Debit Card

[King Zarathu]

So, I got my dad's name off of all of my bank accounts (finally), and I ordered a debit card. But, the idiot teller sent the debit card to my dad's address--the complete adverse of what I had instructed him to do.

Dad is basically blackmailing me. He said if I want it, I need to pay him money that I "owe" him, and I don't owe him shit. Is there a way he can do anything with my debit card without my PIN number?

Just cancel it and have them send you a new one.

As long as it doesn't have a VISA logo on it you should be fine.

What bank do you have?

[King Zarathu]

ViewPoint bank. I told Dad that no, he could give me my card first and THEN show me a bank statement proving I owe him money that was supposedly cashed in twice (my ass), or I could just go get another card. I'm doing the latter anyway, just to be done with it.

Yeah, just cancel that.

Your dad's a jackass.

I mean, I don't know the whole story, but that is a dirty move.

[King Zarathu]

Yeah, he is a jackass. That's why I don't live with him anymore. He claims that he gave me a check that got cashed in twice, and so I owe him that check. It's a paycheck from when I used to work at his car wash.

I think he's really jealous that I sit on my ass and make more than he does.

you know a bank teller did the same thing with me one day. they sent my card to my old address after i VERY SPECIFICALLY asked them not to.

stupid ****in people.

[King Zarathu]

Yeah I hate that bullshit. I'm heading down there ASAP after school, so I can get my shit handled.

your dads looking at internet porn with your credit card.

Why doesn't your mother intervene on your behalf?

[Rosebud]

I agree with fras. Just cancel it.

You want to hear about stupid people? we opened an account down here and then closed it after our debit cards got stolen from their own atm machine 3 times. we just opened another account somewhere else, and instead of sending us our checks they sent to the office, and we still have yet to get our debit cards because they all had the wrong address on them, not to mention my name is spelled wrong on our checks too. I have had it with every business down here!!!!!!

===UPDATE===
I went to the bank and cancelled the card, I should be receiving a new one. Also, because my dad refused to give me my mail, he has illegally commit mail fraud. I'll just remind him in a friendly email.

Skaterboy - don't engage in warfare with your dad. You can't win the war, because even if you DO win the battle, you still will suffer emotionally. Just let him have the card and go on your merry way.

[King Zarathu]

Fine.

Just tell the asshole to put it on your bill.

God, some people's parents piss me off. My sister in law is now telling my 17-year old neice that she has to pay rent on top of the huge child support check that comes every month.

Sometimes I think people have kids so they'll have a place to dump all of their emotional garbage.

I'm so glad you moved out, Z.

Yep, and that's exactly what he does.
