Leaving money behind in an ATM machine

kumate_champ07 · 19-06-2010 10:17PM #1

Thats what I did today, took the card but not the money, when I was at the checkout I ran back outside but obviously it wasnt still there. (my mind was elsewhere at the time)

it's gotta have happend to other people, do I just contact my bank and give them details of atm location and time and they will refund me? or if some guy just took it Im just out of 20bob and bank wont do anything?

If someone after you took it, it is gone.

But if noone used the machine for more then 2 mins the machine would have taken it back and it would be reconciled to your account.

The machines are supposed to suck it back in if you don't take it. But you're **** out of luck if someone got to it before it was taken back in.

If it was taken by someone,which is very probable, nothing the bank will do.
If no one was around,sometimes ATM's will suck the money back in if it's not taken within a certain time frame. Well they used to anyway..

If noone took the money it should go back to your own account (if this was one of your banks ATM's it should be close to immediate, if it was a different bank's it'll probably be the next working day after processing, so Monday night/Tuesday morning). If someone swiped it, it's safe to say it's gone I reckon.

Any ATM I use doesn't give me my card until I take my money.

Most probarbly if its not collected after like 30 seconds the money retracts back inside the ATM and you can argue with your bank for the money back.

Once I was getting out 100, and the machine spat out 2 50s. When I went to grab them only one came away in my hand and the other stayed stuck in the machine, unnoticed by me. As I walked away, the girl who was next in line to use the machine came running after me with my 50 euro! Really restored my faith in human nature, and as an added bonus, she was quite hot!

Sometimes on the way home if I haven't pulled, I let the ATM suck my money back in .. along with my cock.

Yes it flattens it, sure what the heck ..

Noice........ what could be better?

happened me 2 weeks ago, sickened, contact your own bank not the bank of that atm, if the atm was your own bank even better.
They put in a claim type thing to the branch of the atm machine, if the machine is up 20e you will get a refund. can take a few weeks though either way.
If the machine isnt out your fooked.

This happened me before. I withdrew €200 from an ATM in Dunnes and did my shopping. When I got to the checkout I opened my purse and it was empty. I nearly died! The girl at the checkout said the machine would suck it back in if no one was behind me. I rang the (permanent)TSB the next day and they said they'd check it out but I really didn't think I'd get it back. Turned out the money was back in my account in a few days, thank God.
Would you believe I did the same thing again a few weeks later

, the man behind me in the queue called me back, dacent chap:).
Some machines give you the money before returning your card and others do the opposite. If you're distracted and are used to using the former, you can easily forget to wait for your money.

Btw the machine wasn't a Permanent Tsb machine.

What really? For every ATM in the country? I thought the whole point of machines giving the cash before the card was that people are more likely to forget the card than the cash. Must be different depending on what bank you're with.

its hardly a crime to find free money. They wont let ya near the cctv anyway.

allthedoyles · 19-06-2010 10:32PM

its frustrating - happened me too - never got the money

kumate_champ07 · 19-06-2010 10:33PM

ye I heard about the sucking back in thing but it was outside the tesco on camden st in dublin at 6.15pm! there wasnt anyone behind me at the time so not sure what happened during the 30seconds or so afterwards. my banking 365 tells me I'm down 20 tho I didnt use an ATM affiliated with my own bank so perhaps I'll have it appear in my account next week if it was sucked back in.

a guy told me today that people used to take out 100euro but carefully remove 60euro and allow 2 20notes to be sucked in again and they get the full 100 refunded!

I feel dirty having used the word sucked 3 times in 1 post, eww thats the fourth one

If someone was behind me at an ATM where I took my card and not my cash and they seen my money still there and took it rather than calling me back, I'd consider them a scumbag and I'd definitely consider it stealing.

Big difference between finding money and grabbing someone's money and pocketing it when you could have called them back.

the money isnt going to get credited in your account , you need to contact your own bank to get it sorted.
It gets sucked back in after a very short time, wouldnt be surprised if thats what happened.
