Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi through the Economic Crimes Division, is looking into whether these banking companies, duped their card owners by promising to help raise their credit score.
First Data Corporation, Green Dot Corporation, Account Now, Inc., Netspend Corporation, Unirush Financial Services, LLC were also named in the subpoena.
Since the court order was issued, reps for the Rush Card have released a statement:
“RushCard is the solution for people who want affordable financial services that they can customize to suit their needs. As I look at the payments landscape, I see the banks as the large record chains and my RushCard is looking a lot more like iTunes. I welcome the public debate because the more educated the consumers are the more successful we become.”

ReplyDeleteNot the worst I've seen, but these types of cards do nothing to help a person build credit.
