Slept on the street because Tymebank blocked my account
I am stuck in a town that is almost 300km away from home. I don’t have family who can help me temporarily and no friends who can borrow me cash, and sadly Tymebank is the only account I use mainly. The bank didn’t even notify me in advance that my account is on a debit hold. Which means that I can’t do anything on the banking app or use my card. I am so frustrated and I don’t know what would be of me tonight because I don’t have money to book a room or to go somewhere safe. I totally regret using TymeBank, this bank is just a curse right now. I am stranded, I have sufficient money but I can’t use it. It’s just a ****ing disaster, I am so scared right now because it’s getting dark. This is so stupid and inconsiderate of the bank to decide to just block you from accessing your money. Mind you, just a month ago, my debit card just suddenly stopped working on the ATMs and when I called the bank, they took two weeks to investigate and resolve the matter, only to find out that after they said it was resolved, I couldn’t still withdraw cash and I couldn’t use my debit card on the tills. Now the bank tells me that I need to get a new card that would set me back 70 bucks and it is their ****ing fault that my debit card just stopped working and I have to be the one to pay for their technical faults. And here I am now, having not learned my lesson to close my account with Tymebank, it got worse, they held my own money from me. Tonight I will experience sleeping on the side of the road or perhaps in a park, I don’t know. And it’s all thanks to Tymebank. I am so ****ing angry, soooo ****ed off, because wow I can’t believe that I am sleeping in the streets.
