Green Dot Made me wait 8 days to get my money Nationwide

 Bought card and deposited 500.00 at the register at Walmart. Tried NUMEROUS times to enter info into website. Website was apparently not working correctly and I called the number on the back of the card to find out how to get my money loaded onto temporary debit card. Nowhere could you speak to a live person-it simply wasn't one of the choices in their automated message. Went back online and found where you could file a complaint over the internet. Then had to wait for a response until someone called me. After speaking to the representative I was told that I tried to enter the information (on their defective website) too many times and could no longer do so because I was now locked out. I asked for a new card number and to have MY MONEY transferred to another temporary card. I was told they can not do that and would refund my money 10-14 BUSINESS DAYS from that date by a check mailed to my home. Asked to speak to a manager, was told there was none, started to get angry and was told she would hang up. My check eventually came but way after what I needed that money on a debit card for. (to purchase a plane ticket for a funeral that week) For two weeks the company had my cash- interest in a bank account somewhere? Or perhaps Walmart makes money cashing the check for you when it finally comes...Just another company taking advantage of the working poor and non-citizens. NEVER purchase any of these types of debit cards-open an online banking account (Regions Bank) or go to ACE check cashing where they will hand you a card with the money already loaded. I should know better than to shop at Walmart for any reason and I know That there are somehow affiliated with this company because when the check came it also advertised that it could be cashed at Walmart. Extremely poor customer service. Sad that I had to beg for my own money to be returned to me.
