Has you seen the Urelife debit card? no fees, plus a proof of age component that includes a picture of yourself on the card.

your welcome

Hi

I went onto the FSA website earlier but I did ring Consumer Direct who advised nothing could be done but to wait. After several phone calls at 80p minute I finally received an e-mail telling me all was resolved. I will be looking to change and thank you for the information, it has been very helpful.

i am sorry to hear of your troubles

Virgin do a charge of 2.95%

Tuxedo 50p min £1.50 max and beteen the the to amounts is 2.95%

Hi

I got a pre-paid debit card from NDCS Charity Champions, great to use or so I thought. I loaded £80.00 onto it this week and the money should have been on the following day. The next day I got an e-mail from them stating as I loaded money onto it at a Post Office they are currently experiencing financial difficulties and have no idea when it will be resolved.

I am now £80 down until they sort it and I can't do anything about it. This particular card can be used for abroad and in the UK but I wouldn't recommend loading your money on through the Post Office, it also deducts 20p each time you ise it which goes to the Childrens Deaf society. If you load at a paypoint they charge 3% but if you can wait for the money it is free to go through telephone banking or standing order.

I have heard tuxedo and virgin do a better deal although you have to pay £10 initially to get it, though I am tempted to scrap the idea completely if they don't resolve the error soon.

Hope this helps
