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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 my replacement debit card in the mail after losing my previous one. I've already lost my new one. 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
Today, I found out my bank charged me $50 for not having any money. Way to go bank, way to go. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You need to switch banks

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

You should complain on their Facebook page, they don't want the bad publicity so they'll be pretty keen to show the world 'they care' and will do something about it.

Demand a refund and threaten to change banks. I dunno about in the US, but in Australia it works every time!

Well usually when you complain to the company, shit gets done. Some of you guys leave some childish comments...

No! You should go and tell them how much of a good job they're doing! Or even better... high-five them! *note the sarcasm*

Sorry to hear that OP. Maybe it's time to start using a new bank.
TurtleSmile 14
Yuck. I'm sorry to hear that, OP. Hopefully you didn't get mugged and robbed of all that straight cash you must have been carrying around.

Hey 63... 0 confirmed out of 14 posted? You also clearly graduated from TryHard University.

Banks hate money savers. They want you to spend money. Especially theirs.

6 weeks? All they had to do was change a card.
