Empowerment Ventures, LLC Prepaid Card Complaint

General purpose card Fees

Empowerment Ventures, LLC Prepaid card department,

General purpose card California

I have been forced to remain a customer of RushCard when on - - the company accepted - separate deposits into an account with an expired debit card, an account that i had not used in over three years. Because the company gave me to other option i was forced to order a new card, because that would be the only way to access my money. I ordered a new card on - - and was charged $4.00. After waiting two weeks i contacted RushCard because I still had not received the card. After speaking with an agent i was told i could have the new card rushed to me within 1-2 business days. The Rep went through the process of updating my information and placed me on hold, and then hung up. I called back only to be hung up on - more. Finally i was able to speak with another rep, whom i had to repeat my entire situation to, because apparently RushCard Reps do not make any notes on the account when they speak to a customer. So to my surprise this new Rep told me that i would have to pay $30.00 for them to rush


she would have to charge the card in order for me to get the card in 1-2 business days. That was - -. It has now been 11 days, my account was charged - for $4.00 for a new card and - for $30.00 to expedite s shipping. And i still have not received my card. I have called everyday only to be hung up on every time I 'm on hold waiting to talk to a Rep. I 've also emailed the times, only to receive an automatic response saying i would be contacted within 12 hours, but I have yet to receive any form of response.
