      I have had four new cards in the last 6 months and they've all been compromised. I recently got a new card two months ago and I haven't changed any of my spending habits and someone got my card details and charged a purchase on my card again.

      I am a representative of ******** ************. We had an ADP Workforce account with ADP for payroll processing for numerous years. On 01/08/25, we terminated our account with ADP as we wanted to utilize another payroll processing service. ADP offered us "extended access", which would cost $300/month, which would allow us access to our payroll data history, which we declined. On 3/6/25, I called ADP to subscribe for the extended access. On 3/7/25, an ADP representative informed us that the ADP Termination Team has purged our data. Here is a letter from APD on 3/11/25: Re: *** **: *-*********** Dear ... I am reaching out regarding your request for Data History Termed Services Extended Access. Since you have already lost access to your account, we can't restore access to your account. Your account was terminated on 01/08/25 and you had 30 days from termination date to request Data History Termed Services extended access. Since the request for access was made on 03/07/2025 the access has already been lost. Sorry for the inconvenience. Client Services I have contacted ADP Clients Services and Elite Business Team, see email attachment, to get this matter resolved. Additionally, ADP is still randomly charging us without our authorization even though their representatives have not been able to assist and often times could not even pull up our account in their system. Here are the charges: 04/11/2025 11:29 AM (ET) PREAUTHORIZED ACH DEBIT ADP PAYROLL FEES/ADP FEES $778.50 03/14/2025 ************** PREAUTHORIZED ACH DEBIT ADP PAYROLL FEES/ADP FEES ************ ***************** CONS $260.00 I want our data restored and I want ADP to refund ******** ************ on the erroneous charges.

      Hey, a few years ago my employer insisted that they could only pay me with a Wisely Card, so I got the card. It was super annoying. I didn't ever get access to the online banking stuff for it and my employer was really unhelpful. However, I have since quit that job. At the time that I quit, my employer said the account would automatically close. However I have been getting emails about it since.Recently, I've been really wanting to cancel my account. I don't have the card anymore. I shredded it (for personal security reasons I don't like to have that stuff hanging around). I didn't want the account to begin with. It's kind of questionable whether or not I ever agreed to actually open it. Problem is... I can't find a way to contact them. There are phone numbers on the website and ONLY phone numbers. I'm partially deaf. I tried to call and it was just... gibberish. I couldn't understand a word. The phone captioning service I use, Innocaption, doesn't work with the numbers they provided. I have no idea why. I tried responding to the emails that they send about my account (which I think may have been hacked, but I have no way to check).I have no way to contact this company to close this stupid ************************* feels really dangerous to just have this account I can't close or access just... out there. So I need to get rid of it, but... nope. Nada. Nothing. I can provide ID and prove that it's me, but I need a way to communicate to customer *************************, also I think I was underage in my state when I signed up for this account. Age of majority in my state is not the same as Federal and my employer would only pay me if I did it this way... So my consent to this account being opened is kind of questionable. So I kind of I want to inform Wisely of this so that they can do due diligence when dealing with my former employer going forward.

      This company is a total scam!! Do not do business with them! They do not know what theyre doing. Im a new business owner so I decided to get ADP to help me with my payroll services to make sure I dont get into any serious issues with try IRS and they totally screwed my entire payrolll. They entered all my information incorrect. They didnt file the taxes and I have now been sent to collections. false advertisement that they say will handle everything and if they file incorrectly they will take care of the fees. They are liars and scammers. They avoid talking to you or fixing the issues. Everytime I call the supervisor avoid talking to me they will put me on hold for over 2 hours to the point I no longer have time to wait. If it was up to them they would keep me on hold 24hrs just to avoid talking to me. STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. And they keep increasing the prices on their payroll services without my permission. They enroll me in services I never agreed to getting. ******* my payroll services guy that got me to signed did the typical scam work where he lies and promises and does false advertising. This company is going to be sued really bad one day with all fhe false advertising they do

      My debit card is issue through them and I did everything they asked me to do. My account was hacked by fraud to the tune of $503 and the only have me back $15.59. I listed all the charges and they never said another word about the other money and stated the case was closed. They said if I wanted to know how they came to that conclusion to to send this form in which I did and I didnt hear a word back from them. When I try calling the gentleman just yells at me and hangs up. That is all the money I have and I really need my money. I even tried to do an online police report with LAPD but it wouldnt let me finish the report. I dont know what else to do. Wisely needs to give me back my money it says it is insured with the *****

      Thank you for raising your concerns. Per our conversation on April 7, 2025, our records indicate you called on January 28, 2025, to initiate a dispute claim for six transactions totaling $505.59. Due to the reported unauthorized charges made to your account, the card was locked to prevent any further unauthorized activity from posting and a replacement card was processed. Records show the card was received and activated on February ******. To assist us in resolving your claim, at the time of claim initiation,you were informed of the written confirmation requirements, and we requested you provide a signed Statement of Fraud form which was mailed to your address on file. However, as of the date of this response, we have not received your written confirmation of error. Our investigation began immediately after the transactions were reported.

      On January 29, 2025, and January 30, 2025, we sent communication to the address on file advising of the merchant credits that posted to the account on January 28, 2025, and January 30, 2025, respectively,totaling $255.00, thereby reducing the dispute claim total to $250.59. On February 3, 2025, we sent communication to the address on file, advising of one transaction totaling $0.59 that never posted to your account, so you were not charged. Based on this, the dispute claim total was reduced to $250.00. On February 10, 2025, our investigation finalized for the remaining disputed total of $250.00, determining that no error occurred, and a resolution letter was sent to you.

      Upon receipt of this complaint, your claim was re-reviewed and due to re-evaluation, the claim was granted in your favor, so your account was credited for $250.00 on April 1, 2025, and a resolution letter was sent to you. In terms of the concerns in your complaint regarding the dispute process,you are encouraged to review your Cardholder Agreement under the Right to Dispute Errors section. Please also note that we reviewed the calls related to your dispute claim handling and confirmed that the agents followed the appropriate protocols and advised you of the correct process. We thank you for allowing us the opportunity to resolve this matter for you.

      I am a global leader in space exploration, physics, and women's empowerment. I am filing a complaint regarding the unacceptable treatment I received from ADP. It was fundamentally not to my standard, and I felt very disappointed. My valuable time was wasted.I am writing to formally request a waiver of the fees that were incorrectly billed to me (without my consent), even after I had closed my account with ADP Run. I had to email and call in 5+ times to terminate my account. After several phone calls and long explanations, some fees were appropriately waived, but my account was not closed, and accrued additional fees without my consent. New fees kept being charged to my account. Each time I called ADP, I was assured that the account was closed and that no more fees would be charged; however, more fees were charged, and customer ********************** agents wasted my valuable time with cases and ************** a woman, I do not feel emotionally safe to continuously be told that my account is closed, while it has been accruing fees that I did not consent to. Please refund all the fees, immediately, and close my account, immediately, to prevent any further fees.Sincerely,Anya

      I am writing to formally address the ongoing delay in the rollover of my retirement funds. I initially submitted the required documentation to ADP on January 14th. While there were some errors in my initial submission, I promptly corrected them and resubmitted the paperwork. After review, I was assured that everything was in order and that my funds would be transferred within 3–5 business days. It has now been over two months, and I am still waiting. Each time I call ADP at ************, I am repeatedly told that my funds will arrive within three business days—yet this has not happened. At this point, I no longer believe these assurances and suspect malfeasance in the handling of my rollover. This is my final attempt to resolve this directly. If my funds are not received by Monday, March 24th, as stated by multiple ADP representatives, I will be seeking legal action and exploring options to transfer my funds to a more reliable institution. I expect immediate written confirmation of the transfer’s status and a firm resolution to this matter. Sincerely, ***** ******* ************ ************************

      ADP onboarded me (I did not onboard myself) and entered the incorrect state tax ID for my company. For 3 quarters the quarterlies were refused and I kept getting penalty and non fiing notices. After 4 months on the phone back and forth with ADP, FINALLY someone recognized the wrong tax ID was being used and it was why the quarterlies were rejected. NOT ONCE in the entire 4 months did ADP attempt to contact me- I only found out the penalites through tax notices and then when I uploaded to ADP, they had no answers. I am owed over $1100.00 in penalties to which after 6 months I have yet to see.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
