MenuAn atm charged my card $600 for a $200 atm withdrawal, the receipt shows accurately this information, With a $400 terminal fee. How do I get my money?
I only requested and received $200 and was charge $200 along with the $400 terminal fee, totaling as a $600 withdrawal. This shows on my card records as a $600 withdrawal but the receipt I have accurately shows the issue I have. I don't have a regular bank account, I have a prepaid h&r block emerald card. But I was ripped off of $400 from my account and the atm people are apparently aware of the issue. I want my money back what do i do?

Well.
1) If you're in the U.S. just open a complaint with your State's Attorney General, because if you've been hit, many others have too.
I'd also open the same complaint in the State of domicile for the company, if it's a U.S. company.
2) Start a PR campaign, appearing on Radio, TV, Podcasts, speaking for Meetup groups, taking about the bank + any parent company + also any countries involved.
This includes for major shareholders in the bank or parent companies.
Create enough press where revenues drop off + you'll get your money back.
3) Lease a server from OVH (no U.S. connection) + setup a Website about this problem.
Then place an offer of sale on your site for $1,000,000 USD, so the bank + parent company's have a clear indication of how... displeased... you are with their business practices...
4) If you've never done this before, hire someone who has to walk you through the process.
Here's what you can do;
Gather Documentation:
Keep your receipt that shows you only withdrew $200.
Take screenshots or photos of your card records that show the $600 withdrawal.
Contact the ATM Provider:
Find the customer service contact information for the ATM provider.
Call or email them, explaining the situation clearly. Provide all relevant details including the date, time, and location of the ATM transaction.
Contact Your Card Provider:
Get in touch with H&R Block Emerald Card customer service.
Report the incorrect charges and dispute the transaction. Provide them with the same documentation.
Follow Up:
If you do not receive a response within a week, follow up with both the ATM provider and your card provider.
Keep a log of all communications, including dates, times, and the names of the representatives you speak with.
Escalate if Necessary:
If the issue is not resolved, consider escalating the matter by filing a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) or your local financial regulatory authority.

We are building our support site for our mhealth platform end users on desk.com how do we organize the content?
As is my way, I have to answer tangentially: People hate reading documentation. Essentially no one will read the quick start guide, and those who do will have poor retention. This is not just a pithy quote, but driven by years of research into cognitive psychology. You cannot provide training around a complex (or bad) interface, and short training like onboarding guides have essentially no impact. If your responsibility is only the support systems: Ask the users. Carefully. You can't run polls and focus groups as they are not accurate but you can run (or hire people to run) "card sorting exercises." These are participatory design tasks where representative end users can help you understand how they would organize, group and label the information. That makes it more likely for users to find the information they need. Ideally, and if you have authority to mess with the design of the whole application, you don't even need help. No, really! I have designed complex applications (used millions of times a day) with NO help system. It can be done. For this domain, I would probably expect a help system, but one based more around digging into details, and presented in that way, instead of as help. For the interface itself, the application should instead guide the user, and if possible (based on information already entered, what you gather over time if it is something using biometrics or synched to records, etc.) automatically create the needed widgets. Users are very, very poor at customizing, no matter what they say. To remain sticky, make it easy, and personalize for them. I'd be happy to chat about this more based on your specific needs if you are comfortable sharing them with me.SH

I am a trainer in Client Care as opposed to Customer Service. What business sectors do you feel need the most help?
With more than a decade of experience in top services firms (Technology products and financial products), being an ex-VP in Client servicing area, and realizing the impact good client servicing can have in keeping and growing your brand- I do know what you are talking about! The sectors which I feel need the most are- new/few years old startups (specifically service startups), they are so busy managing acquisitions, that they are forgetting servicing and retaining their already existing customers despite knowing that switching costs for these customers are ZERO and their competitors- many! Also, telecom & product support companies are lagging in this area. Hope this helps. I will be happy to have you arrive at a personal business plan for you to start building your training business in this area. Pls feel free to schedule a call or email me at ceo@flatheels.coSS
