Securus Technologies Reviews (%countItem)

This inmate communication company is complete trash. It is impossible to get into contact with a representative. I have been on hold for 4 hours then the call gets disconnected. Their remote video visitation quality is horrible. You cannot hear the inmate at all, with headphones even and the volume completely up. The reps are rude & now there is a supposed billing issue with my card for video, yet it went through for my phone account to make a payment. Doesn't make any sense at all. Horrible customer service and horrible quality everything.

+1

My phone continue to cut off.The time you would like to speak to your love one the phone doesn' work.Will you have a real person on the switchboard.
phones continue to be cut off. Because the operator continue to talk never accepting the when I push the number.

Desired Outcome

Please fix your phone.

They are absolutely horrible. The system isn't accurate and then they want you to bend over backwards to get your money back when they are wrong. I wanted to give no star but had to select at least one. Don't ever use this system for your loved ones for video. The video is poor everytime and they charge taxes now for visits as before they didn't. I would drive 8 hrs to see my loved one before using them. No good for nothing service.

If I could leave them a zero I absolutely would. They have deleted my calling account with no warning at all even though I had over $30 on my account. Now the visitations are not working and their call center phones are off this is absolutely ridiculous and happens at least every other week.

This company is the worst company I have ever dealt with! We have a direct bill account and if the bill isn't paid BEFORE the due date they will block your call. My bill was due today and the account is already blocked. Then to try and call to make a payment (because I attempted to pay online but it wouldn't let me update my card information "card type" so it wouldn't process my payment) and then had to sit listening to the recorded messages for 2 minutes before I could even get to a menu - then good luck trying to connect with a human! For being a company with their main business being facilitating phone calls you would think they would have a better system in place for those seeking assistance with their account via telephone. I ended up finally finding a way to connect to a rep and sat on hold for 30 minutes! Yes, 30 minutes (according to the timer on my phone)! So I hung up because I also have a job to do so I can't sit on hold for that long - I then attempted to "Chat" online so I could get my issues resolved and waited AGAIN for close to 10 minutes! Then the chat rep finally communicated with me and I was helping a client that came in and the rep states if I don't respond within 60 seconds then he will close the chat - really!?! I wait on hold for 30 minutes on the phone and never connect with a rep and you can't wait more than 60 seconds on the live chat. Ridiculous! If I could use a different company I would - my only resort is to leave feedback to warn others don't get involved with this company!

If I could give this company a 0 that's exactly what they deserve. First of all, the company has deleted my loved ones phone numbers from their accounts and continue to not fix the problem that they've created. Securus has deleted family members telephone numbers which is making it hard for my loved ones to communicate with that very important peace that they do have while incarcerated. They also have bad customer service and no one knows what to really do. This is so frustrating as many people are incarcerated and the human communication is through a phone call for the inmates. This is definitely a deprivation of the inmates to make contact with their families.

This company also don't even provide a section on their website for customer feedback. So how do they even have an A+?

Purchased time on an inmate's debit account. Inmate's account has not been credited. They are still unable to make outgoing calls with their debit
I purchased phone time for an inmate at Kentucky but the inmate has not been granted access to those funds days later. Usually funding their debit account is immediate and they can make called right after. The next day they were still complaining that the funds were not available.

Today the inmate requested that I contact Securus. I tried their phone automated system without any luck and then started live chat. According to live chat, "Unfortunately, there is no specific prompt to be directed towards a live agent.

You will need to navigate through our automated system as best as it fits your needs. If the automated system is unable to satisfy your request, you will then be transferred to a live representative when one becomes available."

The live online chat agent 'Jerrick' stated that they saw my transaction went through and I was charged. 'Jerrick' was unable to tell if any funds or minutes resulted on the inmate's account. Per 'Jerrick', Securus support "we have no access to the balance".

Securus was unable to give clear information on if the minutes/time/money was put on the inmate's debit account.

This is a confirmation that you funded an Inmate Debit account from Securus Online.
Transaction Date: 02/28/2020 - 2:45:41 PM
Amount Funded: $15.00
+Transaction: $3.00

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
In accordance with federal privacy rights, Mr. *** has a right to know why his funds were used for another purpose. I believe the situation was made up; however, please send that information to Mr. *** an inmate at Lee Adjustment Center whom asked me to look into the situation. The prison requires all inmates contact their loved ones and will not work directly with Securus.

As a consumer, he has a right to know what allegations you are putting on him. At this time, he is stating his innocence.

My account was charged twice by Securus and due to my bank contacting them about the charge my account is now blocked.
On 2/20/2020, I was notified by my bank that I had two charges in the amount of $20.00 from Securus Technologies. I verified one payment of $20 and advised I only authorized one charge. My bank then issued a refund request to Securus advising that my account had been incorrectly charged twice. Securus made a refund and then suspended my account. I contacted Securus on 2/23/2020 as I was having problems adding money to the account and was told it was suspended due to the refund of $20.00 to my bank. I explained it was due to a duplicate charge and was advised to do the following for Securus to conider reinstating my account and the ability for me to add money via credit card through their online system:
1. Upload my bank statement 2. the finance dept. will know the email is for them 3. Provide a detailed explanation of what occurred 4. Wait until they consider the request. During this process of consideration, the only way to fund my account is by *** or *** 2 companies that have had online breaches that have affected millions. Also companies where I incur additional fees $8.99 for *** and $5.99 for *** Securus should have notified me by email that my account was suspended and there should be clear procedures for consumers on the appropriate steps to rectify this issue. The are the nations largest telecommunication company of our prison system. There should be a secured process in which someone can dispute or show validity of duplicate charges. Asking a consumer to upload their bank statement in order for them to continue receiving calls from a loved one is not a best business practice nor is it safe for a consumer to do so, we take on the risk if our information is compromised in the process. I would like this issue resolved as soon as possible. I have forwarded letters to both Aventiv Technologies and Platinum Equity about this issue. My next steps if unresolved will be to contact the CT attorney general. There is a prison population and while most people may not care much, they are people; someone's loved one and the only way to support them is by communication. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Desired Outcome

I am requesting that my account be removed from suspension and the company research the duplicate charge. I would also like Securus to post on their website proper, procedures on who a consumer can contact as well as a proper secured process to resolve these types of issue.

Securus Technologies, Inc., with its customer service department, Securus Correctional Billing Services,
(collectively, "Securus"), hereby responds to ***' complaint regarding her account for calls from the
Connecticut Department of Corrections ("CT DOC") - New Haven Correctional Center located in New Haven, CT.
Ms. indicates she was charged twice and her bank contacted Securus. Credit card payments on her account
are now blocked and she wants it removed.
Investigation into this matter found AdvanceConnect account number XXXXXXX was established in the name of
*** on November 12, 2014 for billed telephone number XXX-XXX-XXXX.
Upon receipt of her complaint, a review of her account did not find any double payments on the same day. We
did find a $20.00 payment on February 14th and another on February 16th.
On February 14th, Securus received a chargeback for the $20.00 credit card payment from the financial institution
of her credit card used to make the payment. This chargeback caused her credit card privileges to be halted.
When Securus does not accept credit card payments, future payments to her account must be made through
Western Union, MoneyGram, money order or cashier's check.
She has made multiple MoneyGram payments since that time and has been receiving good calls from her Loved
One.
Her issue was escalated to our Credit Risk Dept. and the credit card payment restriction was not removed after
we received the chargeback.
Securus sincerely regrets Ms.' frustration concerning her inability to make payments. If there should be
any other questions or concerns, she may write us at Securus Correctional Billing Services, *** BOX ***

An account was fraudulently opened in my name, even after informing Securus of the issue, they had sent the account to collections.
Account Number: XXXXXXXX
Invoice: SXXXXXXXXX with Date: 12/03/2019
Invoice Amount: $29.92

The account referenced above is with Securus Technologies was opened in my name and address without my knowledge. Aside from the name and address, any other information on the account, phone number and email address, does not belong to me.

On Dec 16, 2019, when I received a bill from Securus, I immediately notified them of the fraudulent activity. Per a supervisor's advise, I faxed a cover letter and proof that I don't own the phone numbers associated or called or used in the account. When faxed, this will be handled. For information, this account is use to call or receive phone calls from inmates.

Securus Technologies failed to process the report as they need a police report, a matter of importance that they have not failed to convey to me until I called them today 2/19/2020. I was told that I should have called which is different from my conversation with the supervisor. My assumption is that they have called the number on the account which is not my correct contact number.

The reason for my call on 2/19/2020 was because Securus had sent my account over for collections. The agency had tried to call and email using the information on the account but have not received a response. Until they sent a letter to my address.

In addition to a fraudulent use of my account, I am also reporting Securus Technologies for their negligence in this matter. I believe they have a very flawed system when opening accounts as well as deceptive practice of providing incomplete information to resolve issues.

Desired Outcome

Close the account and create better process when using name and address information. I am an IT professional and have been involved in consumer information validation, such as postal address verification with name, customer authentication such as Lexis Nexus, etc. In the current landscape of consumer privacy protection, I believe Securus is violating some degree of consumer protection.

Customer Response • Jan 22, 2020

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
Response from vendor stated that customer (myself) missed the visit. That is completely false. I was logged in waiting for the visit. There was either a technical problem with Securus equipment at the jail, or some type of other issue on the jail end. Never did I miss a visit. Therefore I refuse to be charged for a visit that was not completed due to no fault of my own.

My aunt gave me the tablet JP5S I tried charging it it wouldn't turn on I was going to ask for a refund and get my money back .
JP5S tablet 7inch

Desired Outcome

A refund would be solve this conflict .

My Husband is incarcerated in Florida jail....He calls me 4 times a month. Each time he calls Securus charges my card 3 times.
They have charged me 3 times per call and have told me that is because incase payment doesn't clear the first time. Today they told me that he called me 3 times and spoke to him for 30 minutes and when I told them I spoke to him once for 15 minutes they called me a liar. And that is was not entitled to a refund of any kind.
And when I do except the call I chose the option NOT to have my card saved and they still do and charge me on days he tries to call and I am not home....

Desired Outcome

A refund of $100.00 for the calls charged but never received.

For Ms. information about rates of her calls, we have outlined below the cost of these local calls:
Palm Beach County Main Detention in West Palm Beach, FL to XXX-XXX-XXXX
Operator Service Charge: $0.00 to connect, per call
Usage Charge: $0.21 for the first minute $0.21 for each additional minute,
capped at $3.15
For a maximum call duration of 15 minutes, the cost of the calls has a maximum cost of $3.15 + applicable
taxes and fees. The taxes and fees charged for their recent maximum duration calls totaled $1.00 which makes
the total cost of these calls $4.15.
She has chosen to pay for each call individually using a credit card. She has not been auto charged for the calls.
Each of the maximum duration calls has a $3.00 payment fee + $.98 tax. This makes the total cost of each
maximum duration call of 15 minutes equal $8.15.
All our customers have the opportunity to create an AdvanceConnect (prepaid) account and reduce the
number of payment fees by making larger payments into the account to pay for multiple calls @ $4.15 each,
not $8.15 each.
It should be noted that when a payment is made an authorization entry shows on their bank account. This is
followed by a conditional deposit where the funds are transferred to Securus. Afterwards, the initial entry is
no longer valid.
If she continues to feel that she is being billed incorrectly, she can mail in a copy of her bank statements
showing the duplicate payments reported in her complaint that were made to Securus, we would be glad to
research further. They can be mailed to the address below.
Securus sincerely regrets Ms. frustration concerning her billing issues. If there should be any other
questions or concerns, she may write us JPay, a Securus Technologies Company, PO BOX 1109, Addison TX
75001, Attn: CET.
Sincerely,

I was double billed when the site said one payment error ed out.
This company owns and runs the Jpay service for correctional facilities. I placed money on the site for my son on Nov 1st, the first one had an error and I waited over 6 hours before trying again to be sure it didn't take the money from my card. I put in the information again 6 hours later it confirmed the payment and I got an email stating that. But both payments still showed on my card statement so I waited the allotted 7-10 days for the one to drop off my card and it didn't and hasn't as of today.I have placed numerous calls to the company and to my bank. My bank paid them both I even sent proof to the company only to get an email back saying it would be returned to my card in 7-10 days. I am getting no where, I even asked customer service for an email stating the one payment wasn't paid since there was an error on the site, which they said they would email 14 days later still no email. I live on a fixed income and don't mind at all paying for what I get , but I get very upset and aggravated when my money is taken and no one at customer service seems to care.

Desired Outcome

I want the 37.75 either put back on my account of my sons account with Jpay.

ABYSMAL customer service. You wait for ages for someone to answer, and then all they know to say is that it's a computer problem.

An "A+" rating with 40 1-star reviews? Wow!!

Their web site sucks, lousy customer service, their apps have low ratings, etc. Still, I wanted to on-line visit my son in a detention center. Somehow I created an "inmate funding" but they say they can't delete it. How convenient for them.

In trying to initiate their "visitation" service, I couldn't read the terms & conditions until I singed up and agreed to their terms & conditions. Hmmm. After signing up using my Mac, they said I couldn't use my Mac - use Internet Explorer 11 (or higher). My how helpful (sarcasm) that they don't supply this type of info on their web site. Don't have a cell phone so I wanted to delete my account.

I tried calling their number, but was told to go on-line. Went on-line and was told to call the same number I previously called.
