Top Class Actions viewers are starting to receive checks in the mail from a class action settlement that accused RushCard prepaid debit card processing companies of causing account holders to experience a lengthy service disruption in October 2015.
According to reader comments, Class Members who submitted timely and valid claims for the RushCard class action settlement began receiving checks worth as much as $100 on Dec. 27, 2016.
If you filed a claim for the RushCard service disruption settlement, keep an eye on your mailbox because checks are on their way!
The RushCard settlement resolves allegations that prepaid debit account holders were without access to their funds from Oct. 12, 2015 to Oct. 31, 2015.
Initially, prepaid debit cardholders were told that the service disruption would be “brief,” but plaintiffs claim that the unusually long suspension left them without access to their funds.
A class action lawsuit was filed by RushCard account holders who claimed that not having the ability to pay for basic needs such as food, gas, or rent was an unnecessary burden.
RushCard processing companies including UniRush LLC, Rush Communications LLC, Rush Communications of NYC Inc., Meta Financial Group Inc., MetaBank, and MasterCard Incorporated denied any wrongdoing but agreed to pay $20.5 million to resolve the litigation against them.
Class Members included all RushCard cardholders with an open account as of Oct. 12, 2015 and who had authorized the use of that account at least once between July 14, 2015 and Oct. 12, 2015.
The deadline to file a claim for the RushCard prepaid debit card settlement passed on Aug. 30, 2016.

Lmk when we get another suit going! Tired of their bs.
I am sick and disgusted at your organization RUSH CARD. You have your name proudly attached to a fraudulent organization. Crucks, thieves. I was defrauded out of $700 and Ur incompetent employees in a maked up resolution team stated that I am not eligible to get my money back. This may be a small amount to you. However, I am a poor single mother of 3 children. I can hardly make ends meet. I NEED MY MONEY BACK. I HAVE HAD MY LIGHTS DISCONNECTED BECAUSE OF THIS. I HAVE TO BEG FOOD BANKS FOR FOOD BECAUSE OF THIS. I AM PISSED AT BEST. I CONTACTED RUSH CARD AND SPOKE WITH “GELLO” YES THAT IS HIS NAME SO HE SaysThis is sick at best. I am depressed at the least. I need to get caught up on my rent because of the fraudulent things that goes on with your company. I know that this never going to reach and even if it does you would not give a rats ass about my poor ass with children to support. Shame on you and your organization. I will post this as a comment on your page for everyone to see… U can’t imagine how much I am hurting right now… Shame on you all.
Rushcard allowed someone to steal my Ssi check back in May of 2017. The amount of $1200 was stolen I filed a police report with Topeka police dept . Filed a claim and then they canceled my account and never rebursed me of my stolen money. Can an attorney please give me a call at 612-385-1582.
I did have a rushcard a few years back. Had trouble with funds being available when they should have been. I moved so do not know if a settlement was sent to me or not.
I had RushCard for years I went to my bank TD Bank in Connecticut withdraw my money out of my account from the teller the transaction approve and then it stopped so I called RushCard over and over the lines were all tied up because everybody was complaining about their money being taken from out of their accounts 800 was never returned back to my account but it made it look like if I had no complications but it was approved and declined as it were trying to process my money never received the money back at RushCard call them numerous of time and they said I have received the money and which I did and I will get God direct deposit with RushCard so on there and it looks like if I had no complications among other people that complained as well
Rush card stole my money. I cancelled a bill pay and never recieved my money back. I never got the $100 check either. Someone help me.
You need to contact the settlement administrator to inquire about the status of your claim: http://www.rushsettlement.com/. There is an email address available: RushSettlement@angeiongroup.com.
What happens if you never received the check because you moved out of state and it was not forwarded?
I never ed received my settlement check. Claim Number:
*R8424884*
I think Rushcard is a fraud to a certain degree. I have had a fraudulent company take over a 100.00 off of my card and my friend have also. We complained to Rushcard and they found out the company was fake and they would not give me my money back. I am disabled and my check is only enough for me to pay my monthly bills and I told Rushcard that and they did not care. I would not recommend Rushcard to any one. Is there a lawsuit against that.
So is there another lawsuit going on that might cover what is happening to me right now. I used a referral code to sign up and I was supposed to ge t $30 once I added the activation fee of $3.95. I added the money on DEC.18th 2016. I have called many times and they said it can take up to 30days. No where does it state that, just that you have to add the fee then you get it. Well now its Jan. 21st 2017 still no $30 added from them and now they are saying that I have to know if the persons code I used has an accurate phone number. In the many times I called they told me everything was done right and that it could just take up to 30 days, now that its past the 30 day mark and they obviously have not done their part they are blowing smoke up my tushy to cover their tracks .I have also given out my referral code and have had over 9 people use it and activate their cards but have yet to get the $30 for referring them. So they put out this promotion to get you to sign up under them under false pretenses and collect fees from everyone and charge fees per transaction. They are just making money off of us.
