Atlanta Man Pays $9k for Shed from Home Depot in Cartersville, GA & Nothing Happens for 52 Days

An Atlanta man purchased a shed from Home Depot in Cartersville, GA for $9,058.03 and after not hearing anything from them for 52 days, he wondered when he would receive his shed. 

11Alive News reported that Atlanta resident Warren Kale found a tool shed he liked for his backyard at a Home Depot in Cartersville, GA. He paid $9,058.03 for the shed with his debit card and thought he would hear back from Home Depot that week, but he did not.

Home Depot Told Customer: 'Your Money Went Somewhere, but We Don't Know Where'

52 days had passed and he had not heard from them, so he went back to the Cartersville Home Depot store to find out what had happened.

According to Kale, the store told him "there was a glitch in the computer," and that "his money had gone somewhere, but they didn't know where."

Kale continued to wait for 52 days, and nothing happened, so he was concerned that he would not be able to get a refund. He went to his bank, and then he went to 11Allive News.

After 11Alive News got involved and contacted both Home Depot and Ameris Bank, finally the bank refunded Kale $9,058.03 back into his account.

While this was an ordeal for Kale, he was determined to get his tool shed. He went back to Home Depot and repurchased the shed, and it is now fully assembled in his backyard.

Beside transactions on your bank statement, you will see symbols. These define what type of transaction has taken place. Below you will see what each two-letter code stands for as a transaction.

You may ask yourself the following questions:

• What does PU transaction type mean?
• What does AW transaction type mean?
• What does CD transaction type mean?
• What does ND transaction type mean?

But do you know what all of the transaction types are in the pending section?

Banks have many transaction types (below are just a few):

"PU" stands for purchase.
"AW" stands for account withdrawal.
"CD" stands for cash deposit.
"ND" stands for night deposit.

Below you will see an example of what these transaction types look like on your account if you view from an online statement.

Pending transactions on online bank statement

I deposited checks totaling $100.00 into my checking account, however my bank statement showed it going in twice, with two different transaction types beside each deposit.

I called the bank customer service and they told me they will make a note to take a look at this, since it shouldn't credit my account twice.

You should now be able to identify the different transaction types when viewing your online bank statement.
