This evening I drove to a Wells Fargo branch ATM machine. I inserted my ATM card and it was pulled in, as usual. Advertisements kept playing on the screen. Hitting the cancel button did nothing.
I immediately called the Wells Fargo hotline and spoke to a representative named Paul. He said the card must be replaced, which may take up to 10 business days.
When this bank issues a replacement ATM/debit card, it is reported to the credit bureaus as a lost or stolen card. This lowers the cardholder's credit score!
The representative insisted that it does not happen, but I have a copy of my credit report showing the last time this happened with a Wells Fargo ATM machine.
Don't let this happen to you! Don't ruin your credit score over a malfunctioning ATM!
