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.

Call your bank and have them de-activate it immediately, and have them send a new one. Lost my credit card a few weeks ago. They actually overnighted a new one to me when I called.

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.

Call your bank ASAP, let them know what happened and have them shut it off. And hang in there--most banks have a protection policy for this sort of thing. You shouldn't lose any money and you'll get a new one in a few weeks. :D

You don't have a bank near you that you can withdraw money from?

Oh no! That sucks :(( I went through that last year, SUCKS. AS for having money in the meantime: if you have your account number and some ID e.g. passport you should be able to get cash out at a branch of your bank so you shouldn't be too screwed <3

Oddly enough, I too lost my debit card since saturday....last time I used it was saturday night at subway before the meetup/sleepover thing. I have since searched my whole entire room, bags, pockets, jackets, flat etc. in search and haven't found it, so I cancelled it today and requested a new one. I feel your pain, and send you a hug of understanding :o)

Hey Katia- don't know what bank you're at, but I know that with HSBC at least you can make withdrawals by cheque at the counter (ie not going to the cash machine) so your bank probably has the same facilities, worth a try anyway! xx

This sucks muchly - I know how annoyng it can be to lose your debit card. I remember how irritated I was when I lost mine - and true, I had to wait a week or so before they managed to send me a new one.

Wah. :( Is there any chance your parents could send you some money temporarily via Western Union? It'll cost a bit, but it is very fast, and it sounds like you need the money to get through the week.

*Sends love and huggles*

Argh, that doesn't sound good. But gladly you've sorted it out. =)
