Not getting feedback regarding my Card ***** case

I would like to expose Absa for their *********** non feedback. I have a ***** case where my card was cloned on the 28th July and transactions from non existent places started going off my account for the amount of +-R2800 on the 30th July. I was informed to wait 7 working days in order to call in again for feedback.

firstly I don't understand why, AS A LOYAL CUSTOMER, must I be the one calling in to follow up. They should be the one picking up their phone to call me and tell me what is going with my case and when I will get my money back. This is an inconvenience I certainly didn't plan or anticipate and now I have to run around from one place to another calling their ***** call centre finding out when they can pay me back my money. Is this Absa practicing Treating Customers Fairly? I am really disappointed. I then speak to a lady by the name of Lerato who was at least able to assist me with the investigators name (Olga Mphahlele on ********** ) and every time I attempt calling that number it's engaged. So Absa what does this mean??

Do I sit here and wonder if anything is happening with my case? Do I sit here and hope I receive a call for feedback from your investigator Olga?? Do I wait and also hope the money and bank charges are reversed into my account as in whenever?? Does this mean I must flippen change my bank?? CAN I JUST GET FEEDBACK ON WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH MY CASE. NEXT STEP IS TAKING YOU GUYS TO THE OMBUDSMAN, THIS IS NONSENSE!!!!!!

After putting up my complaint on the 10th August about ABSA not getting back to me regarding my card cloning case, I am still waiting for feedback even now. 11 days later, this is really frustrating and I have decided to take this up with the Banking Ombudsman. I have been patient and now tested. I have considered that after this case has been resolved, to move banks!!!!! I AM STILL WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO CALL ME OR BE IN CONTACT WITH ME REGARDING MY REFUND!!!!
