There goes my four dollars.. Just wanna let you know that i have been slowly been processing my requirements. in case i get hired from the job, i would be easy for me to give the following requirements. trouble is i didn't asked mom for money this time, i thought things are gonna get better.not until the damn atm ate my money but i got the card. i send a complain but i was in a hurry to have my POLICE CLEARANCE Process. Damn it! then, i had to withdraw two dollars again just to make it back home. ihave paid for the reciet but not for the processing yet.am going back. What a day...

I stopped using ATM's years ago. I found I was getting too much in debt.

if you prefer the credit card, then that's good.

Too bad that you were not able to get that money. I'm not sure what bank you've withdrawn the money but it may take two weeks before you get the money again. I do hope that you also get a job soon!

hello Anne, two weeks is a long time but i am not rushing that much. it's not good to rush things that i might forget the important things. as for you, good luck with your new job. am doing something finally. i don't know my chances but i will do try my best.

Hi Letran, Well some days are just worse than others, probably this day is one of those. At least you have your card. I hope you get your money back now.

Hello dory, I still don't know. but my pay out is coming so it doesn't matter. besides, my mom would still support me, i just wanna do it in my own money for just old times sake. yeah, what a bad luck but i learned my lesson, i would look into the balance first before i make the withdrawal.

That's too bad. But when this has happened to me, I immediately went inside the bank branch where I had withdrawn my money and immediately filed a complaint. The next day, they gave me my ATM Card back. If your ATM Card was captured by a a mall ATM Machine, you should go to the Bank Head Office and just get a card replacement. If it is just money that you have lost, just call your bank and file a complaint. The money will still come back to you but it will just take a long time before you really get it back. Hope this helps.

Hello Lea, I actually got my card, what i didn't get was the money from it. i hope i am wrong or so much for my four dollars worth. but i did experience my card being eaten by atm, because it was the first time i used it but i didn't get the card quickly that the atm took it. few days later i got back from the bank that was in charge of the ATM. as for this case, i don't know.

Sh!tty things happen when we least expect it or we are really hoping for something not to happen. Don't give up though because you never know there might be a surprise for you in the end

Hello Hexe, yeah, i should have been more attentive to my instinct but i was kinda dumb when i was other card holders are waiting too long for their money to come out. or i should have at least check the balance first, so that i would have had evidence of what's the real balance inside the card.

That happened to me once! It was Valentine's Day and I was in Laguna. I plan on spending the day with my girlfriend so I tried to withdraw money from my account. When the card and the money got out, I took the card first then placed it inside my wallet. Then when I was about to get the money, the atm took it back! I was really frustrated that time. Luckily, my best friend lent me some money so I was able to get to Manila. But I didn't file any complaints though, I just thought I would report the incident the next day. So I checked my account the next day, and before I even reported it my money was back. Maybe you'll get yours soon?

Hello Jerik, I hope you're right. this is close as i can see in regards to having a solution, maybe i shouldn't report it now.but in any case, i would still be lucky since pay out is coming this month from this site. i don't know, maybe my balance is really that low but i do remember it to have been almost into six dollars.
