New
York
(ANI):
Kim
Kardashian
and
her
sisters
have
cut
their
association
with
a
prepaid
debit
card
after
it
was
railed
by
government
officials
and
consumer
advocates
for
high
fees.
In
a
letter
to
The
Revenue
Resource
Group,
which
created
the
card,
lawyers
for
the
Kardashians
said
they
were
terminating
the
agreement
after
it
was
brought
to
their
attention
that
the
card
could
violate
consumer
protection
laws,
reveal
a
rep
for
the
sisters.
Connecticut's
attorney
general
wrote
a
letter
to
the
debit
card
company
last
week,
warning
he
planned
on
investigating
if
the
card
did
violate
state
laws
or
the
Dodd-Frank
Act,
a
federal
law
implemented
to
protect
consumers
from
abuse
by
the
financial
services
industry.
The
prepaid
debit
card,
which
sported
a
picture
of
Kim,
Kourtney
and
Khloe
on
the
front,
cost
nearly
100
dollars
in
fees
for
12
months,
in
addition
to
1.50
dollars
ATM
fees.
"The
terms
disclosed
to
Dash
Dolls
in
no
way
suggested
or
implied
that
the
Product
might
violate
any
law,
rule
or
regulation," the
New
York
Daily
News
quoted
the
Kardashians'
lawyer
as
saying.
Perhaps
more
importantly
to
the
curvaceous
trio,
the
bad
publicity
was
damaging
the
brand
that
the
fun-loving
socialites
had
created
through
their
numerous
products,
endorsements,
appearances
at
parties
and
numerous
reality
shows,
their
lawyer
argued.
"The
Kardashians
have
worked
extremely
long
and
hard
to
create
a
positive
public
persona
that
appeals
to
everyone,
particularly
young
adults," he
wrote.
"They
have
been
successful
in
doing
so
because
they
are
recognized
as
honest,
ethical,
and
fun-loving
individuals
who
are
kind
and
caring
to
others.
Unfortunately,
the
negative
spotlight
turned
on
the
Kardashians
as
a
result
of
the
Attorney
General's
comments
and
actions
threatens
everything
for
which
they
have
worked," the
lawyer
added.
