I was in Vancouver last week and pulled some cash out of the TD ATM and noticed my balance was off. I went to the teller and some motherfu*ker withdrew over 700 dollars from my account. She called the fraud department and they told me it was taken out from a instabank atm in Casino Rama Barrie! and this is while I was in B.C
The man from the fraud department told me it will take 3-4 business days to get the funds back but its day 5 and its still not back yet so I called this morning and the woman told me its a minimun of 2 weeks! She told me she doesnt know why the man told me 3-4 business days. She also said if they decide not to deposit the funds back into my account they will notify me with a letter as to why they cant.
I think this is BS and I was wondering if anyone has a similar experience. Did you get your money back? |

1200 dollars for me a few months ago. Waited over a week for the refund while NSF's were happening in my account for bill payments being bounced left and right. The bank ended up wiping their NSF charges but the payees didn't. So I was out about 80 bux from the ordeal.
Bummer dude |

sometimes it takes up to 10 business days
usually resolved without a problem so don't worry too much
I think it's the CC fraud is 50/50 on that |
