On - - 2015 my significant other passed away, he was a secondary card holder on my account as is my niece, I am the primary card holder. On - - 2015, Netspend who has my prepaid card sent me an email stating not to use my card until I call them and when I spoke to a CSR he said risk management closed my account due to a secondary card holder 's death. When I tried to explain that I was the primary, I was told that risk management closed it and it was n't reversible. I made a complaint with the - and Netspend responded with anytime there is a death with a primary or secondary card holder the account is closed '' per their terms yet I could not find anything about death of card holders except that the - card holder is responsible for the - card holder card use. The CSR told me


to explain to him that my payroll checks and my significant others checks still go to that account ( I 'm entitled to payments from his various holdings as his beneficiary ) again I was told they could open a new account for me and because of this my checks from his accounts have been put on hold for verification. After I contacted - and the company contacted them I received a phone call from a - - and he left a message stating he was in the office until - CST I retuned his call at - CST time and he was not in his office, then I emailed him and told him and the - that I would be contacting you, he has not called or emailed since I first emailed and called him.I do n't feel that they should have closed my account and at best they should have contacted me so that I may explain why his name was n't remove from my account, but know they closed it then contacted me
