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service· Confusing or missing disclosuresVA

Received two checks from employer through Wisely, which need to be authenticated in order to be deposited. On the note the checks were attached to, it clearly indicates that these checks can be deposited or cashed free of charge. One check was successfully deposited, and the other, in the amount of {$1100.00} was returned on XXXX XXXX. Called Wisely for clarification, and was informed that Wisely checks can not be deposited, only cashed, despite the fact that one check had already been successfully deposited. This conflicting information resulted in {$450.00} in overdraft fees from my financial institution as well as {$40.00} from my place of residence, and further calls also resulted in more representatives claiming Wisely checks can not be deposited. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called and spoke to a supervisor who said Wisely checks can, in fact, be deposited, but that the check in question did not exist in their system.

On XX/XX/year>, my employer ( via ADP ) sent a payroll deposit to my Wisely account. The deposit was approximately {$2300.00} over Wiselys {$10000.00} load limit. ADP and my employer confirmed the deposit was successfully sent and not returned. However, Wisely placed the deposit on a compliance hold. Wisely never provided any written notice regarding this hold. I received no email, letter, or in-app notification explaining that my funds were being withheld, why they were being held, what documentation was required, or how long the review would take. This is the first issue. On XX/XX/year>, I called Wisely after noticing the funds were still missing. That was the first time I was told that a compliance hold existed. During that call, Wisely asked me to submit documents, which I did immediately. Despite submitting everything requested, I still have not received any written communication from Wisely explaining the hold, its reason, or its status.

The client approved XXXX XX/XX/XXXX at XX/XX/XXXXXXXX ( {$560.00} total ). After approval, they manually reduced the hours and added an unauthorized penalty with no published policy. XXXX ( ADP ) refused to correct it or escalate, and paid me only {$450.00}. I am owed the remaining {$100.00}. XXXX response : This is not a situation that meets the requirements set by the Escalation Team, and unfortunately, I can't escalate. We recommend that you seek outside counsel to determine the best way to handle this off-platform. The buyers own program has no written late/cancellation policy that allows a 20 % ( or any percentage ) penalty, and no mention whatsoever of penalties for canceling part or all of a multi-day assignment ( even with short notice ). There is no posted rule about committing to all days, no penalty schedule, and nothing disclosed before or after acceptance. Buyers can not invent penalties or manually override logged time on the fly that is strictly against XXXX rules.

I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction and lodge a formal complaint regarding an unauthorized reversal of funds related to an XXXX payment, compounded by misinformation received from your customer service representatives. On XX/XX/XXXX, I initiated an early payment of {$41.00} to XXXX, which was confirmed on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, a reversal payment of {$41.00} was processed, which I noticed on XX/XX/XXXX. Upon contacting XXXX, I was assured that the initial payment had been successfully completed. However, XXXX proceeded to deduct the funds on XX/XX/XXXX, effectively taking back money that was rightfully paid to XXXX. Furthermore, I have a recording of a XXXX representative confirming this unauthorized reversal. When I contacted the bank, I was misinformed that the reversal was due to insufficient funds, which contradicts both the XXXX confirmation and the XXXX representative 's statement.
