Netspend - Who's Interested in a Class Action Lawsuit?

Posted by madconsumer on 2013-02-07:

what are the issues you experienced?

Posted by Whiteduck on 2013-02-07:

And why do so many people want to start up class action lawsuits? No one wins with those except the lawyers. It'll take 5 years, then you'll get a check for $.37 while the lawyers retire on the millions they made.

they have falsley added funds to an account which was not verified to collect interest, and have "lost" 3 forms of identification. on top of lie after lie about when the card would be activated. 50 different people with 50 different stories. that's fraud, neglegence, and identity theft.

I personally just filed my taxes with Turbo Tax and used the third party ,NetSpend to allocate the funds. I am currently waiting for the arrival of my card with my tax refund loaded . In the event I don't receive my card or any issues surface with NetSpend . I'm in for the class action lawsuit

I am moving forward with a class action suit threw the IRS against them starting Tuesday. I work for a law firm and it is rather easy to do the paperwork yourself. you need a 14157-A form and 14157 form threw the IRS

I wish i would have used my bank for my tax refund i used the card as credit on a purchase of 294 and was charged 46 dollars in fees no bank that i know charge outrageous prices. My insight card was better than this scam of a card oh well lesson learned i would never put money on this card not even my tax return.

Im in made a purchase an canceled my order three weeks ago. The vendor (best buy) relinquished the hold on my funds rhe day after the order was canceled. Net spend will not give my money back.. spent hours on the phone begging to talk to somebody who speeks English. I am not going to loose my 755.00 dollars!

I am so in for a lawsuit against netspend. They are robbing me blind!!! $5.00 fee for this. $1.00 fee for that. A limit to how much of MY money I can take off MY card. I can withdraw a certain amount per day and an additional fee every time I use the ATM. Worst card ever!!!

Would gladley enter into a lawsuit with them. refuse to lift my"fraud protection" block on my card no matter what I send them. I send what they ask. They reply insufficient every time. They are complete scam artists.

Did you hear they are being bought out by a company called TSS or Georgia-based Total System Services Inc. (NYSE: TSS). http://www.bizjournals.com/austin/news/2013/02/27/netspend-shareholder-files-lawsuit-to.html

I am switching my stuff as soon as I possibly can to my Wells Fargo account. I'll just have to wait 2 days to get paid.

They advertise you can get your money five days early. That's just a lie in the commercial just to get people sign up for their card. Then they tell you the check wasn't mailed out yet. But even a 10 year old knows that from the IRS to Social Security sends all checks out on computer disks for direct deposits the no longer send paper checks. I agree everybody who has dealt with Netspend should file a class action suit and close their Netspend accounts down.

I signed up for this card today and then decided to check out the credibility of Netspend. I am shocked at thee amount of theft and fraud these people are getting away with. If you need more fodder for the class-action lawsuit check out this site for 25 pages of complaints against them. http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/directory/netspend

Thank you all for posting this and saving me a huge headache.
