Title: ATM crap... has this happened to anyone else?
Post by: Pugnate on Wednesday, May 19, 2010, 08:04:23 AM
I went to the HSBC machine here to withdraw cash I needed to make a shipment. At first I heard the machine whirling in the background like normal, and I got a receipt telling me the transaction had gone through. But then I got NO cash and then another receipt telling me the transaction had been canceled.

I just now logged into my HSBC account, and the money has been debited, even though I obviously didn't get the cash. 

The only problem is that I was withdrawing a lot of money so it isn't something I want to lose.

Wow, I would be pissed. I've never heard of that happening. You should contact your bank asap.

Yes, contact the bank, immediately if not sooner.  Have both receipts ready.

As recommended, contact the bank and tell them exactly what happened.

I have had this happen once.  I can't remembered the details but it worked out fine and was relatively hassle free if I remember.  I think in my case it was only like $40 though.

Do you remember going to the bank or was it automatic? I've logged into HSBC and filed a complaint, but my dad had this happen to him and his thing was sorted automatically.

As for the amount, it was about $400.

I called the bank seconds after it happened and they said they could tell exactly what ATM it was and read the ATM error code (even though I didn't see one) and refund the money back into my account. I had the atm serial number and my receipts ready but they didn't need anything from me.

They'd also have video footage of you at the ATM sobbing like a little girl

It was a very long time ago, but I believe I went to the bank a day or two later and they told me it was already logged. Can't remember if they just put the cash through right away or if I had to wait a couple of days.

I know you are joking, but it reminds me of something I have to stop doing.

Whenever I go to the ATM and see the camera staring at me, I feel like I have to entertain whomever may be watching as I wait for my cash.

Sometimes I lick my lips really slowly. Sometimes I make kissy faces. Once, I did that crane kick maneuver thing from the Karate Kid.

OH GOD I AM NEVER GOING TO GET MY MONEY BACK!

So I went there and they told me they had already caught the mistake and that the money would be back in the account in a few days.
