EPPICard Customers Angry After Getting Screwed on Child Support
The EPPICard debit card is a popular way to access deposits at ATMs around the United States. It is used in dozens of states primarily as a way to get child support payments. Because child support is a serious matter, you would think the EPPICard would focus on having excellent customer service and support for families around the country.
However, it's shocking to see what their website looks like, and how difficult it is to find contact information about them. I included a picture of their website above as an example. It looks like it was designed in the 1990's, and it took my almost 10 minutes to find the EPPICard customer service number (which is 1-866-729-6159).
Because of all of these challenges, you can imagine customers not being too happy when there is an issue. We have been reading more negative reviews online, and so we took to Twitter to find out exactly what customers thought about EPPICard. Here's 10 real tweets, that should give you an idea of what this company is all about.
#DHR.GOV I think its sorry as hell to continue to put child support on eppicard when you can just do direct deposit. What a shame!

Also, it's worth noting that we were unable to find the EPPICard corporate office address listed anywhere online. It is rarely a good sign when a company will not tell you where it's located.
