ATM Cash Deposit Error Not Being Attended To. Poor Feedback. No Communication

I found myself in the unfortunate position of having my cash deposit (R8100) retained by the faulty atm i was depositing money into. This happened on Thursday morning (8.02.2018). I received a slip saying the cash has been retained and i need to contact the nearest branch or call centre. Fortunately enough i was at the atam attached to a bank so i promptly entered and asked for help after which i was told to stand in a queue for 30min for me to explain my predicament. I then got served and the "consultant" explained that the issue will take two working days to finalize and i have to log a case which i did and received a reference number for. I was promised a phone call and an sms from the bank in acknowledgement of them receiving my case and actioning it. I tried to plead for urgency as this money was meant to be transferred out to deal with a medical emergency but my pleas fell on deaf ears. Mechanically the 2 working days was regurgitated to me again. I waited for feedback on Friday (9.02.2018)- No Feedback. No Feedback Sat and Sunday and no Feedback today Monday (12-02-2018). I called the branch and gave my case number and the only response i received is "we will look into it" no timeframes, no official correspondence. Till now i am waiting. Such poor service is contrary to the adverts splashed around everyday of Absa's self praise on customer service. Who do i call? Who resolves my case? Where do i turn to? This is really pathetic service from Absa. I would advise noone uses those atm's for deposits lest you do not get your money back and run around as i am. I NEED A SOLUTION TO THIS!

Daphne Please advise as to when there will be some feedback regarding this? it has been 5 days with me not having my hard earned funds because of your atm's error which i did not cause. This is causing me some distress now. Whilst your feedback is appreciated as above the wording "furnish feedback shortly" is too vague for me to hold on to. I expect something more definitve
