unauthorized debit

I received an sms on the 10/12/2024 from African bank saying that they will be making a debit on the 13/12/2024 if I do not want that and want to keep my debit date I must respond with a NO which I did. Yesterday *** I got another sms "reminder" that the debit will go off on the 13th. I called them and they assured me that if I responded no there wont be a debit order as I clearly informed them that I will not be getting paid today and my debit date is the 23rd which is literally 10 days after the actual date they want to debit. I went to the shops to buy my necessities only to find that I have no money it was taken by African bank without my consent. I am deeply disappointed by the way you just ignore instructions and I want the money reversed as it has its own needs.

There is no money received. I have been inconvenienced since the debit date as I had plans for that money. The least you could've done was to do an immediate payment. Now it's been four days without those funds

You have now taken money for the second time but the first debit has not been returned to me. You are hell bent on making life difficult for me. How do you expect me to do the things I need to do if you keep my money and still take more money from ne😑😑😑😑😑😑😑

Don't tell me about 48hours because it's been more than 48 hours since you apparently returned the money
