Subject: DO NOT DELETE - SERIOUS PROBLEM

To Whom It Concern:

I have a Rushcard and I tried to withdraw my money on payday on February 1, 2008 for 780.00 from Bank of America's Atm Machine. The machine did not dispense my money. I tried to due the transaction again, now it was insufficient funds. I didn't receive the money at all. I went inside to talk to the people at Bank of America and they said they couldn't help me, that I would have to talk to my Bank (rushcard). I called Rushcard and talked to some foreign person (which is always the case, and you can't never understand what they are saying) in which they told me that I would have to fill out some Error allegation papers which they faxed to me and I faxed back 5 times.

I have been calling Rushcard since my money was taken, and all I can get is a foreign person telling me the papers have been forwarded to their corporate offices which no one seems to have the number to. I have sent all necessary paper work, and they tell me its going to take 90 days. I feel like it didn't take 90 days or seconds for them to take my money and put it in the hold status so why can't they just give me my money back. A guy named Victor has called me twice asking me for a receipt from that day. I faxed the receipt along with the other papers, but the only receipt that Bank of America's ATM gave me only showed by balance, nothing more and nothing less. That is all I have.

780.00 might be chump change to Russell Simmons and his associates but it's a hell of a lot to a working person such as myself. I want my money back and if I don't receive my money, legal and media actions will be taken as well as the internet. People need to know about this RUSHCARD that is advertised on t.v. with the high fees, and no dispense of money. Because of this, I have surely cancelled my direct deposit. This happen 3 times to me, now your out.

The complaints below are some I found on the internet and it's a lot more people complaining. All I want is my money back that I worked damn hard for. I didn't work to give it to people that already got money

Russell Simmons should be ashamed to have his name associated with Rush Card that is a joke. I am telling everyone I know not to have anything to do with any of his companies. I have been a card holder for way too long now, every month there is a new problem. One month none of the ATMS thoroughout Florida and Georgia would take the Rush card then you cant use it at the gas pumps, you get charged $1.00 for every time you use it and 90% of the time when you call customer service or go online thier systems are down. What makes it worse is that no one there speaks english, they dont even listen to why you are calling, they just simply read from a script and dont answer your questions. I have asked them in the past if they are even listening. This is March 12, 2008 and mysteriously I have over $150.00 in gas charges that showed up on my account from November, what the hell? They are from reputable companies like 7-11 and Circle K and after contacting thier fraud division they have both agreed the problem is on Rush Card, not them. Do yourselves a favor and stay away from anything related to Russel Simmons until he personally addresses these issues!!!!!

I have beem a rushcard member for 3 years now and I am sad to say that Iam very, very ashamed to say that I have been associated with this company for as long as I have been. Recently on january 3 I went to th atm machine tried to with draw money form my account only for the machine to not dispense the cash out to me. I immediatly contacted rushcard and explained to them what had happend and was told that the money would be on back on the card in two buisness days. I waited and waited it is NOW almost four weeks later and I have not recieved my money at all. I contacted the bank atm from which I did the atm transaction from and they told me that they credited my account that following week and that rushcard had even charged them a fee for returning the money back to me. Unfortunatly I still have not recieved my money that I worked two weeks for (I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT BY THE WAY). I have faxed over the error aligation form which I had to do twice, I call rushcard twice a day when asked to speak with a manager I am put on hold for almost an hour then when I do get to speak with a manager they are no help what so ever. For some reason I can never be connected with the financial department or the president Ihave all of my recipts and everything. I am in the process of pursuing this in a legal matter so if anyone out there know of a few other good lawyers please feel free to e-mail (mizz_toya82@yahoo.com) by the way mrussell simmons if you are reading this you should be concered about this and other matters of the such seeing as you are a sokesperson for the company.

I am so glad that I found this web site, cause I have just read some very important information I need to know about your Rush Card. I thought this card woudl be great for my son, however after completing the application on line and faxing the parental concent over not once but 3 times, I have yet to get a response on the approval of the card. Today I was on the phone with 3 different people and requested to speak to a supervisor, I was on hold for so long that I hung up and was then told by a customer rep. , that they had not received the fax, after receiving 3 confirmations that it was received by the company. After reading the other complaints about the card I do not feel that this would be good for me or my son. i also feel that you or whom ever is in charge of this company should look into this matter. I would hate to think that your company is just like everyone elses. TAKING ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE.

Dear Mr Simmons,

I have been a card user of the Rush Card for 2 1/2 years , I love it had no problems. Until one day On Nov 28,2007 I went to the ATM and was unable to use my card. So I called Rush Card they said that they was having a problem with the ATM's and that it will be fixed by the end of business day , well the next day was the same problem I called Rush Card again. The lady said that I can use my card at any ATM that does not except cirrus , well all the ATMs in Maryland takes cirrus. So I tried to call back I was disconnected 15 times before reaching someone. She told me that cannot give me no information on when everything will be back up so i ask to speak with a manager she kept me on hold for almost an hour. Rush Card has poor customer service and I think it is wrong that people has gain intrest to your card and when a problem arouse such as this , they are unable to withdraw money from their account especially when bills are due at the begining of the month. I am very disappointed in rush card and my problem still has not be resolved.

Mr. Simmons, I have signed up for and received my rush card. I am dissatisfied with a couple of things. While it is a good thing to have the card so I don't have to carry a lot of money on me, it is not a good thing whenever I use my card, I am being charge a fee for using my own money. I get charged for the ATM, which is understandable. But to be charged whenever I make a purchase at the grocery store, COME ON NOW. There is a charge for everything, everytime I use my card. That is money getting away from me.

Also, I look at my statement on the 26th. It showed I had a balance of $2 plus. Looked my statement on the 27th and it showed I had a negative balance of $18 plus. I don't spend what I don't have, so how could this happen.

Well, let me explain to you the way it was explained to me. I had make purchases at 2 stores. When they didn't finalized their transactions after 2 days, I was told the money was credited back to my account. I checked and printed out my statements. No where on the printout does it show I had a credit.

Again, I don't spend what I don't have. I think it is unfair that I have this negative balance. If the merchants don't finalize their transaction in 2 days, I feel the money should still be pending on the account until they complete the transaction. Again, I don't see where it was credited back to my account. Now I have a negative balance. I can't withdraw money I don't have and get a negative balance, so why should the company take money that is pending, say they put it back and then take it again and leave me with a negative balance. I work very hard for my money and I am on a tight budget.

Your response to this matter would be greatly appreciated.

The site is www.aswhispered2.com and I have two sections about me signed R.Maurice and the other signed M.Macon. This will give you a brief feel about me and what I'm trying to do.
