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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

You need to switch banks

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

I'm sure you can dispute the charges. I always dispute my late fees and never have a problem getting it taken off. (: Worth a try!

Wait..? Why would you ever pay the shipping fee?

Dispute the fees since it was their fault. If that doesn't work you should change banks, try a credit union.

I've been with BofA 5 years... They're pretty good.

I used to work for and bank with BofA. Even I think they suck ass because of all the bullshit in their policies. They care about money, and getting as much of it out of you as they can. They have ridiculous fees for absolutely everything. I'm much happier with the smaller bank I use now.

I agree with the other commenters definitely look for a new bank. And try calling their customer support, tell them that you want to talk to a manager or supervisor and ask them to get rid of the fees, that's just ridiculous!

Didn't bank on the extra fees did you. I'd change if I were you. Check around and see, then deposit that new card in the trash.
