Consumer Narrative
I received a {$15.00} prepaid debit card from a rewards company. I had about 8 months before the card expired from when I originally got the card ( summer 2020 ). Today, the card is expired and I called to get a new card with my original {$15.00}. I called the company and they said this was not possible. I told them this is required by law, and they ignored that statement. I was told to use XXXX to activate my card. The company is clearly trying to take as much money as possible from consumers.
