Why me?

[katia]

I seem to have lost my debit card.

Last time I got money out was on Saturday, haven't used it since for anything, it is gone, hopefully lost and not stolen while I was in London because that would be even worse. I am in the possession of 85p.

What the hell do I do now? Apart from crying.

ETA I have just cancelled it, if I find it in half an hour or something I will die. It will take them 5 to 7 working days to send me a new one. They will send it to my parents' address and not here. So let's say two weeks. I need money *now*, as a student living away from home and with no cheque book I am screwed.

Have a good look around your room, bag, coat pocket, wallet, etc, and make absolutely sure it isn't there. If not, ring your bank asap and get it cancelled. The number should be on your statement. Have your bank details to hand. Alternately, grab your student ID or passport or other photo ID, and either your chequebook or latest statement, and get to the nearest branch and ask them in person.

They will cancel the card and send you another one. It will be alright.

I think I looked everywhere it could be, if it turns up I don't know what I will do.

I will get a new one, but I have no other way of getting to my money in the mean time.

Thank you.

Well, if the card turns up after you've cancelled it (and this happens a lot), then it's time to swear madly and cut the thing up when the new one does arrive.

In the mean time, your bank can probably do over the counter cash withdrawals, you'll just need to produce photo ID (passport, driver's licence or student card) and bank details (statement, chequebook) to do it. Get more cash out than you normally would, to tide you over.

I don't have any bank details here, will have to ask parents to mail a bank statement to me, but thank you so much for I am completely clueless!

Jenna’s right. It will be an absolute pain to walk with your passport in order to draw money out but if you turn up to the bank with 2 forms of ID and say that you’re waiting for your card to come through, they will pay cash over the counter.

Well I have my driving license, don't have my passport here though, was afraid I'd loose it...

Actually I went to get money out so that I can send them to you for a Gof ticket, I have called a friend who will do that for me now, but she will also get a ticket for herself, there are still spaces, right? (Ha, I suck, if I'd send you money earlier I'd find out it's missing earlier)

Yep! Have you got my address? And make sure she gets to me ny Friday :)

I do, I emailed it to her (sorry, should have asked first, but was in a panic), if she sends money today you will have to get it by tomorrow, I hope so anyway.

*butting in*

Mine is going in the post tomorrow, I swear!! How much was it again? *hides* It should get there on time though! Yes.

Also, Katia? It'll be okay honey! If you go to the bank and tell them what happened they should be really understanding. *hugs*

Heh, it will be a good lesson in surving, 10p a day will be enough to buy me...a can of beans? :D *feels better due to just meeting Terry Pratchett*
