I did wait, and the cash was not taken back (it was only just hanging in there anyway so I doubt the machine had much purchase). I took it into the shop (not bank) the cashpoint is situated outside but they didn't seem interested in taking it, hence the post.

How come my bank statements have a record of the amount of money I have taken from ATMs, and when, then?


Forgive me for being thick :)

Sue,


It's quite simple - the statement will record that you, or someone, took the money out of the machine - but - there is no way it can record whether or not you actually took it out of the dispenser or left it there for the next person. It is not the bank's responsibility. End of.

Most interesting... will remember that it doesn't always 'suck' back in again then. I think you've done all you can - only other thing I can think of is contacting the bank that runs that cashpoint if you know which it is.


Good on you for proposing to give it to charity if not claimed though...

No, of course it won't record whether or not you took the money out! And of course it's not the bank's responsibility if someone forgets to take their money!


But what I meant was, the bank who owns the cash machine will presumably have a record of who made what transaction at what time, so that the owner of the money could be traced.

I don't think it will suck the money back in. Neither will it suck the card back in, if you leave it in the slot.


I'm not sure you'll get anywhere trying to return the money to the bank either, seeing as you don't know who the person banked with. By all means speak with the operator of the cash point, but frankly, I doubt they'll give a toss.

Excuse me for chipping in, but i found a wallet a couple of months ago on the no 40 bus (dilema). After many debates i handed it into the police exactly how it was, tried to contact the person on facebook (success....he replied) and i believe the owner and wallet are happily united now. Do with it what you hope someone would do if it was your money they had found.......which charity would you give it to if you did?? p.s sorry for being nosey.

I once left my card in a cash machine at Sainsburrys and the machine did swallow it after several minutes. So link machines do swallow cards accidently left in them.


When you withdraw money, your bank not only knows how much and when etc, it also knows WHERE you withdrew from. Every cash machine has it's own number so Sue is quite right in that with a few details a bank would be able to find the owner of the money.


I think the OP is saying thst it's one of those cash machines inside or outside a shop in which case it will be owned by a private company that supplies and maintains those machines. They would be the people to contact and they would be able to read the data from the machine to locate the bank etc. It's a bit of a hassle and probably only worth doing if the money is a significant amount I guess.

hi some cash points do pull cards and cash back in-think it just depends on the machine, ive def had it happen to me and I cntacted the bank and they returned it to me after a couple of days once machines had been counted, records checked etc. However it was a cashpoint in a bank and not one outside a shop so maybe that is the difference.


I think if you hand it in to police and its not claimed after so long it will be given back to you to keep or to donate whatever you decide to do with it, then it wouldnt be theft as it had been reported. maybe its worth taking to the station if you dont get any luck on here.

I think dano should spend many hours of his free time attempting to track down whatever idiot left the money in the machine, it is after all, his responsibility as the next person to use the machine to make sure all previous customers have taken their money/card.

Well, maybe there's two kinds of people in the world, DirtyBox.


Those who would do that, and those who wouldn't.

Not so, once inexplicably I was chatting away and walked off with my card and not my money. Thought no more of it until i went to pay for my lunch. I went back to the bank expecting nothing at all but they took my details and the amount as they tally the amounts at the end of the day. Fortunately the money was "sucked back in" and the tally showed they were over by the same amount that I "withdrew" so it was credited, so happy to say the big evil bank was actually helpful and interested.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
