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.

      It took the Tories 14 years to dig that 20bn blackhole. It's taken Labour 14 months to double it.  You cant get rid of Reeves though because the next person will actually be totally incompetent. There are no MPs in Labour capable of performing better than the current shower.

      Thanks P. That sounds like a bargain compared to other horror stories I've heard!

      DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?
