Cash Machine

[Bazile]

Have you ever made a withdrawal from a cash point , where you know that it is not giving a cash withdrawal receipt ?

[davebro]

I don't usually get a receipt anyway.

[davebro]

they only end up littering the floor around the machine!

[piggynose]

Yeh many a time!

[barry1010]

Yes

[Bazile]

So what if an incorrect , amount is shown on your statement later ?
You have no proof of what you took out

I can understand if you didn't realise it was not giving receipts -but why would you use one knowing it wasn't giving receipts ?

[Prudie]

I've never ever asked for a receipt.

[barry1010]

I've never taken a receipt, never had a problem. I can't see that the receipt would help - if you asked for £100 the receipt would show £100 even if the machine gave you £50.
The withdrawal shows on my app almost immediately

[chelle7272]

I never get a receipt, it shows immediately in online banking. The receipt is not proof of anything, even if the cash amount is wrong, there would only be your word for it.

[davebro]

I rarely draw cash these days - almost always pay by card. I've had the same 35 quid in my wallet for about 6 months.

[THECORBYLOON]

BAZILE, if the receipt showed a different amount from what was requested, why would the software not deduct the same amount from your account?

Has an incorrect amount ever shown up on your account?

[ToraToraTora]

yes, all the time I never ask for a receipt, in fact it's one of the annoying things about cash machines, receipts littering near by. Why would you want a receipt?

[Hopkirk]

What's cash?

[ToraToraTora]

these days I hardly ever even log in to my bank, it's all automatic. I can't comprehend how people obsess about all this stuff, gawd there was someone on here the other day saying they pay their lecky bill by cheque! Un-kin-believable.

[ToraToraTora]

hoppy, cash=bangers and mash! It's what you need when the card machine stops working in the battle cruiser!

[Peter Pedant]

Pay gas and lecky by cheque
Yup
British Gas by themselves stopped sending me letters and charged me by email - and then said - "you're late! that is an extra £20 !"
which like a tit I paid - and checked with my next paper bill
( Karen mcClintock please note)
and I wasnt !

They had just whacked £20 on - because they thought I would be late ! So I clawed it back, and they did it again
( assuring me KC that she gave the highest possible level of service)
Then they put £80 in a suspense account because they didnt know the cheque was from me ( they said)[you may have to think about that one] - oh yes defaulted again....

Cheques are the only way to deal with this lot.

[Peter Pedant]

I have never known an ATM to be wrong
card eaters yes
but 20 shown as 100 - never.

so always seems to fail in a safe condition.

> So what if an incorrect , amount is shown on your statement later?

That's never happened to me. Let's suppose you got a receipt though, for the amount you asked for, but the cash you got was less than that amount? What would you do? (BTW that's never happened to me either)
