Unauthorised debit order

This is the second time I'm complaining as I still have not received any meaningful response yet. I've now also complained directly with ABSA via their email ********** (Which btw I got referred to by an agent at the branch.) Today, I receive a reply from the disputes department that they don't deal with this and that I need to go in to my nearest branch to query it.

For @#@% sake!!! I've already told the branch and then they directed me to your disputes department. And now your disputed department is directing me back to the branch??? DO YOU GUYS AT ABSA KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING???

Also, Vanessa Crowe, I'm still waiting for your "furnishing feedback shortly" from your response to my last complaint. How exactly do you define shortly? 1 day? 1 week? 1 month? 1 year? How about a decade???

Is this ABSA's way of dealing with *****??? And not even ***** on a credit card, which is understandable. But ***** with a debit order??? How is this possible????

Dear Rishen We refer to the below email. Kindly note that the Disputes department does not deal with Naedo debit orders but banked POS purchases only. Please forward all Naedo debit order queries to your nearest Absa branch. We trust you find the above in order and apologise for any inconvenience caused.

In fact, I find it thoroughly frustrating! It was the teller at the branch who directed me to the email *** in the first place?! So if the disputes department can't handle this and the branch can't handle this, who can??? Who deals directly with NAEODO debit order *****?
