Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian (as well as their mother, Kris Jenner) are all being sued to the tune of $75 million by Revenue Resource Group for breach of contract. The lawsuit claims the famous trio signed a two-year agreement, and the company wants them to pay for bailing on their promise to endorse the shady card. A lawyer for RRG told E! that the terminated deal, plus the negative publicity that ensued, has "effectively put this company out of business."
The Revenue Resource Group claims in their lawsuit that the Kardashians signed a two-year agreement that has left the company with the raw end of the deal since the sisters backed out – and they want compensation.
Pamela Banks, senior policy counsel for Consumers Union in Washington, D.C. said, "Tying a card to someone who is famous or wealthy can get more consumers to say, 'I want to be more like the rich and famous.
Indeed, once the government launched an aggressive investigation in November into the plan's "draconian" fees (the card reportedly cost up to $99.95 to purchase, $7.95 per month to use after the first year, $6 for customer service calls and up to $500 in penalties for lost cards), the Kardashians cut ties with the company
But prepaid debit cards do not have the same protections that traditional debit cards have, and often have hidden fees that eat away at their value."
In addition to the Kardashian sisters, their company Dash Dolls LLC and their mother, Kris Jenner, are being sued as well.
