It’s not wise to let someone use your debit and credit cards, but if it’s your brother, you’re might feel safe doing it.

The person in this story was wrong – no two ways about it.

But check out why things are still messy.

AITA for asking my BIL to pay back money debited from my card that he was using

I asked my brother in law to travel and buy stuff for me.

Gave him two bank cards: a credit card as first option and a debit card to use in case the first doesn’t work.

Gave money for gas in cash to avoid withdrawals, he just needed to pay with the card in store.

Then something simple became complicated.

He said there as a huge traffic so he needed to put more gas in the car and the money I gave in cash was not enough.

He tried to withdraw money from the debit card in an ATM (which I expressly said to avoid at all costs).

But the ATM retained the card and no money came out although I received a message from the bank stating that 600 were debited from my account.

And the family drama continues…

I was of course ticked off.

He said he is willing to pay me back I just need to give him time.

My mother says I’m being a jerk because it was not his fault (most likely the atm machine had some cloning device).

I don’t think I should be the one suffering this loss, it was money for monthly expenses.

AITA for wanting him to pay?

Here is what folks are saying.

I think he doesn’t want to believe it happened.

Great point. They’ll be able to sort it out.

Good idea, but that only really works if it was a bank or maybe in a store, not a third-party ATM if it’s outside.

It’s such a weird explanation.

Probably! Don’t give people your cards!

I doubt that bank would pay him back.

You sign paperwork saying you won’t give anyone access to your accounts.
