Prepaid card provider has no support path for customers who lose account credentials

A Netspend customer who lost access to multiple accounts has no way to reach a live representative through the automated system without valid login credentials. Without account access, they cannot get a history of fees charged or initiate a refund process. Prepaid card providers lack identity-recovery flows for locked-out customers.
