Mr. Mokoena,

As per the letter that we sent to you, we are not liable for the internal bank charges that you were charged, as your debit order never failed. It was successful. How can we refund you money that we did not take from you. The only institution that owes you money is the institution that took it from you unnecessarily. In this case, that is not Anders Inc. Attorneys.

With regards to your debit date, it was changed as you requested. However, we make use of NAEDO early tracking, which means we track the target account for 4 days before the action date and 4 days after. The debit order will not fail until these 8 days of tracking are done. And at no point during these 8 days would you be charged any admin costs because the debit order does not fail.

I will apologise on behalf of Anders Inc. Attorneys that we were not able to assist you any further, but I will not apologise or take blame for something that is not our fault. Plainly put, we did not take the money from you and, therefore, we cannot refund money that we didn't take in the first place. Simple logic.

I have escalated the matter to ABSA Legal Management, but more than that, I can not do. I only suggested that your bank manager contact me, I did not give any instructions on what must happen. I merely offered to communicate with your Bank Manager on your behalf in an attempt to assist you in getting your money back. I have no control of the internal functions of your Bank. We are an external entity.

Sincerely,

Michelle Davies
