ABSA ATM Swalllows Cash!!!!!!!! And no help!!!!!!

I am getting no joy or assistance whatsoever from ABSA, and this is an urgent issue and it is my money, not theirs. Their ATM swallowed R4000 that my aunt deposited for me at their ATM in Bracken City, Alberton on Monday 2 April 2018. She called the hotline immediately but was told to visit the bank the next day because the 2nd was a public holiday. This already is so upsetting because I needed the money urgently. But we gave them the benefit of the doubt, that they would attend to it immediately becuase it is not a serious case like *****, my aunt deposited HER OWN MONEY TO HELP ME. So, she went to the bank on Tuesday - 3 April 2018 and they created a case for her that was supposed to take 3-4 working days to be resolved and for the money to reflect in my account. Today is the 4th day and the amount is still not reflecting in my account. I called the branch to check progress and instead of helping the lady says my aunt needs to call. My aunt is a pensioner for goodness sake, she does not need this stress! She gave me the case number and everything, and I am the recipient, my details and account details and ID number are on the case description! Why cannot they not help! So I emailed the lady Florence Mpolokeng Mokoena whose details are on the case number as a contact and she has not responded. Please can someone assist with this issue urgently. It is now the weekend and I need the money urgently for my family and child! I am having constant issues with ABSA. It's just been a nightmare banking with them. This is such a simple technical issue to resolve, this should take less than a few hours to resolve, you call the ATM-powered company and transfer the money, simple.

This issue has been going on for too long now, we are now on 8 days with no proper explanation or solution. Please can someone contact me directly on ********** 950 to explain what the issue is and why it is taking so long to resolve. This is our money not Absa's you should have transferred the money in to the account with no hassle because the fault is on your side. This is really bad customer service. Bad doesn't actually describe what this is.

Still no help from Absa. The initial SLA was 3 days. It is now 9 days. Please do not make me have to come there. My pensioner aunt has gone there already and you did not resolve the issue fore her. It is just unfair. This is my money. And I need it urgently. You guys do not care about people. It is wrong what you are doing. No urgency, no care. I am stressed as I need that money. You do not even have the decency to contact me directly. This is not a ***** case and does not require so much time! Your machine took my aunt's money! It's that simple! Please give my aunt her money back! And we will use a different means. This is an absolute injustice. I have never had to deal with such from an organisation in my entire life.
