charliebrown Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Is it just me or has anyone had a problem with cashpoints today? I went to take some money out from a supermarket today, there are 3 of them lined up next to each other, RBS, Nationwide and Barclays (Ithink). Went to first cash point, insert card pin number etc and up pops a message 'We are unable to contact your bank at the moment, dont forget your card', and no money forthcoming. Ok thinks I, lets try the next one, Exactly the same, and the third as well. I hung around for five minutes looking suspicious and about half the people who used them had exactly the same trouble. I needed some cash for my lunch so drove the 5 minutes or so to the next cashpoint and the bloke in front seemed to have a problem and then left. I went up and used it fine, no trouble at all. on my way back to the car I saw the same bloke having a bit of an argument with the cab he'd obviously just got out of, so stopped for a word and he had had the same trouble that id had earlier with both the cards hed tried. So, was it just one of those things local to St.Albans, or has anyone else had a problem today? Its not somthing Ive ever seen before so maybe a problem with phonelines linking them in this area? Before anyone asks, yes I am skint, but had enough to cover what I wanted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richie1606 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I had a problem at a cash point today also. Entered pin and asked to withdraw £20 machine gave me my card back and then the cash drawer opened and lo and behold no cash. Went through the process again and got the cash at the second attempt . Phoned the bank and and they say only £20 was withdrawn . Don't know what went wrong the 1st time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
