My friend who I was helping out called because his debit/credit card still was not working. I went to the bank, because I gave him enough to get by today. Yes, his card still is not working (blocked) because I had the same problems the last time I helped him, four days ago. I told him then that he needed to get the thing resolved. He said it was not a problem anymore, and the evidence suggests it is. I also asked the clerk about it, understanding I have not right for private information. There is an issue. I asked if it could get resolved today. She said no, it would take two, possibly three days to resolve once he goes to the bank to get it resolved. I told him this. He said there is no one to talk to, but I know he has been relying on the phone. I suggest he needed to physically go to the bank. This issue stands in the way of him making any progress. I cannot possibly keep financially helping him out.
