Consumer Narrative

I'm a retiree living in XXXX with a bank account in XXXX, Texas. The only means I have of drawing money is through local ATM machines. My debit card expired at the end of XXXX, XXXX I had not received my new card by mid XXXX and phoned the customer service number for international ( XXXX ) clients. They told me my card was on the way. Great. The exploration date expired and still no card. I phoned again. This time I was told the card was sent out in mid-XXXX. I told them that the card was not received. They said they would send me another one, and report the first card as lost. So, on XX/XX/XXXX, mind you, 13 days without any access to my money, a card arrived. I tried to activate it, but the automated service told me the numbers on the card were invalid. I phoned customer service and they told me the card was the first card they sent ( although they said previously that card had been sent mid XXXX, *two months* earlier ) and that they could not activate it since it was declared lost. So, they told me they would send me another card and to expect it within 7 to 10 working days. Remember, that would mean over 20 days that I have not yet been able to access my money to live on. I phoned again on XX/XX/XXXX and this time talked to a specialist. He said he understood my plight and would expedite my card, and I should receive it with 3 to 5 days. 3 days later a card came, but it was the " lost '' second card, and I was told I could not activate it. So, where was the 3rd card, the one I was supposed to get in 3 to 5 days? I haven't received it yet. I phoned again and was told the card was XXXX and was to be received by XX/XX/XXXX. ( What happened to the 3 or 4 days I was told I would get it? ). It looks like I have been consistently lied to, told the card was on its way, when it wasn't, that it was sent in XXXX when it wasn't, that I would receive it in 3 to 5 days, and then 2 weeks later I have yet to receive it. Somewhere along the way they claimed their card vender was behind schedule, but I don't know if I believe that now. And I doubt I will get the new card by XXXX XXXX, like they say. So -- to rehash, my card expired at the end of XXXX. XXXX is in 2 more days and I still haven't received a valid card. I am an old guy depending solely on my debit card to finance my life. I HAVE NO OTHER ACCESS TO MY MONEY. My wife and I are living on modest funds she set aside for her XXXX year old mother 's funeral, when the time comes. I should point out that the bank, Compass Bank BBVA is transitioning to PNC bank in Texas. I should also point out that their customer service is terrible. Not only have they lied to me, they are at times hard to understand, at least twice they accidently disconnected my phone conversation. And, did I mention, they lie. As I told them on more than one occasion, " THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. '' Someone's life is at stake.
