General purpose card Managing, opening, or closing account South Carolina

I could almost check each and every one above. Rush card had a system update on -/-/-. I had funds added to my account on -/-/-. Funds I had - - to me to help out on bills I had. My car payment. Well I called in for a replacement card with mine being damaged. I was told 7 to 10 days. 2 weeks later still no replacement card. Then finally it came in the mail. I opened it to realize it was the same numbers just different expiration dates and different - numbers on the back of the card. Didnt think anything of it. Well after calling for another 2 weeks i recieved my funds on my card -/-/2015. So the system told me my card was activated as well. One problem i had i couldnt remember the pin number so i called. Put my info in with new - digit code on back and the operator told me wrong number. After a few times i tried my previous - code from my first card and it still told me the same thing. So i got transfered to soneone i could speak to. Which shocked me. Few weeks prior


damaged it accidently and i couldnt use it at all to swipe or to withdrawl. So didnt see how it would really make a difference. So, now once again he deactivated the card and sent me out a new one. Today is Wednesday and he told me it would be here Friday. I am wondering if this is the start of another two week checking my mail box to no card. Or better yet get charged for another replacement card that is sent quicker which costs more money. Someone has to pay for it. Either way I am back at square one with a - Dodge Avenger that is about to be in a reporting for non payment which will effect my credit. I have been trying to play catch up for a month now and i am still struggling being a single mom with - children who i dont get any support for. So, i dont just have that kind of money to throw away or wait for. When i got this prepaid card i didnt think their was ever going to be such a hassel. Boy was i wrong. Makes we want to stick to the local banks where i can actually go in and see and talk to someone when issues arise. I guess i am wondering what Rushcard is going to do to help me when my car payment goes over a 30 day late payment where my account will be considered delinquent. They report me to all three major credit bureos. Which i spent over a year paying an agency to help get my credit half way decent. Now, a gliche, update system, whatever Rushcard 's excuses were, once again in a diffrent aspect is back to square one. Please get this fixed and help me out so I can get my fiancial statements up to date and live my life stress free again. Never would imagine this would or even could happen until it has to me. Also a little helpful note. It would be a little stressfree to be able to speak to someone that understands me and well as i can understand them. Once again. I just want to be able to get to my funds as well as making sure my car doesnt get reported to consumer reports. Thanks
