Deflated

[jazzy_dave]

So i went to my bank in Faversham and apparently it was the debit card but it amounts to the same thing as having money out of the bank when you did not authorize it.

I also contacted the head office of my bank. They will only be able to action it once the offending and pending payment has gone through. Then tomorrow i will have to phone them up and action a claim from which they will be able to reverse it and put a claim in on my behalf ... and so on.

Hopefully back to normal tomorrow. But right now i just feel a bit deflated.

That's a hard thing to have to deal with! Do they know who tried to take $$ w/o your permission??

I've had this happen to me before - it's annoying, but eventually you'll get your money back.

Banks are such a PIA. :o
They can never make any thing easy. UGH.......
I hope things are straightenedout tomorrow for you.

I hope so because my net payment will not be till the last week of the month.

"They will only be able to action it once the offending and pending payment has gone through."

I remember having a similar problem once. I asked the bank why they couldn't just do a stop payment and they said "We aren't able to do that". I asked, "Why not? It's your bank."

They didn't have an answer for that one. But they still didn't do a stop payment, either.

Good luck!

I make it a point to never use my debit card for anything other than ATM transactions. I use a credit card for my purchases. I don't get charged because I pay the CC weekly.

I don't see why they have to wait until the transaction goes through.
