Just thought I'd share this in case this panic happens to anyone else! Earlier today, I used an ATM (not in ED) outside a building society for a cash withdrawal and the receipt issued showed a balance figure much lower than I knew was in my account. I dashed back home to check my online account and all seemed fine. I phoned my bank,and was reassured that my account was fine, and the receipt was wrong. The woman I spoke to said that these errors happen sometimes when ATM's get old! Has this happened to anyone else?

Pam, never heard anything like this - ATM's old? Everything should tally up and receipt issued should be right. You should ask that the bank checks the ATM for any external devices/hidden cameras. Don't want to worry you but watched a programme the other night about how easy it is for gangs to make big profits from cloning/keeping card details.


PaulK if you can't help, then don't make unhelpful comments.

Thank you Minder. The woman on the phone from the bank (Halifax) took information about the machine's location to have it investigated and made sure I had logged all details of our conversation in case there were any later issues. I just found the experience very worrying and her explanation bizarre, which is why I wondered if it had happened to anyone else.

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
