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'd be calling and asking for a manager. Then, I'd demand the rush fee be returned.

Banks charge you for everything under the sun that they can. They charge you to spend your own money! Even if it is their fault they will charge you for the mistake. I've been screwed over by 3 different banks. 2 that allowed someone to take money out of my account without an approval. 1 charged me an overdraft fee for a check that should have been covered by cash that was deposited the day prior. I deal with cash only now. I work hard for every cent I earn and can't afford the BANKS mistakes. Ones that they never refunded me for.

Happened to me too. 4 weeks and they charged me with a rush fee so I complained that it wasn't exactly rushed. So I now have 2 of the same credit cards

Lol, looking at all these comments, banks work VERY differently in other parts of the world. I'm not saying banks over here won't try to charge you for anything, but at least we have very protective consumer laws.

You didn't pay the rush fee did you?
