    I borrowed 215 from the dave app on march 28 with a payback date of 4/4. On 3/31 they withdrew the money without notice. They ignore me when I reach out. This is not the first time they have done this. Last month not only did they withdraw early, but they also withdrew on the actual date also. They charged me twice. When I called they said they did not see where I paid twice, but my bank gave me proof of the two transactions. I sent the proof to dave and they ignored me. I don't mind paying what I owe, but not twice. I want my money back.

    March 2025. A multi-part issue with the Dave digital banking app. I reported my physical debit card as lost/stolen earlier this month and requested to cancel the current card and replace the physical card. I waited well over a week but heard nothing from the company regarding shipping the card before getting in contact, I sought to replace the card on the app again fearing that the report did nothing. However, when I went to click, there was no option to replace the physical card. I reached out to the team and was told that the issue was being escalated however, they then attempted to close the ticket without further reaching out. I asked again to please send out a new card, and where the initially requested card was and they claimed that they had sent it but it had been rejected, however, there had been no notification regarding the mailing of said card. After requesting my license info, they finally sent out a new card but did not answer any of the questions I had posed. Now I need the physical card to be expedited in delivery in order to access my *********** addition, I had initially created an account in order to attempt to acquire the pay advance, however I had not been aware of the need to have a completely separate checking account and was under the impression that using a Dave account would allow for the advance to work, not the case.

    I tried to pay my loan to the cash advance Dave. Dave would not take my debit card, which is how you're supposed to pay. I called customer service customer service. Informed me to delete the card and read. Add it back to my account. Because it was the exact same card I've been using, but then they overdrew. My account through my bank account. But they never gave me any reason why my card was declined. I want answers please thank you.

    Dave app consistently overdrafts my account. They do everything in their power to not own up to their system falsely thinking I have money to give to them. They then tell me that it's not their fault. That I have to take it up with my bank because they allowed the overdraft to happen.

    I have been a Dave customer for over a year and have used day for cash advance/h Payday advances for that time recently I had a change in my linked bank account I transferred the money into my gave spend account then I transferred it out to a new external card when I tried to change my linked bank account it wouldn't let me because I had taken another advance so in order to pay the advance I had to deposit the money as cash back into my Dave account. At that point it no longer allowed me to link an external account so I called ********************** and support told me that after depositing the cash I should be able to link the account after I pay my advance so I did all of that and then they suspended my account with $800 in it that I am not able to access at all while they have their investigation we could take up to 90 days! I have sent them all the documents that they have requested verifying my identity and explaining what has been going on and I also spoke with numerous customer service Representatives throughout this process all of them reassuring me that it would be fine however they're telling me it could take up to 90 days and I have a car payment due plus I have my car insurance to pay and that's all the money that I have I put it all into Dave checking and it won't allow me to withdraw it at all or touch that money! It feels like robbery! There's no guarantee that I will ever see my $800 again because apparently according to their contract they reserve the right to withhold your funds however my deposit was Cash and somehow it doesn't seem right it's I can just take my money and for a big me to access it even my day card does not work! I am destitute I have nothing to eat no money to live on because I put all my availabilie money into Dave y like a fool because that's what they told me to do in order to establish a new external account because I've had a change in bank accounts I need help with this! I have nothing and I'm destitute now they're holding my funds
