  • Tell your bank.

    But it's not the most compelling tale.

    Real story: OP was on the lash last night, took out £150 for more booze and lap dancing, now desperately trying to come up with an explanation for the OH. :D

    OP, did you get an ATM receipt, which will show what you took out? You should speak to your bank about it but you'll need to give them a more convincing story than you've given us so far.

    What does your receipt say?

    Was the £150 taken in one transaction or was it your "£30" + some other(s)?

    Are you sure the £150 refers to your ATM withdrawal and not some other transaction from the past which has only just been processed?

    The ATM operator may take a fee but £120 seems a bit steep!

    ATMs don't just debit people with random amounts of money. They debit you with what you choose to withdraw.

    Oh, for goodness sake. If you're going to ring the bank tomorrow, try practicing your speech tonight.
    I came into this world with nothing and I've got most of it left.
