Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to formally demand the resolution of an ATM dispute that has remained unresolved for over a month, causing significant financial loss and emotional distress.
On [Date], I deposited K1350.* at your ATM located at [Location]. Unfortunately, this amount was neither credited to my account nor refunded, despite multiple follow-ups with your customer service. Upon reporting the issue, I was assured that the matter would be resolved within * hours. However, despite this commitment, the issue persists over a month later.
The unavailability of the K1350.* resulted in me missing a critical business transaction. Specifically, I lost an opportunity to purchase essential stock, leading to an estimated loss of K[Amount] in sales and potential profits. Additionally, the unresolved ATM dispute has caused significant stress and inconvenience. I have spent numerous hours communicating with your customer service and visiting the branch, which has disrupted both my work schedule and personal life.
I understand that the bank is currently reviewing footage as part of the investigation. However, this does not justify the delay beyond the promised *-hour resolution period. This failure to meet the promised resolution timeline has exacerbated the financial and emotional distress caused by the unavailability of the K1350.*.
I hereby demand the immediate reimbursement of the K1350.*, along with compensation for the resulting financial losses and emotional distress, totaling K[Total Amount]. I expect a response and resolution within 14 days from the date of this letter. If the issue is not resolved within this timeframe, I will have no choice but to escalate the matter to the Bank of Zambia and consider legal action to recover the damages.
