I recently ordered a Ready Debit card because I was trying to avoid pricey bank fees. I was unaware that this company/debit card would charge so many fees. For the intital load/use, I ended up paying over $15.00 (9.95 for the activation and over $5 for loading and making one transaction under $60.00).  It costs $.95 for every transaction made without a PIN, but I was never assign a PIN for the card. The monthly fee is about $4.00 and I could go on and on. Some of the fees the company charge were not listed on the list I was aware of. I have tried to cancel this card and was charged $2.00 to speak with a live representative. When the line was turned over, there was an automated service claiming the office was closed at that time. I am very upset and I need help cancelling this account before I go into debt with all the fees.

Green Dot Corporation is not part of the Ready Debit company. We do not charge a fee per transaction. The card can be purchased and activated for $4.95 at a retailer near you or for free if you order it online on our website, www.greendot.com. The monthly maintenance fee is $5.95, but we will waive it when you load $1, 000.00 in a month or make 30 transactions in a month. Our fees are all clearly stated on the package or on our website, it is a simple, minimal and straght forward fee structure. We also have options to avoid most fees.

Go find yourself a 12 year old and have him/her read the instructions/agreement that you received with your card.  That should do it.  Cretin.
