Best prepaid debit card

Can someone recommend a prepaid debit card
I thought they were free (after buying one for a £5 or something)
Most of them have a monthly charge or want to charge you for withdrawing!
The best one I can see is the Cash Plus - free everything (but I suspect they charge £5 to get the card)
... but I'm suspicious... everyone else charges... so why don't they!!?
Thanks

Is there a particular reason you want it? It'll probably be cheaper for you to open up a basic bank account.Credit 'Score' - Don't buy the credit 'score' that Experian, Equifax and Noddle want to sell you. It's an arbitrary number that means nothing when it comes to applying for credit.
ALWAYS HAVE A DIRECT DEBIT SET UP FOR THE MINIMUM PAYMENT ON YOUR CREDIT CARDS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU PLAN TO LOGIN AND PAY EACH MONTH.0 -
