Since last week, US Direct Express froze my card. The online explanation is that the card is under investigation. However, the funds Direct Express are holding were from a reservation to stay at a hotel and not for recreational purposes but because I am facing a " wrongful eviction " even though, I agreed to a court settlement in front of a judge in order to transition out peacefully. I was two-timed by the appointee employee of my current Leasing Rental management company. Due to the eviction records under my name and the pressure to leave this residence, I contracted the services of another company that charges a pretty penny. I decided to book a hotel through Priceline.com for this save the " credit discredited " had not given me any confirmation of locking an apartment for me. My husband and I agreed on booking a hotel room as to the alternative of eviction upon us. Then, I was notified one or two days prior to the scheduled eviction that an apartment had approved me.
I canceled the hotel reservation with Priceline.com and Priceline sent me a notice for canceling the hotel reservation. As time is upon my family and me to make a payment to move into the new place , U.S. Direct Express freezes my account. I have been calling in tears and those CS agents have jerked me around between their Level 1 and Level 2 Customer Service staff. They do not give me an explanation, nor an answer of how long this investigation will take ? I called Priceline and they confirmed that on their side the cancelation had been made and Priceline even agreed to a two-way call with Direct Express and Direct Express hung up on both, Priceline and me. Repeatedly, I have been calling and attempted to reach a resolution for those funds that I need imperatively in order to lock the move as this mediator company, I hired to assist me with the move is also applying pressure and threatening that I am going to lose the place unless I pay this much and by such and such rules - which by the way include not refunding me a penny of what I paid them and it is in the thousands.
I am very stressed out and this is a catch 22 problematic , lose-lose for my family and me. U.S. Direct Express has continued to hang up on me over and over without any explanations other than overpowering " nastiness " and I am no rich person. I suspect that none of this is any coincidence and it is a ' network ' of business working together through ' their ' employees. In any case, this report is against U.S. Direct Express even though I deemed giving a brief account of the overall picture of my circumstances. U.S. Direct Express is toying with my own life and livelihood. These companies are targeting vulnerable people. I mean this sincerely and not being " dramatic " at all as I'm undergoing this process and attempting to write this report as factually and efficiently as possible for others to know and my own well being's sake.
