    Of thank F…!

    Commbank finally reversed the duplicate transaction that put my account into the negative by a large margin.

    Spent the whole day stressing about it. I hope that’s the end of the ordeal and nothing else happens.

    Might actually think about getting a 2nd bank account somewhere else just as a backup sometime.

    Now I finally concentrate on doing other things other than worrying about things.

      This happened to someone I know today as well! Apparently something happened with their system.

        They did maintenance last night and when it came back live it started duplicating transactions I made on Thursday, which happened to be when I had some payments to make.

        It really sucked and just shows if something like that happens the bank won’t be there to cover you.

      That’s a relief for you!

      I have accounts with a couple of banks for that reason. I’ve considered starting an additional one too, but I’m not sure if that’s overkill.

        Yeah so it doesn’t leave me in a bind like this even though it’s exceptionally rare.

        Anyway I’m going to destress tonight if I can. I’ve wasted basically all day monitoring it all.
