Checking account Using a debit or ATM card Massachusetts

Description from my complaint : On Monday, - -, I attempted to use my debit card and it was declined. Knowing there were funds available, I called the customer service number at Santander. I spoke to a woman who informed me that my card had been flagged for fraudulent activity and canceled/put on hold on Friday, - -. I never received a phone call telling me this. I tell her the charges on the card were not fraudulent, as I was traveling for work all week and weekend and had purchased the items. The woman then lifted the freeze on my card, and I was able to make an online purchase. A few hours later, I go to use my card again. It is declined. I call the bank back and am hung up on in the middle of speaking to someone twice. I call back a third time. The woman is so rude to me regarding the charges that I


That was - -. Today is - -. After going to the bank numerous times and having the card sent to - separate addresses, I have still not received a debit card. I have not had a debit card for my account for 43 days. I have already filled out a survey explaining all of this following my calls with the customer service center. No one ever called me. I have never been contacted regarding my issues, despite numerous phone calls and visits to my local branch. The service I have received, particularly being a new customer, is borderline unbelievable. At this time, I have gone on my online banking on my own and ordered a new card, and put in a THIRD address, hoping it would come there. To be very clear, both my home and the additional address I used ( work ) are extremely secure, so neither of these are instances of mail disappearing. They simply never arrived. 43 days later, I 'm ordering my own card, having never been contacted by customer service and still without a card, which I 'll spend another week waiting for, hoping it will arrive.
