I received a notice dated XXXX XXXX, 2015 stating that the PayCard program issued by Elan Financial Services and provided through Beacon Credit Union was being terminated ; stating that I would not be able to add funds after XXXX XXXX, 2015 ; and requesting I use all money on my card before XXXX XXXX, 2015, the close date. The notice also stated that barring any communication from me, any funds remaining on my card at the close date would be escheated. At the time, I had ~ {$2700.00} on the card. I immediately went to my credit union to withdraw the remaining funds. I was told that I could not withdraw more than {$1000.00} at one time, and that there was a cash withdrawal fee. I took the {$1000.00}, made a few purchases, and later withdrew another {$1000.00}. 

With my account now being under {$1000.00}, I went XX/XX/XXXX to withdraw the remaining {$490.00}. However, the expiration date on my card was XX/XX/XXXX and I had not received a replacement card so I was denied access to my money. Because I did not want any remaining funds on the card to be escheated, the credit union called the number on the card in my presence and then gave the phone to me. The Elan representative first told me that she could have a new card sent to me, but that it would not arrive in time for me to use it. BIG HELP. I asked how I was supposed to get my money. She said any balance on the account would be sent to me by check in XX/XX/XXXX. I specifically restated and verified that statement, mentioned the possibility of escheat per the notice, and expressed my desire to avoid it. The representative told me I would get the check and that the funds would only be escheated if I did not negotiate the check. 

XX/XX/XXXX arrived, and no check. So I called the number on my card again, and the Elan representative told me that the balance had been processed and I would receive a check within two weeks. Six weeks later, and no check. I called again, and was told that the funds had been escheated and was given the email address XXXXXXXXXXXX ' to find out how to claim my money. Exactly what I did not want to happen had happened. I sent an email to the address I was given three times and it was returned undeliverable all three times. I called again and was told that the email address I had used was correct and that there was nothing more they could do for me. I have been checking indianaunclaimed.gov ever since, but my {$490.00} dollars is still not listed. 

Elan had communication from me and my address never changed. I was not unreachable. If they did escheat my money, they should not have done so. Their customer service reps gave incorrect information on three different occasions. I still do n't have my money, and I do n't know who has it.
