Paid £80 into my account this morning as I need to buy something online...
On my way home from work, i went to an ATM to check that the money had gone in before ordering my things
However, when i enquired about my balance, the machine froze! It then proceeded to reboot and come back on, but it still had my card.
Rang the number on the machine and basically got an idiot on the other end who did nothing to put my mind at ease!
It was 3.30pm, so i flew the bank (not literally haha) to explain what had happened
a new card will be sent to me within 7 days (hope so as its only 12 until the final delivery date for what i want to order )
I suppose its more of a rant than a question...any1 else ever had this happen? Does it actually take 7days or do they just say that to cover their own backs?
What are the chances of my card being spat out after i left?
I'm worrying so much, I feel sick
Nice time of year for it to happen huh?x

The 7 days thing varies, it's what they've always always said to me, and I've got them 2 days later, or 2 weeks later.
i could cry
I think sometimes they say 7 working days or whatever to cover themselves, fingers crossed you get it soon!
cheers for all the input guys

:yes: It's the same with a lot of things tho. They'll be sent out first class pretty much straight away, but if there's tonnes of workload (i.e. when there's a massive rush of people going 'I spent more money than I had and you charged me £30, give it back' [not that im for the charges, just that some people really have no clue on their own finances...]) then there could be a queue of maybe 500 cards before yours to be sent out.
If you need cash you can take ID to the bank and withdraw it there

A mate of mine's had a card swallowed on Christmas Eve 2005 at an Abbey bank. That took more than a week simply due to Christmas Day, Boxing Day and NYD all being bank holidays, delaying the process.
Not really, it'll be blocked as a collected card.
i know all those things off by heart, but as mist said, the card will be blocked now as i have reported it to the bank
