Credit Karma, and for that matter Intuit should be both ashamed for their lack of customer service and penalized for robbery and providing false information as well as moving money that isn’t theirs around without telling people and making fiduciary decisions for them.

 

I was told by TurboTax that the IRS would be mailing a check because my spend account had been closed and I didn’t know that until after filing, which in all honesty I was cool with. But that didn’t happen, instead they opened up a Credit Karma save account somehow routed my money to that account (even though on my tax return it doesn’t instruct the irs to deposit my refund  there which I still don’t get) .  Then they connected that savings account to the bank account that was connected to my spend account and won’t let me change it, I know longer bank with that previously linked bank and the account doesn’t exist.

 

its been in there for two weeks and last week I needed that money for an emergency surgery and had been waiting on and because of them not being able to find a solution to get me my money my little girl has to wait even longer for a major medical operation. And basically CK said they don’t give two **bleep**s.

 

With all the **bleep**ing financial technology advances you mean to tell me they can’t sit down and figure out a way to get me my money instantly, or how bout this. . . open my **bleep** spend account back up because I know it’s not even closed because if it was the money would have never been able to be deposited there by the IRS. **bleep** I don’t know why they can’t send me a wire transfer or give me a virtual card linked to my save account or cashapp me and keep the money, or anything.

 

They basically said nothing we can do. But if they don’t figure it out and something bad happens to my daughter, rest assured I will find whomever responsible for these insane policies and I will get even. Eye for an eye. Better sleep with one open your sorry worthless excuse for a company

I am dealing with this right now, I was told my account is closed, I don’t know where my return is and why the account was closed, this is absolutely ridiculous

If your account was closed, the refund will be returned back to the IRS and they will issue a check in the mail.

Please see the above post by TurboTax agent CarissaM, as the IRS will issue a refund check if the account is closed.

Credit karma is awful! They closed my account and they say it will get rejected and sent back to irs! Bull **bleep**! I’ve known them to deposit it into the closed account and people have to fight them for their money! Someone needs to file a lawsuit against credit karma

Credit Karma money account was opened when I did my taxes and then the state taxes were deposited.. I began to use it and then a week later they closed my account and couldn't tell me how to get the 863.03 that was still in the account. They said it was transferred to an external bank but I never transferred the funds. So now I am out 863.06 plus my federal taxes are supposed to be deposited there in a few days. It is definitely a scam and I will report them as well.

Sounds like we need to hire a lawyer and file a class action lawsuit and get our fees we paid filing for this with interest back.

I got a refund advance last year to credit karma last year they closed my account out the blue and check was mailed from the irs. What will happen to the refund advance they weren’t able to get the advance back because they closed it.
