Faulty ATMs and poor service

I am a Capitec client and went to an ABSA ATM to withdraw some quick cash. The ATM froze and I waited about 20 for its response. I then noticed the amount I requested from the ATM was deducted from my account but the ATM did not dispense any cash. The ATM gave a slip which shows that no money was dispensed and it has reference numbers and everything on it. I then phoned ABSA to rectify this mistake and refund my money, I was then told I need to go to my bank for them to log a request for a refund and told that it would take up to 30 days to action my request. This is ridiculous that I have to spend money making phone calls and why should I wait 30 days for a mistake made by ABSA's machines??? I have had a similar instance in the past where the ATM did not dispense any money, I called ABSA and the money was refunded into my account within 10 minutes. So why do I have to wait 30 days this time around??? I have all the details that the ATM gave to me, so just give me my money back!!!!

Thank you for the prompt response. My money has been paid back into my account. I can see that ABSA is an institution that takes errors very seriously. The person that called me explained the process clearly to me. Just hope you guys will sort out the faulty ATM's though.....
