The Day Before Christmas

And all through the house, not a creature was stirring and I lost my damn wallet. I lost my wallet and wasn't able to buy gifts for anyone, had all my shit in it. Not to mention that someone has already used my credit card for a $300 purchase and I can't call the credit company because it's now Dec 25th...
 
I didn't know they celebrated Christmas in India.

Seriously though, you should try the hotline number for your cards because I was under the impression they were 24/7/365. If nothing else, there may be an automated service that can freeze your card.

Sorry to hear about your wallet.
 
I recently lost my wallet with everything but my debit card in it. AAA card, driver's license, $100+ cash, insurance card, gift cards, not to mention all my important business cards, and my cherished Los Angeles Public Library card.

Long story short, I feel ya bro :sad:
 
The only way I'll lose that much stuff is if my pants fall off and I don't notice. I haven't worn a wallet in about a couple years, or more. I just keep my debit card, drivers license, and whatever cash I happen to have on me in my pockets.

Using a wallet is like putting all your eggs in one basket. Drop the basket, or lose the wallet, and you won't have much left.
 
You think your life sucks? Get this,


I put a check in an ATM after banking hours cause I couldn't make it on time to the bank before they closed (18th Dec). Next day was Friday, a working banking day so I was hoping they'll get it and on the 23rd, the funds would be available.

23rd, I checked in the ATM and it only offered me a small amount of money compared to what I put in... so WTF??? Anyway, I made a payment to the credit card company with the small amount hoping the rest would be there next day (BIG FUCKING MISTAKE).

24th, check hasn't cleared, I talked to the bank manager and he couldn't explain why it hasn't cleared. (DAMN, No groceries, no food, couldn't buy my meds at the chemist, my back fucking hurts, can't call because my phone is suspended pending payment). Life is a bitch?

25th, desperate, hungry and fucking raging. Friends rang up and greeted merry fucking christmas. Yelled back at them saying I'm in the shit. Damn good mates came to the rescue with food pack and all... Hauled me and gave me a feed.

26th, looked at my account again and still no money. Mates lent me $50. Bought some essentials to make it for a couple of days.

27th, looked again and not a fucking cent. Called my mates and they said I should ring up the banking ombudsman and make a complaint. Food drop again. THERE IS A GOD!!!

28th, this has got to stop now, cause my back really needs a fix and I can't keep this waiting all the fucking time.... NOPE. not there yet.

29th, letter in hand, went to the bank. Bank manager recognized me he looked at what's going on. I showed him receipts and we crosschecked transactions, and WTF??? Still not there. Bank manager sais to contact the manager on the branch where I deposited the check. It's closing time so I think I won't catch him.

30th, FINA-FUCKING-LY... IT'S THERE (less what I paid the CC)!!! BUT WTF??? Someone poked my account on the 28th two hourse after I checked if I have money. This is outrageous. TOOK all my money out but left a cheeze to bait the rat. Manager at the branch is shocked to find out herself.

Not banking with the wankers anymore.
 
If you have a problem with the ATM that is outside the branch, you should have gone to the people who maintain it, not the bank.

The only time a bank maintains an ATM that has it's name on it is when the ATM is inside the branch itself. Banks do not maintain drive-up ATM's. Whoever their armored courier is handles it.

And what do you mean by "poked"?
