      The problem that the customer is having the Atms unfortunately are not owned by us. So they there is nothing I can do. However, I do have a phone in contact to get help. From card Tronics, the numbers **********. And you can also tell them that usually when those Atms do not dispense money for whatever reason, they do not charge you. He should not have been charged. But **********, I have never had a problem getting a customer's money back before. So if you need any additional assistance to be happy to help you guys. Have a good day. Thanks

      Cardtronics has investigated the cardholder's complaint and determined that the funds did not dispense because in response to the electronic withdrawal request to cardholder's financial institution, the financial institution responded that there were insufficient funds available in cardholder's account for the withdrawal.

      I understand that but the first transaction took my $100 and I'm still not understanding where did it go if DoorDash does not have my money you don't have my money who has my $100

      As previously noted, the withdrawal transaction was denied for insufficient funds.  Cardtronics suggests that cardholder contact the financial institution that issued the card at issue to determine how the account discrepancy originated.

      On Sunday December 10, 2023 I went to a Cardtronics *** located at ********************************************************************* I attempted to withdraw $240.00 from the *** and no funds were issued. I went to the car to retrieve my phone thinking, maybe the transaction had declined because my card was locked and discovered that this was not the case. The $240.00 had been withdrawn from my account. I then attempted the transaction again thinking this was a mistake and it was declined as insufficient.I requested that the store manager reviewed visual security footage to see if the money came out after I walked out and someone had recovered it. She looked at the footage twice on my request and stated no one had gone to the atm to retrieve money after I used it. I then filed a claim with ********** once the pending transaction posted and within 24 hours Chime denied my request without sufficient evidence that they had made a thorough investigation. I contacted Cardtronics and filed dispute #CS0188399. I received an email from them December 21, 2023 requesting a document from my card issuer, which I responded right away with. I have not heard anything back from Cardtronics since I responded to the email and submitted requested document. I have made at least 4 calls to the company in which I am told that they are still investigating. Today 02/09/24 the customer service *** informed me that on 01/03/23 my complaint had been escalated and would be worked in priority of other cases in the order in which it was received. No one is able to tell me what the turnaround period is for investigation and determination.

      On November 20th 2023, I went to a cardtronics *** located at a **************** *************. I Attempted to withdraw $340 from the *** but the doors opened and shut but did not push out the funds. An error message then popped up on the screen stating "This *** is temporarily unavailable. We're sorry for the inconvenience" (I have a screen shot of the message and provided it to them). Immediately the funds came out of the account but no money was dispensed.I went into the bank who told me I had to contact Cardtronics. I contacted them and they stated I had to dispute it with my bank first. I disputed it with my bank and they declined claiming **************** sent them documentation that I benefitted from the transaction. The documentation was only transaction logs which of course would show successful because the money came out of the account. I started the process with Cardtronics again because they said they would step in once my bank declined it. I sent in all documentation and included a cover letter that started with To Whom this may concern, as I was unaware of who would be reviewing the case. A few days later, I got an email stating I did not send the information. I called immediately and spoke to two ***s who BOTH hung up on me. The second one was laughing and when I called him out on it, he stated "these calls are recorded ma'am", but that did not stop him from hanging up on me and neither *** would provide their names. I called back and got another girl, who confirmed I sent the right documents and escalated to a supervisor. It is now 1/18/2024 and I have not heard from anyone and still have not gotten my money back. I opened a police ***ort for theft because appears there is no urgency for them to get my money back to me and they are extremely unprofessional. They also claim the *** has no camera and no proof of an audit was conducted on that day to look for overage. I honestly just want my money back and ****.

      Cardtronics requested a credit adjustment of $340.00 and estimated that it could take between 5-7 business days.  However, this varies by financial institution.  The cardholder should follow up with his financial institution to confirm the credit to his account.

      A cardtronics ATM terminal at a CVS location did not dispense my money yesterday. The terminal only dispense me $240 of the $300 I requested or attempted to withdrawal. I spoke to 3 different Cardtronics reps and got different responses of what i have to do. Cardtronics does not take full responsibility for such occurrences and requires that their customers or victims of their misfunctioning machines require that the credit card give them a dispute or failure to file a dispute letter before they investigate or audit their devices and will give you your money or submit a reverse credit back to your card company. This requirement in my opinion makes the Cardtronic machine user a victim all over again and makes the customer do what should be the job of Cardtronics. So I followed their requirement and was unsuccessful after 2 attempts to get the company, Chime or Bancorp to file a dispute. The second Cardtronic rep refuse to give her name when asked and said that I only needed to call back but that she noted my file and that any Cardtronics rep could help me. It was pretty obvious that this rep was working remote. She stated that if Chime did not file a dispute by request to call back and ask that the matter be escalated on their end. I did so and the next Cardtronics rep said they must have a dispute letter filed. So Cardtronics reps will say inconsistent things. Also, if a customer can simply call back and get matter escalated without a dispute then no Cardtronic rep should say otherwise. Again Cardtronic should do their own job and not require customers to essentially make Chime or any institution do anything. The second rep at Cardtronic is said "I just will fore warn you that Chime the majority of the time will not be willing to file a dispute". And this is also why she suggest I call back if this was the case and I did and was told that Cardtronics has to have a dispute before doing anything. Date of transaction 12/12/2024. Terminal number: VS006652.

      Cardtronics received a regulation E claim related to the subject withdrawal transaction on January 19, 2024.  Cardtronics did not dispute the regulation E claim.  As a result, the cardholder should have received a credit back for this transaction by now.

      On 1/4/24 I used an ******** *** to withdraw $200 from my ******** **** ******** I was finishing an email when it dispursed the money so I didn't realize it did so. Very quickly it sucked the cash back into the ATM and bounced me back to the home screen. I assumed it would reverse the charge and it didn't. I called ******** customer service and they said I have to file a ********** * ******* **** ********* They also opened a case on their end using the ATM terminal ID on the receipt I was given from the ATM which showed I took out the $200 but I NEVER RECEIVED THE CASH! I opened a dispute with ******** and it was denied. I then called ******** daily for 4 days straight asking to speak with a supervisor and was unable to get one to call me back or be available when I called. I'm so frustrated that ******** just keeps my money with no recourse. I live paycheck to paycheck and $200 is alot of money to me. Please help!
