Yes, people do owe debts but no one should be owing an amount they can't pay back even if they worked nonstop their whole lives. Many of us probably don't become too shocked when we check our bank accounts after a night out and find out we've lost money.
But we see quite a different scenario in today's story. One woman had the shock of her life when she realized that a whopping $50,000,000,000 had been taken out of her account.
That sounds like a fantastic evening, doesn't it? Well, we guess not because what the heck did she consume or even purchase.
The woman in question is named Maddie and her friend is a TikToker by the name of Gabe Floress. He posted on his page that he and his friends had gone out to a bar, but that they were in for a bad surprise when they arrived home and his friend Maddie checked her bank balance.
When Maddie accessed her Chase banking app, she saw that the balance of one of her accounts was $76.28, while the balance of her savings account was "-$49,999,999,697.98." Another friend is heard in the video saying that they initially thought Maddie was "exaggerating," but they soon realized how serious the issue was.
Then, Maddie was left asking what she was going to do as she was in a dilemma.

"I wish I could say I bought the city of Los Angeles. It's not the case here. I'm not really sure what inclined me to check my bank account at like 2 am. But I did. And then I saw negative 49 billion."
Maddie decided to call her bank right away, and the person she spoke with on the phone was just as confused as she was about it all.
"We went out to the bar and Maddie checked her phone"
TikTok/ @gabefloressActing out their conversation, Maddie said:
'Hello this is Chase bank how may I help you?'
Hi, I'm negative 50 billion dollars in debt, and I'm not quite sure why. Do I have 50 billion dollars? No. I do have $76.
So she goes, 'can I put you on hold?' I've never seen this before. I was like, oh."
She added, "It also said on my account I would get $50 billion in 2099. Which would be sick but I don't know if I would be alive at that point."

TikTok/ @gabefloressA representative for Chase Bank acknowledged to Newsweek that "a limited number of accounts" were affected by a "technical glitch over the weekend." They also had this to add: "The issue has been resolved and those accounts are now showing accurate balances."
And Maddie was relieved to say the least. "First of all I want to say thank you. I get 50 billion dollars is a little crazy. But we're here and it's resolved," Maddie continued in a video.
Here's the video
"So Chase started this thing, where if you have a problem with your account, it could be so many different things. You need to change the type of account you have, whatever. They started it this weekend which is why you're seeing other people have the same problem. So if you have this problem, give them a call," Maddie added.
In all, we're glad this is over and done with because no one should ever need to have such debt.
