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.

One of the worst! They allowed someone to take money out of my account without an approval. Then charged me 3x's for overdraft. And they continued to allow this to happen even after going to the bank and putting a hold on the account. They said that all I could do was pay for it. Wtf?!

Aye Bank of America. I got the same bloody thing, rushed fee after they sent it to several wrong addresses including an ex girlfriends... the er same ex-girlfriend that once tapped one of my bank accounts. Then of course a 25$ rush fee was addded to it all.

Maybe six weeks is fast for them?

I understand how you feel, but when you're actually doing the work, people procrastinate :p 'due tomorrow, do tomorrow'

Chase strikes again

OMG, i had the same problem with Chase when i upgraded my account and they wanted to send me a new card. Three weeks later and 5 phone calls no card so i asked if i could continue using the same card i had been using, they said yes and never bothered to send me another. Meanwhile they seem to be able to send statements and junk mail to the right mailbox. I'd switch except i travel often and its the only bank i can find in almost any state. Anyway, now you have the card.

Call your bank and theyll reverse the fee if you explain that it took 6 weeks

I can't say I'm surprised that you were still charged for that. Banks won't do anything unless they're lining their own pockets in the process.
