I sent the Prodigal Son out last night to fill up my car and pick up food for us to eat. He called me while he was out to say my debit card had been rejected at the store and it had also been rejected at the bank's ATM machine. He came back home and I sent him out with a credit card to get the stuff.
I immediately got online to check my account and everything looked fine. I assumed there was just some sort of glitch and things would be fine.
This morning, on my way to work, I stopped to pick up breakfast and my debit card was rejected again. This time, the clerk said it had been rejected because it had been reported lost/stolen. It obviously wasn't lost or stolen since I had it in my hot little hands.
I called the bank. One of the merchants where I shop had their database hacked into and reported the intrusion. My bank immediately canceled my debit card and I will have a brand new one in 7 to 9 days. I'm not sure how I will survive without my trusty debit card. I'm not sure I even remember how to write a check.
;D

Glad you got to the bottom of it right away and got the card cancelled. But 7-9 days is a long wait.
that's better than having the bank permanently close on a Friday without telling anyone. Good thing it was back on Monday under a "new" name. Yep they sold it
That happens all the time down there. My folks have been thru that a couple of times already with the bank they use.
But, by golly, it really has become very inconvenient not having the debit card to use. I discovered yesterday there was no place in town for me to cash a simple $20 check.
I want my debit card back! Wah!
