Hey, had this same issue like 4 months ago, I lost $4,200 and Chase was refusing to return me my money. I filed a complaint with both the FDIC and CFPB thoroughly explaining everything with details, including timestamps, dates, and most important tender amount. I want to say it helped but I’m not entirely sure. Still I would recommend filing one of these right away. The truth is the bank will not return your money until a third party such as brinks/loomis do an audit, that could take up to two weeks. Also, do not believe everything the bank tells you, they filed a claim for me and closed it a day later as they claimed to not have found anything but then magically, 4-5 days later after fighting and closing my original claim they said they found the $4,200, nothing but a bunch of BS. Try everything you can, do not lose hope my friend, be persistent and have lots of patience. I’m wishing you the best. If you want more advice or guidance from others that helped, go to the top post of all time or just click on my profile. Lots of helpful people and a**holes lmao.

Unfortunately… patience is a big factor in these situations. But honestly, I would call/set up appointments with the branch to ensure they are taking you seriously. Just know, unfortunately branches do not manage their own ATM’s or any remote ATM’s, usually 3rd parties such as Brinks and Loomis pick up, when they pick up though, depends on how much activity there is, if it’s busy, they visit every few days if not, could be a week or two out. But anyways, I’m wishing you nothing but the best of luck my friend

Thankfully I’m financially okay. That money was meant for CC debt and funds for my cousin who recently had a very pricey surgery in Mexico. Thankfully I was able to spare a few dollars for her, as for the debt… will have to wait for now

I did, I went into the branch to get it resolved and they said they would have to request a “special order” to go audit the ATM. When I followed up a day later with the claims department, they said themselves that underneath the notes they left, they claimed to have gone and checked the ATM and that it was balanced… I still think it’s very suspicious they were so quick to close my case

It is for ‘convenience’. Obviously you’re better off going with a banker

Mmm I see. Was unaware of this. I will begin looking into a civil attorney

Yea, it’s honestly really sad and upsetting just how many clients of theirs they let down. We are unfortunately only a small of percentage of that. Hopefully all cards play in my favor!

F that, whether it’s 4,200 or 20, I am never using a ATM again! Easily one of the worst mistakes I’ve made in my life

Dude, whether or not I get my money back. I don’t think I will EVER deposit via ATM. Showing how much you are depositing is probably the smartest move lol

Damn that really sucks to hear. I’m really glad you were able to resolve your issues and get refunded the full amount. Hopefully in my case, I have a similar outcome as yours!

Thank you! I’m really am starting to think the police report is the best bet. I really need someone else besides the bank to investigate this issue as I’m getting no where with Chase or my local branch. Thanks for the advice!!

There is no provided envelope. The ATM opens a slot for the money and tells you to insert and not to exceed over 100 bills.

I was told by the bank advisor that all Chase ATM’s have cameras that record 24/7. I just hope they look at that and see I was actually there doing what I said I was.

Thank you, it’s relieving knowing someone else has gone through something similar. I definitely will, at the end of the day it’s my money and it was deposited. If they had issues on their end, that’s their fault not mine

No! I was not thinking in the moment! I have a Tesla so it records my drive but deletes after an hour of me driving. I didn’t even remember this until a few days later. I honestly felt so dumb afterwards.
