On 2/23/24, a check was sent from 'Wealthcare' to 'Health Equity' for $3,261.61. The check number was ******** and the memo line said '*******************************'. After dozens of calls to Health Equity and hours spent on the phone, they are unable to locate the the check and funds. The check was cashed on 2/29/24. If a copy of the cashed check is needed, it is available upon request. Through the numerous calls, Health Equity always states that I do not have an account. I do not disagree with that, but the check was made out to Health Equity and they cashed it. I simply want the money that rightfully mine.Business Response

At my request Health Equity closed my account, charged me a $25 fee and was to transfer the balance to ******************** as a trustee to trustee transfer. The fee was deducted from my account on 5-15-2024 and a check was supposedly sent to Fidelity. With no conclusion, a Fidelity representative and I contacted Health Equity (HE) on June 6th. We were told the check was lost in the mail, therefore HE would cancel the check, issue a new one and send it express mail to Fidelity. I checked on June 13th and was told "operations had not issued the new check and once they did it would take ten days for receipt by Fidelity." I called back on June21st, and June 25th. No one in customer service was empowered to help or provide an accurate status report. Additionally, i was told i could write a letter to the corporate headquarters if i was unsatisfied with the answer. Health Equity is unlawfully holding my $35k and stonewalling any reasonable response to my problem.Business Response

I have been waiting for funds to my dependent care flexible spending account for two months. My paycheck had money taken out of it that then had to be reimbursed by my employer causing me tax dollars I was trying to avoid in April. Now, I've had three transactions of $250 on May 15, May 30 and June 15 in addition to administration fees. I would like the admin fees refunded since I am the one that has been on top of finding out why my funds are not in the ****** I have childcare I need to pay for. I've had bank overdraft fees of $500 because I was missing this money as well.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: replying does not make this right. I am still waiting for a refund of administration fees for my time and effort on the phone and via chatbot with your computer in order to reach a resolution of the missing $750, as well as the lost $500 in bank overdraft fees. As of today, my DCFSA account still has a $0 balance.

I am trying to close my Healthequity HSA account and move it to another HSA custodian. In order to do so, I am required to liquidate all my investments. I liquidated 100% of my investments and initiated an internal funds transfer from the ******* ****** account ***********************'s investment platform) to the Healthequity HSA account. However, ********************** has frozen my HSA account and the cash transfer from ******* ****** has been in a pending state for a week (it should take just two business days). Efforts to resolve this issue have been futile since the customer service team cannot communicate (via phone or chat) with the account closure team. Also, Healthequity has antiquated account closure processes. Instead of electronically transferring funds or using ***** Overnight for transferring funds to a new custodian, they use postal mail to send a check after a delay of several weeks to process the closure. This is not secure and a painfully slow process. Healthequity HSA needs to overhaul and streamline its internal processes and speed-up the transfer process to a new HSA custodian. I need Healthequity to transfer my HSA funds to the new HSA custodian within three business days.Business Response

HealthEquity is the Flex Spending provider for my employer. In March they required verified receipts for 2 healthcare transactions. I provided receipts that were approved and accepted. However since then, my Flex Spending card has been suspended multiple times for unverified transactions. However the portal shows there are no unverified transactions. I have called customer service at least 8 times on this issue. They have opened multiple cases with the relevant department to resolve. The issue was resolved in May and then reappeared again in the beginning of June for no reason. I called customer service again and they have opened 2 more cases and it is still not resolved. I cannot get anyone to resolve this issue once and for all. As a result I cannot use my flex spending benefit for health related charges and have been paying out of pocket for these expenses.Business Response

Health Equity is responsible for managing commuter benefits. I did not receive my commuter passes for 2 months after the money was taken out of my paycheck. Healthy equity cannot even provide tracking to show that my passes were delivered. Yet, in order to get future credit for the passes not received, I am told I need to find and scan receipts for each replacement ticket that I paid out of pocket for. Here is a company with a flawed process for procuring and delivering commuter passes. They cannot prove that the goods I purchased were actualy delivered. Yet, their policy forces me to spend precious time to scan receipt after receipt for replacement tickets, in order to get credit for commuter passes not received. They also use the *** as an excuse to not take responsbility for their flawed process. The *** has nothing to do with the fact that they procure expensive commuter passes without a tracking number.Business Response

Wageworks is so unprofessional! The customer service is horrible. Agents and management have dropped the ball. I should have been received my health spending card in February and months still have not received it. Paying for items out of pocket with a HSA just sitting there. Then agents just hang up calls and management is no better!Business Response

I have struggled to get any good communication from this company. I have had to reach out to them on several occasions with some time sensitive issues and questions. When I asked on each occasion to please have someone reach out to me directly I NEVER received any direct communication. All I ever got was a generic email telling me to call them if Id like. I was assured each time that someone would be reaching out to me directly. They lie to you and tell you that they will and then just disregard it. I dont care for companies that treat you like a number and thats exactly what this company does. I would certainly not recommend this company and I will look for any opportunity to suggest a different one for my use if given the opportunity.

I am rejecting this response because:
I have not been contacted by anyone from this company at any time and theyve had numerous opportunities to do so. Ive had several issues that I have insisted on being called by a supervisor with some explanation and/or resolution and Ive never been called back. And this is even after being promised that I would be called. They told me that all of their calls are recorded and I asked them to please listen to them. They will hear that I was promised to be contacted and never actually was. A customer should not have to call in and start from scratch, through countless prompts and options and to wait on hold for a supervisor, to find out the answer to something when you are promised a callback. Ive gotten no answers to my questions and inquiries to date.
