Prepaid weirdness.

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone's had a prepaid card with firstpremierprepaid.co.uk? I've just got one, activated but you can't login to the account. They say it's an error that they working on but beginning to have doubts about it all.

Have you loaded any funds on to the card?

No, was gonna load via the online account. The FAQ says to cancel, phone, but when I did, she said can't do it on phone, please email.... but email was returned.... Your message was rejected by the recipient's domain because the recipient's email address isn't listed in the domain's directory.

If you haven't loaded funds, and you don't trust the platform, cut the card up. There are a host of other prepaid cards out there.

Yeah, only thing is, I was dumb and signed up before noticing there's a monthly £1 fee.

Think you should just close it then.

Proving to be easier said then done, hence my concern.

You'll just have to swallow the £1 a month until things sort themselves out. I don't know your financial situation but I'm pretty sure that won't kill you.

Yeah, just annoyed it seems such a shambolic operation!

The first thing you do when looking at a prepaid card is check the fee structure - all of them have one and it has to be published.

I have a First Premier card - got one on the off chance that it might be useful to me one day, but that day never came. Thanks for reminding me to bin it.

Have you been charged the monthly fee?
