I needed a prepaid debit card for an online purchase, which fell through, so I took the card back to Rite-aid for a refund and was told it could not be done. I tried to buy something in the store with the card and it was refused. I suspected a fraud and looked on the internet and found many other people complaining, all had far more invested than my 'mere' $35. None found a solution but all thought it should be investigated and reported.
I am almost 80 and living on my retirement income and am angry to have been taken advantage of.
Please help.

If you look at these sites, people often wonder just WHY Green DOT has an A+ rating. Including ME! Just look at all these complaints! http://www.trustlink.org/Ask-The-Com...-A-rating-4598

I purchased a Green Dot card to have my direct deposit. At that time, I lived at the YMCA here in Phoenix, AZ. I had no problems but, as soon as I move to an apartment complex, they cancel my card and say, "I'm sharing my personal information and that at least 10 other people have Green dot cards at my apartment complex." Greendot obviously don't recognize individual apartments as ONE household! I am only the second person to ever occupy my apartment as they are kind of new. Well, they sent back my direct deposit and it took over three weeks for me to be reissued my money. However, I incurred $75 in late (rental) fees and, an eviction notice that goes against my credit rating. MAJOR damages! No, the BBB does not help! Green dot did however offer me $25 for my troubles (Cara Almon) called me and she offered that. Humm, $75 out of pocket late fees and a damaged credit. Do they really think that $25 will buy me off? NO! Green dot are thieves, scammers and they discriminate!
If any one wants a good card, get Bank Freedom! bankfreedom.com I've used them since Green Dot and, I have had no problems with them at all!

We apologize for your experience. We are here to help. The Green Dot Personalized Card is a prepaid Visa or debit MasterCard Card that you can use anywhere MasterCard or Visa cards are accepted worldwide. It's a prepaid debit card and unlike gift cards, when registered, Green Dot prepaid cards are personalized with your name, allow you to make ATM withdrawals in addition to making purchases, and can be reloaded with money. Due to these features, Federal law requires us to obtain, verify and record your name, address, date of birth, and Social Security number when you register a Green Dot Card. We use security measures that comply with federal law to protect any personal information submitted to register a card. If you did not go through the process of registering the card, it will not be active and therefore you would not be able to use it. If you do not need this card and would like a refund, please call the customer support number on the back of the card.

Banks and credit card companies can change their terms at any time. All they need to do is notify you of the change.
If you continue to use their service, you tacitly agree to the new terms.
If you disagree, you need to STOP using the service.
It really is as simple as that...no need to thank me for the information. :)
