So I just had three $200ish charges show up in my checking account originating in Mesa, AZ. I do not live in Mesa, AZ. I live in Dayton, OH.
My debit card is expiring next month and it looks like something bad happened with the issuing of my new card. I called my bank and they canceled and re-issued and all that, but what the hell, people. The card wasn't even activated and somehow it went through?
Whoever done stoled my info went on a small-minded shopping spree at Wal-Mart and Champs Sports. I suppose at Champs they got themselves some hot new kicks or whatever it is the kids are doing these days. Possibly the $200 charges at Wal-Mart were for some expensive chew or possibly generic-branded butter cookies. I can't think of what else they have at Wal-Mart.

Anyone want a cookie?
Something similar happened to me a few months back. I started getting charges for all these online games. One company refused to refund the charges, and I had to go through all these hoops for my bank. Booo.
she wrote her phone number on all of the stolen checks, it took the police about an hour and a half to find and bust her
she was found to also be on probation, and asked me whether I was going to be pressing charges
t Jermaine: did you?
I called the bank within 8 hours of losing the card, filed all my claims and 2 weeks later I got some forms in the mail.
I filled them out, and mailed them back with assurances that my money would be returned as soon as they got them back.
A month later I get a phone call from a banker asking me to repeat all of the details of my original claim, so I oblige and repeat everything for the third time.
Early February rolls around and I still haven't gotten my money, and I receive yet another stack of forms to fill out.
At this point I called and explained to the customer service manager that this level of service was unacceptable, and the only reason I wasn't raising hell was because it was such a trivial amount of money. But when I asked if this were the same process I'd be forced to follow if I'd lost say, $2000 she said that it was.
At this point I was promised that if I faxed the paperwork back they'd get moving on it as soon as possible.
So when I faxed it back I also sent it to their CEO's fax number (thank you hoovers.com), their VP of customer services fax, and the customer service manager's fax. Attached was a letter explaining all my various issues over the years, and why they suck complete donkey ass.
The next day I got my money back, then walked into my local branch and closed my account.
A week later I got a personal apology letter written (or at least signed) by the CEO.
Fuck you Wells Fargo.
Man, I had to dispute a charge once with my Wells Fargo account and all I did was call a number and say "hey, this charge isn't mine." and then it went away.
honestly, because she was on probation, it didn't even matter
she was going down
also, she went about it in such a laughable way, spending 95 dollars at a local pizza hut and another 75 dollars on beer
I still have a copy of all the checks she wrote, they are hilarious

I stole your credit card number when you bought me pizza

i was trying to find the blingeed version but i couldn't find it
Hey guess what! I turned my Wii on for the first time in 5 weeks last night!
I didn't add your code.
I find when dealing with customer service just saying 'hey, this aint going nowhere. can you give me the phonenumber of your CEO please. oh what was your name again...' gets things moving along really fuckin quick.
Done this with Halifax and HSBC when my accounts have been fucked up. Honestly its fuckin magic.
Man, years ago when I was temping I was getting paid weekly, so I went and cashed my check on Friday. Monday night I checked my account and the money was there, so I started writing checks for all my bills.
Wednesday I'm at the comic shop picking up my weekly haul and my debit card is declined.
I go home and check my bank account, and it's in the negative. A quick perusal of my account history shows an automatic withdrawal on Tuesday night, in the exact sum of my paycheck from Friday.
After seven hours on the phone it was determined that Wells Fargo lost my physical check after having added the money to my account, and decided to pull the money back out of my account.
Which means I bounced my rent check, my car payment, and all of my utilities that month.
The worse part is that they never apologized, and never offered to fix the situation. The temp agency I was working at had to cut a second check just so I could afford gas for my car.
Seriously. Fuck Wells Fargo.

THAT'S THE LAST TIME I BEG YOU TO BUY ME PIZZA
Man, I haven't found a bank I've been completely happy with yet. Chase is okay but their interest rates suck.
With Hoovers.com you can just look them up, and then bullshit your way past their secretaries. (I usually claim to be returning a call from <insert name or company here>'s office.)
It works about 80% of the time, and is the reason my last company had a free security and support subscription from Sonicwall.
i cancelled my contract with my mobile phone company but because i rarely checked my transactions it took me three months to notice they kept charging me
so i called the company and said ''why god why, you just cost me £240'' and the person on the phone said ''oh, yeah, i can see you tried to cancel but the person never actually put it through. okay, done, it's cancelled. no refunds! thanks!''
just like fucking that
this is why i should've gotten it
is 240 pounds a lot of money? I'm not good at exchange rates
noooooooooooooooo
His was for an erroneous charge though, mine was a lost/stolen card, so that might make it different.
if criminals want to rummage around in my compost for shreds of paper and then painstakingly stitch it back together to find out my name and number, then they can have it, they deserve my money.

Jeebus crisp, weaver, what the hell? Just didn't feel like doing your taxes for the last 3 years?
Now, he has gone through them all with a solicitor and is claiming banking fees that were incorrectly charged back, as in the bank charged him when they shouldnt have.
All in all he is going to get about £16,000 back, just from these small £20 fees here and there every month or so.
From what I hear, a huge amount of people are doing this now in Britain and its gonna cost the banks billions.
He's putting it towards an Ariel Atom (which I got to drive about a month ago, I think I mentioned it. Was absolutely amazing)
Their online banking is weird - debit card charges will initially show up for about 24 hours, then disappear for about a week. This completely skews the use of online banking to check your balance. I end up just writing every transaction down when I use my card, which kinda deters the convenience factor.
I kept owing and being broke & almost homeless right around tax time.
