Merrick Bank - Hold on account
Updated by user Jun 25, 2024

After two attempts she told me she would have to submit a request. She stated there was not one manager available to speak to me.

Updated by user Jun 25, 2024

I was transferred to a senior customer service representative, when I initially asked for a manager. She stated she was from the management team. I repeated my request to speak to a manager not a senior representative.

Original review Jun 25, 2024

I have a hold on my account regarding a payment made which was over the balance. Security requested a bank verification to lift the hold, I faxed my statement 4 times.

They finally received the fax and are now stating it is illegible and I need to refax the document. I asked to speak to a manager.

Payment through billing tree now Repay

Contains 1 confidential file for company representatives

Made payment through billing tree on 6/16/24 8:53am of 105.05. Payment still hasnt posted to my Merrick account!

Talked with customer service on Thursday 6/30/24 said was having issues with software payment will be posted to account on 6/22/24. Talked with Merrick customer service again on 6/22/24, stated payment still not received to call Billing tree! I called Billing tree, payment has been sent to Merrick Bank no trouble on there end with there software! Called Merrick Bank back, and notified them what customer service at Billing Tree said!

Merrick Bank customer service did not put any notes or inquiries on my account about the issue! I made a payment before my account was over my credit limit, its not my fault your software system needs an upgrade. Even though there was an holiday this week, the payment should have posted by now.

I would expect any overage fee to be removed, because I have proof from Billing Tree I made a payment before my account went over its limit! Customer service needs to put notes, and inquiries on customer accounts when they call with issues, so the next time they call customer service can check and see the inquiry and notify customer issue has been solved or direct them to a supervisor that can help with the situation instead of blowing them off, and being rude about the situation.

I'm getting impatient

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Bad charges appeared on my card and you all helped as best you could. My next step was to submit proof of my identity.

Even after doing this, I'm still without a card and with no means of making a payment on it. I'm the one who has been wronged in this situation. Could someone please reach out to me and explain what's happening? No one has even asked me which charges are fraudulent.

Communication would be appreciated. I've called four times and have been put on hold indefinitely.

Terrible customer service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Horrible, indignant customer service;

I received an invoice for a $72.00 annual fee for a card that was never received. The representative was indignant and condescending with my request to delete the fee since the bank failed its contractual obligation to provide use of the account.

She also refused to send the card faster than two weeks, without an additional fee, another insult.

Then she placed me on hold for a supervisor that never came to the line after deliberately placing me on hold for 40 minutes in an endless hold.

Obviously, there was no intention that a supervisor would ever pick up the call, disgusting customer service.

This is a terrible way to treat your customers. Thus, I am demanding that the $72.00 fee be credited back to the account that I am unable to use.

Bad customer service closing my account

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I paid off this account. Dont understand why a $76.99 balance cant be waved as a compensation for a loyal customer.

You all received my payment on the 1nd of July as my understanding bill was due on the 1st . This payment was mailed on the 28 of June. Every time I call their customer service skills are unacceptable. Mainly the reason for closing this account.

Yours Ms. Luberta Danner

Need to talk with someone in customer service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I talked to someone about getting money owed to me, and I was told it would be in the mail. I should receive it in 30 days, which should be by July 11, so hopefully, this will happen. I was told this a month ago and saw nothing in return.
