So like many retail workers affected by the pandemic, my hours at work these past few months have been severely cut. i’m managing around ~$400 each paycheck with barely enough to eat. As you can guess, i haven’t had the $50 for payments each month. I didn’t know they could freeze the only money I have with no notification or anything.
It took me 15 calls between yesterday and today just to get a reason as to why because they decided to freeze my account the night before their offices close for the weekend. I was told I would be able to withdraw from an atm by a supervisor - which led to the ATM keeping my card and telling me to call my (closed) bank.
They told me to call back Monday. I feel as if i was lied to so that I could “turn in” my card. I really feel like i’m being punished for being poor and I don’t know what to do. How can they freeze the only money i have to survive until I can pay them. Any advice would help.
