Money: Today, I finally picked up my new bank card after my old one...

Today, I finally picked up my new bank card after my old one was stolen. It took the bank six weeks and five separate orders to figure it out, on top of which they've charged me a rush fee. FML

Today, my bank card was skimmed (copied electronically) and my account was totally cleaned out. I had only just got paid and don't get paid again for 4 weeks. The bank says it will take 21 days minimum to resolve. They offered me a credit card with a huge interest rate to help me get by. FML

Today, I received a new debit card, so I cut the old one into pieces. I then picked up my remaining card, and realized I'd cut up the wrong one. FML

Today, after my bank sent me a new card because the old one had been compromised, I woke up to find that it's already been used to start an Amazon Prime account and order several movies. The card to replace a compromised card has been compromised. FML

Today, I canceled my ATM card, because it had been lost. Then I found it. Then I found out I can't reactivate it, because I asked for a replacement card. I'm from CA, and I'm in Mexico with only 20 bucks. FML

Today, as soon as I put my card into an ATM, the words "Out of Order" popped up and it would not return my card. Since I was at the bank, I got a free replacement. Trying to draw money again the second machine did the same thing and a third card costs more than what I have in my account. FML

Today, I went to an ATM to see how much money I had in my account. I put the card in. It never gave it back. FML

Random update?

By Anonymous - 11/12/2022 18:00

Today, since it was payday, I figured I’d take my mom out for burgers. The bank also decided to do a random update on our debit card, resulting in my card declining three times. My mom ended up having to pay for our meals. So much for trying to treat my mom out to dinner. I’m still pissed. FML

Today, I had to dump my girlfriend because of tons of trust issues that kept reappearing. Shortly afterwards, my credit card disappeared and I got to experience my first identity theft. All within 24 hours. FML

You need to switch banks

It should have taken no more than 2 days. Banks are a dime a dozen - find a new one.

Perhaps change banks? At least complain to customer service and threaten to do so - they will most likely refund the rush fee.

A complaint against an American bank? I for one am shocked.

I wonder if your bank is Wells Fargo! I used to work for them and that would happen to people all the time!

Doesn't really sound like an fml, sounds like life.

Complain - I was in a very similar situation a year back and got £150 compensation. Wouldn't have helped much had I been like a business owner or something and the messing around had affected business but as a broke student I was pretty grateful. I definitely wasn't charged anything - your bank sounds kinda dickish.

Go to a credit union, apparently I'm retarded enough to loose a new card every several months during my drunken rampages. My credit union have been very kind to supply me with an unlimited amount of debit card replacement free of charge.
