Discovery, I want my money back!!!

I withdrew R1500 on the 20th of March, and I didn't get the whole amount, I only got R50 and the other amount was stuck into the ATM machine and went back inside. I immediately reported the matter and on the 25th of March, they disputed the amount and credited it back into my account. A week later, I realised I had a negative balance of R1663 (which they deducted on my payday) I called them to understand what was going on, they were talking in riddles, last week I sent them an email, up to this day, they haven't said anything or rep**** to my email. Long story short, I'm still confused as to what happened and I still don't have my R1450 back.

I've heard that before. I've been calling nonstop for the past 4 weeks and even wrote you guys an email, but still, I haven't got my money back yet and no one has given me any feedback. Please make sure I get my money back, I'm sick and tired of this back and forth.

Hey Sinazo

I have reviewed your profile.

So there was a transaction on 20 March that was only banked on 5 April, please note that we cannot stop merchants from banking funds if the transaction has already been initiated.

The reference of the transaction is "DNR EastLondonOxfod213 Eastern Cape", and was a point of sale. Is that the dispute case you are referring to?

Kind regards,
Mpho.

It's most definitely understandable, we are also waiting on a third party to provide us with feedback.

However please note that we are working on investigating this transaction and providing you with efficient details.

Hi Sinazo

I understand how frustrating this has been, however when we are awaiting feedback externally we cannot control when they get back to us with the relevant feedback - unfortunately this delays our communication to our clients.

We have followed up with the team again, you should receive communication via email should we have any.

Kind regards,
Mpho.
