Radio 5 Live says check your statements, some declined debits have made it through to your account - as someone above said, it's been processed by TSB!
I've also heard that it's a massive hack but the banks will never admit that.0 -
I wonder if this Russian hackers could delete my debts? I would very appreciate.
On the serious note it only shows that is very good idea to always have some cash.0 -
I was in a supermarket earlier, and its cash machines were empty. The next nearest ones are quite a distance away.
The hassle that shop assistants were getting was atrocious. In many cases from those old enough to know from a previous bad experience that it's always wise to have a backup plan, and in all cases from those old enough to know better.0 -
TSB show all authorisations under the "Pending Transactions" section, whether a payment was made or not. It will disappear in a few days.capital0ne wrote: »Radio 5 Live says check your statements, some declined debits have made it through to your account - as someone above said, it's been processed by TSB!0 -
I always pick up my grandson on Mondays and Fridays from his workplace. Today, as I often do on Fridays, I took him to Morrison's for groceries and his TSB card was declined. Rather than have a go at the checkout girl, he asked her to hold the items and went to the in store ATM, which was working and had cash.
There were a few others giving the staff grief, but the large Security guy calmed them down. How can these idiots blame poorly-paid "Sharp End" staff for something that is totally beyond their control? The prevalent attitudes today consist of entitlement and blame.I think this job really needs
a much bigger hammer.

Not only do I ensure I have more than one card in my wallet I also keep both Visa and Mastercard.0

I was in Aldi this afternoon. All the checkouts just stopped, with the queues getting longer and longer. Now I know why.
Luckily, they opened a checkout for cash only when they realised what was happening.If it sticks, force it.
If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.0
