Prepaid Card (Escape)

Hi,

I have a pre-paid mastercard which I don't want anymore.

Unfortunately the company has an 'exit' fee as well as the usual inactivity fees.

My question is, if I spend all the money on it (set the pre-paid balance to zero) what happens to their charges? Can they then send me a bill for the incurred charges, or do these charges only apply to positive balances?

Thanks!

    I also have one of these Escape cards that I don't use. Takes so long for transferred money to be credited onto it, that I never managed to pay for a RyanAir flight using it (the original reason I got it), lol.

    What did you decide to do in the end bonsoirbonsoir? I've looked at the T&C, but I can't see anything about whether the dormancy fee can or cannot take me "overdrawn".
    Can't post link, but T&C can be found at
