Day light *******!

I have now sent two seperate emails to African Bank with no reply. This company took money out of my account for a loan payment 10 days before my debit order was due to go off - I was not even paid yet. I called them on the day (16 December 2019) - explaining I needed the money refunded immediately, as I needed to make final payment on holiday accommodation. They then insisted on a bank statement (please note this is a public holiday) and only refunded me the next afternoon - too late for me to secure my reservation.

I have now lost a holiday and a large deposit that I had paid two months ago. I was never asked if my account could be debited early and never agreed to anything. This is against the agreement I have with the bank and therefore is a breach of contract. My account has been up to date from the day I took the loan.

I expect to be compensated in FULL for the deposit I lost.

I have detailed my complaint in two emails - I am not sure what more you need to hear.

You can call at 09:30 - ***

I would also like a response in writing, with a reference number that I can use with the complaint I submit to the Ombudsman. I have lost a holiday booking and a lot of money because of your incompetence.

I am still waiting for a response in writing... I will be going to social media and press next - I am not leaving this matter until it resolved properly.
