Tracey,

The refunds that were successfully processed on this account went to the credit card ending in x3824.  It appears that the card the customer was upset about being charged on was x2881.  Ive refunded three $57 charges to that card directly through the processor.  The refunds should post to her account within a few days.  I can not assist with the overdraft fees.

Regards,

Dallas

IT HAS BEEN OVER 48 HOURS AND I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM ANYONE CONCERNING THE UNAUTHORIZED DEBIT (3 TIMES) OF MY BANK ACCOUNT. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD RECEIVE A CALL BACK FROM THE SUPERVISOR, JUSTIN #632792 WITHIN 30 MINUTES. TO DATE, MY BANK ACCOUNT IS NOW NEGATIVE (-) 53.43!!! I AM STILL WAITING FOR YOU TO CREDIT MY ACCOUNT FOR ALL 3 TRANSACTIONS!!!!!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Me Subject: Unauthorized Debit of Bank Account for Phone Number: To: hq@virginmobileusa.com Date: Monday, September 21, 2009, 2:28 PM In checking my bank account today, I noticed that there were 3 debit transactions in the amount of $57.00 each. Immediately, I called Virgin Mobile 800 number to speak to a customer service rep (CSR). After a couple of minutes of research, she told me that my credit card was automatically debited for the monthly charge. I explained to her that I called customer service last month and requested that my credit card be removed from the account due to the automatic debits. Also, I explained that another credit card was given to customer service and should have been charged instead of my card. The CSR went on to tell me that my credit card was still active on the account. She stated that there was a credit to my card since there were 2 debits from my card. I explained to her that there are 3 debits pending on my bank account today. When these 3 Virgin Mobile debit transactions hit my account, there was a balance of approximately $94.00. With the 3 debit transactions of $57.00, it brings my bank account to a NEGATIVE - $76.00. This means that I will have to pay an overdrawn account fee as well as pay for any returned checks that were written on my account within the last couple of days. I asked to speak to a supervisor/manager and was told that I would not be transferred to one. I continued to explain how this is NEGATIVELY affecting my account standing with the bank as well as my family's lively-hood. The CSR put me on hold and then hung up the phone. I called back and spoke to a CSR named Alicia. She was much more understanding and helpful. I gave her the same information and she did her research. She explained that there was a credit given to the wrong credit card. I was on the phone with the 2nd CSR for almost 45 minutes before a supervisor/manager was available. The supervisor's name is Justin, #632792. He was brought up-to-speed on the situation and said to give him 20 minutes and he would call me back about the situation. He also asked for a fax number to my bank so that he could send some information over to the bank so that I would not be charged for an overdrawn account. I asked him - once he completes his research and finds that there is in fact 3 debits to my account, will there be a credit to my account for all 3 debit transactions and he said yes. It has been approximately 1.5 hours and I have not heard from him at all. This entire situation is a customer's worst nightmare!! Taking this money out of my account is taking food off of my table to feed my family. I am UNEMPLOYED.....Due to this situation, I do not have the funds to buy my kids food nor do I have gas money. What am I supposed to do for 3-4 days while I wait for you to CREDIT my account????
