Today ramblings
Hi friends đ
Today is another beautiful day on the earth's surface as we continue to approach the new year 2022. Isnât it amazing to see the wonders God had done in our lives? We are still alive and awake, healthy and in perfect shape. But all he wants from us is to appreciate him.
Itâs been days since I have been enjoying my new SIM card. Yeah, the network is just much more amazing compared to the former network I was using whereby I would have to go outside under a big tree before I can browse, not even to satisfaction but still kind of better than browsing in my room.
Yeah, I went to the Glo mobile store here and it was okay, their relationship with customers is quite satisfactory. I got my new sim and was told to make sure I recharge on it. I did so and started flexing. I realized the great difference between suffering and comfort. Somewhere in my room and not on my bed I am always finding myself active online without any network issues. Good, I was able to solve that.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT â€ïž
Onto the next problem. Problems donât end in this life! Ehn đą
Some days ago I had to withdraw my fiat from a POS service here because going to the bank would have to cost me even more than the amount I want to pay as withdrawal charges to the merchant. So I decided not to stress myself and just do it at comfort. Yeah, I did get to the stand I requested for a transaction of so much. She did it but it kept on loading and rolling. I already started to have second thoughts about what I had just done. I should have gone to the bank ATM.
The next thing she told me was that the transaction wasnât successful. So I would have to input my pin again for another transaction. After that, I saw an alert on my device that my account has been debited for the transaction I made at first. I showed her and she had to tell me it would be reversed. The second transaction was successful. After that, all the money in my account was already gone! đ.
Yeah, I have the hope that it would be reversed. I stayed and expected it with patience for more than 24 hours. Then I went to meet the merchant again and she told me that it wasnât her fault, she never received any bank credit alert for the first transaction. đą. I donât even know what else to say, she told me to go to my bank and make complaints. I already knew thatâs what the case would later result in. I felt reluctant because I already experienced scenarios like that.
I got home and opened my bank application and made a complaint to them about the card dispense error and I was told it would be rectified within three working days. I already experienced something like this before when I had to travel home from school and I just had my transport fare with me. Then I went to withdraw it from the POS stand. I got debited but the merchant couldnât receive anything. I had to call customer service several times, but I wasnât able to get anything tangible from our conversation. My last resort was to go to the bank to complain and I was told to await the reversal after 5 working days. I couldnât cry. Before I could get the money into my account it was more than 3weeks after lots of calls and messages.
A similar thing happened again. I just had to visit the bank yesterday to complain, the first thing that pissed me off was the long queue. I managed to survive the queue while using my time on noisecash. Then I was told to fill a form and then wait for my reversal after 8 working days. I just hope I will be able to receive it maybe in two weeks on Monday when the eighth day would be completed. And if they couldnât do anything about it I would have to call them till they rectify the error.
This is one reason why I would always appreciate decentralized blockchain technology. But thatâs never a topic for today. I hate banks.
