What's up with my bank account?

[sm8000]

On Friday I had a balance of $2.25. I deposited a check for $200. It cleared today as expected, and I withdrew $120 from a machine to pay some people back. Looking at the slip, it said I had a balance of $482.25. I have no idea where the other $400 came from.

After I paid back my debts, I went to the machine again and withdrew $80. Now it says my balance is $122.25. I have no idea how I 'lost' $280 in about 20 minutes. I just checked my account online and it shows a balance of $2.25, as of last Friday.

Any idea what's going on? Anything I should do?

Have you called your bank to ask :p ? they usually have operaters by the phone 24/7

I can guarantee you this one won't. But I'll call tomorrow. It's a "First Community Bank" in a small town in a rural area.

Maybe some older checks you wrote took a while to clear.

Maybe they deposited someone elses deposit to your accoutn. Found their error and corrected it. Maybe you can't add/subtract:x

Perhpas ATM balance are never 100% accurate, and shouldn't be trusted as such :)

Precisely! My ATM is never accurate. I currently have -72.42 bucks in my balance... :rolleyes:

Must learn to write down my blanace

[sm8000]

Didn't get a chance to call 'em today, I'll try to tomorrow....in the meantime I checked my balance online, and it is current as of yesterday prior to my withdrawals, showing $202.25.

They prob. put an overdraft on your account and its not showing up on the ATM reciept or online.

there's your problem right there.. your accnt number is wrong!! :p


Checks you wrote probably were cashed later than you anticipated and are coming around a bit late.. ATM balance is not to be trusted as they are more often than not, inaccurate.. they are really only there so that you have a record of deposits and withdrawls.. see if your tiny bank has a online service you can sign up for.. I check my statements online all the time and they are pretty much as current as what a banker will tell you..

good luck

:t

[sm8000]

As I've already said, I've been checking my balance online. Problem is, it shows me today what my balance was at the end of yesterday. I haven't written any checks either, and I never had that mysterious $400 that showed up in the first place. Oh well. I checked my history online and it showed nothing in regard to these strange events. Maybe the machine was doing typos.

[Vampiel]

As previously stated it could have been your overdraft included in the one that had $400 extra. Just ask the bank if your account has an overdraft on it.

I tried it over and over for several hours until the police showed up and hauled me off...

I guess you must have had a typo in there....
