Unfortunately never found a way to solve that. It could be the card that is damaged either the strip or the chip. So it will not read correctly. Do you have the option of maually entering the card number? I have seen this for years and have always thought it to be theft by the companies that sell those cards and believe they know it. It has gotten better but still too many of these stories like yours.
