i had a charge on my card I wanted to dispute so I called the customer assistance for them to totally screw me over. the First Lady I talked to on the phone told me the charge was no longer pending and had gone through so I was would need to block it. she did not tell me I would be unable to use my card for 10 days, I had to have it mailed to me because I am no longer living on the cape and i made it clear I could not go into a branch. she only told me that I would not be able to use my card at all till after she had canceled my card which can't be reversed. when I voiced that she had not made that clear and that I needed my card to get to work she told me to "borrow money" which still does fix my issue since you need a card to use Uber. she was also completely incredulous when I told her that I could not go into a branch because she had already canceled my card so I would be unable to buy a bus ticket to go to a branch. she was incredibly rude throughout the interaction which only made the whole ordeal even more upsetting. I also asked if there was someone else I could talk to and she told me there was no one, which I still do not believe. she was incredibly dismissive and seemed like she just wanted to get off the phone as soon as possible, and was honestly out of touch.
I called back the next day because I was told they could not dispute the charge. I was told the charge had never gone through and had been reversed, making canceling my card completely unneeded. this was the third lady I had talked to and she was super nice and apologetic. I still have no idea how I will get to work in the mean time, and I am so happy I do not have anything else I would desperately need the card for. I was already considering switching banks because I had issues with cape cod five before over other things, but this completely solidified it. I am a broke college student who is only surrounded by broke college students who I can't just borrow from as the employee suggested. read more
