Anyone ever have money mysteriously deducted from your debit account?

Can you report it online now????

Or ring up the customer service people for your bank NOW????

I wouldn't wait. If it's an unauthorized transaction I'd be wanting the bank to know about it immediately just in case your card has been skimmed.

Jeanie's right. if you use a bank with more than a few branches they should have a 1-800 24-hour customer service number

I can't get a hold of them now. The bank is closed. Even over the phone. It's Harris. They are a pretty big bank. I sent an email, but thats about all I can do now.

There must be a number that the bank has that's open for you to report it?
If you've sent an email that's good. I don't know Harris, coz we don't have them here. But an email is good. I just know even with my dodgy bank here in Oz, if there is an unauthorized transaction on my card, I can ring customer service and even have them cancel the card if I need to.

But if you've logged it with them by email, I guess get on the phone to them in the morning as soon as possible. And keep an eye over your account until you can. I suppose you've got no one with you? Just so you can prove that you're not out shopping?

No, its ok. I've had a ruff week. I'm freaking myself out. I just got a new place and have spent allot of money. I haven't had internet for a week and signing on today to see my checking account was $468 less than it should be was the icing on the cake for the day of fun I've had.

I seriously can't afford to stress myself anymore at this point. Hopefully this will be resolved in the morning.

I hate days like that! :( Just try to relax. You've sent the email. If you can't ring the bank now there's not a whole lot you can do. So I say, crack a can, or open a nice bottle of wine, have a shower, have some dinner maybe, kick back and relax. You can sort it all out in the morning with the bank.

Charles Shaw Shiraz.. $2.99 a bottle.

mmmm..... Maybe that's what I need to do? Open a bottle of something.

Yep, banks do make mistakes. I reconciled our shelter's bank account last month and they paid a check written for $118.00 for $1180.00. I hadn't seen that since the 70's or 80's, when it was actually quite common. Just a heads up for you that don't reconcile your accounts. Of course they fixed it, but if I hadn't caught it early it could have meant fees etc. that also would have needed to be fixed.

i remember looking at one of my online statements about 1 year ago and seeing some charges that i couldn't explain. i printed it out and took it to the bank. the teller asked if i had lost my card, which i hadn't.

i was filling out the dispute form when she asked if i would mind her calling the numbers that were listed after the charge. funny, i totally overlooked the numbers. i told her to go ahead...and after each number she called she started to blush a little. she's leans over and tells me they were both "sex numbers". yep, that's what she said, "sex numbers". what's even funnier is i didn't hear her the first couple times so she raised her voice loud enough that i and everybody around me could hear.

anyway, you get things taken care of?

Not $468.. no way.. anything over $20 and I know exactly what I bought.

I have a habit of dropping far too much money sometimes.

Did you call them? What did they say?
