My company's Shell Oil Fleet credit card business was purchased by Wex Bank effective December 2018. My first credit card invoice had a $3.00 charge resulting from the issuance of a paper statement. While I didn't recall seeing any advance notice of a paper charge fee, I paid the fee the fee and anticipated similar fees in the future.
I paid the entire balance timely, by phone. I received an e-mail message stating my payment was late. I wanted to confirm the payment was process properly so I phoned the next day. there was a prerecorded message stating that the company had an issue and the payments made during the period of time that Wex Bank had a computer processing issue and all payments will be credited as of the date made. Fortunately I retained my confirmation number.
This month I received the paper invoice. This invoice had a $39 late fee, $10 paper invoice fee and interest due to the "late payment". I called customer service and spoke with "Claude" who was clearly a member of a subcontracted customer service agency somewhere outside the United States. he stated that the RECORDING was not a person and the bank had no obligation to waive the fees, but would be happy to process a waiver. Are you kidding me?
I believe the recording was creating an obligation that all late fees be corrected without the necessity of a phone call by the consumer. "Claude " responded as if he was doing me a favor and never apologized for the Bank's error or inconvenience, nor thanked as a customer. Furthermore, he stated that the fees would be reversed only if the customer called.
I look forward to canceling my company charge cards and either opening a new card supported by a different bank, or selecting a different vendor for my fleets' gasoline.

Take some responsibility, seriously! It's clear that the troubles you are experiencing with HigherOne stem from an inability to manage your funds. Additionally, I fail to see how cancer treatments have ANYTHING to do with not having access to your HigherOne funds - unless you are a medical student who was going to be doing the procedure, I can't imagine this as an "educational expense." And finally, you don't have to use HigherOne. It's a benefit passed to you as a convenience for getting your funds a day or two early. You can link your own bank account and HigherOne will direct deposit your funds. Again, take some responsibility. Playing the victim isn't cute. Really.

I am glad to read someone else has had a similar situation. I called and had the merchant on the phone with me to cancel a charge from that merchant. It still took 10 days despite the merchant deleting the charge. Very frustrating!! Also, Wex rep said the merchant processor had to expire the charge. No one at this merchants office including IT dept. knew what that was. I'm changing where my payroll check is deposited. I feel your pain if I were stuck using these guys I'd pull my hair out.

Currently sitting on hold to cancel my account. I went to the local University for one year and they forced this One card on me with no consent given. They used it to refund what was left of my refund to the account. However little did I know that if I didn't use my card, they would charge me a fee of 10 dollars a month until it dropped below 100. Now they take 3.75 every month for no reason. I've lost my card for months and they've taken over 100 dollars from me for no reason. I didn't ask for this service, I didn't agree to this. I feel very cheated and have fair reason to believe this whole banking system is a scam.

By law, if you do NOT provide your school with your financial banking institution information and fill out the appropriate paperwork, the school must use an authorized FDIC student refund account. ALL Students receive a student refund account. It is part of a higher regulation that you, the school, nor the bank have control over. If you borrow government money, or receive ANY type of financial aid, it must be processed through the school and placed in an approved account. You obviously didn't receive the "memo".

I have been dealing with Higher One, for the purpose of receiving financial aid, I tried unsuccessfully for 1 month to get my identity verified, and even though I had uploaded all the necessary documents Higher one still would not release the hold and I had to contact the college that I attend to get this problem resolved, if this was not the company that my school uses, there is no way I would ever use this company, they are not organized, they do not do things in a timely manner and they are unprofessional. Hopefully with enough complaints our college will use someone different next year. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I feel like the Wex Banks are trying to find every way to tact on new costs when ever they can. This bank is linked with the school district and instead of the school releseing us our fund to our own bank or closet for that matter. Many students were fourst to stick with The Wex banks Higher one accounts. They just released a price rack up on those who have been banking with them forever but are no longer are enrolled. Along with the 2dollars a 50 cents I get charged every time I use my card any way except at their ATMs where there is only one on campas with a long line and even if ur card is stole you get charged 20.00 for a replacement. I can't never reach the bank when I need to and their account higher one is worth reading the fine print.

I am a college student, when I first signed up I did not put in my driver license number Higher one put a ID hold on my account and I have tried unsuccessfully for 1 month to get this resolved, the money is on the card but I can't access it, Higher one is the worse company ever you can't get anyone who will help you and when you talk to a supervisor who should be able to get the information from you and verify your identity they still are no help, unfortunately as a student you are stuck with this company.

THE WORST SERVICE AND HELP EVER. THEY ARCHIVE STATEMENTS AFTER 12 MOS., WHICH ISNT EVEN A CALENDAR YEAR - THEN THEY WANT TO CHARGE YOU FOR THE STATEMENTS THAT WERE FREE, AND THEY CHOSE TO ARCHIVE TOO SOON. THEY DONT GIVE A TINKERS DAMN YOU'RE A STUDENT. THEY HAVE BEEN GIVING ME THE RUNAROUND FOR WEEKS AS I HAVE BEEN TRYING VERY UNSUCCESSFULLY TO GET STATEMENT COPIES FOR TAX PURPOSES. ABSOLUTE JERKS. HOW DOES A BUSINESS LIKE THIS SURVIVE IN TODAYS BUSINESS WORLD!!??
