No response for excess payment refund

Excess payment was made into my directaxis loan account. I have been requesting a refund on the excess amount since mid January 2021 with numerous emails to wesbank. On the 9th February 2021 I finally received a response from wesbank referring me to the *** / ***. On the same day, the 9th February, i emailed direct axis on the customercare address provided, i also ccd them on the cashpower address. The excess amount has been reflecting on the FNB app but disappeared about two days ago. Worried as i was, i downloaded my statement on the wesbank website and luckily the amount is reflecting on the statement as "advance amount" I have received no response from directaxis after numerous emails, except for the automated response. Direct axis, please respond to my emails and refund the excess amount paid into your account.

But the excess amount/ advance amount does not appear on the February statement as it did on the January statement (30/01/2021). There is not even a trace on the latest February statement (28/02/2021) indicating the whereabouts of the excess amount. Instead, they continue to bill service fee and interests despite the account been settled or overpaid for that matter.

By the way, my issue has not yet been resolved to date.
So over the weekend i received an anonymous sms, obviously from direct axis.
"your personal loan remains unpaid, Pay R ..... by 27/03/2021. Your bureau profile will be updated with all payments received. account number ........ Ref ID NUMBER"
This is despite the fact that the account was settled almost 3 months ago.
How pathetic?????????

Prompt response on this platform and don't be fooled, because that's about it, my query is still unresolved.
Access amount I overpaid into my account doesn't reflect anymore on either the statements or the FNB mobile app, so there is no trace for me to follow up on what happened to the overpaid amount.
As a last resort one will have to approach the industry regulator to get to the bottom of this.
