I may not be learned yet, though I surround my self with the learned as you presume, but the situation here is such that if you argue that a customer may not complain, then there is technicality situation here that CBN as we had seen is quite bereft of some certain issues, without customers formally notifying the bank, the bank may not be aware of such errors as, the situation is such that a cashier in the bank may not be able to access database queries as such their may not be automated updates to automated errors.

Then the second situation, if her transaction was done in another bank, chances is that the money had been wired to the other bank and in this case, both banks needs a back and fort Sequence to retract the money, these things takes time, like I had said, the bank shall eventually plead guilty but if I may see this case from the prism of the judge, I would issue justice on the basis that the young woman was obviously frustrated but then both parties had no malicious intent.

She would eventually get some palliative but not on the angle of justice but as such to alleviate her frustration

You are quite right

Not on us dispense error( as those in the profession calls it) may take longer than On- us dispense error (same bank, same card).

All she shld do is to send a mail (well articulated one) to both banks putting their regulators in copy and attaching a copy of the dispense error form logged.
Do not forget to copy the direct mail of their head of customer service/ED.

We HATE escalations.

My head is not thinking right right now cos I'm going through a lot. I was in dire need of money for hospital bill when someone sent me some money due to my cries. Using ATM to withdraw it, I was debited but not dispensed. Going to 3 months now, the bank has not refunded. That money was to save a life but bank played politics with it.

What are my chances if I sue them for damages?
I wish more Nigerians would take up the challenge of suing banks. More and more Nigerians have literally given up on their money due to the failure of so called big banks to resolve and reverse failed dispense error issues. Unfortunately, the CBN which ought to protect bank customers have abdicated their responsibility, they issued a Circular in June 2020 revising the timeline for resolution of dispense error issues but till date, how many banks have been hit with punitive measures for failing to abide by this Circular.
The reason why so called big banks in Nigeria are plagued with mounting dispense error failures, is because the banks are unwilling to invest in technologies and resources that would entirely automate the process. The resolution of dispense errors is still largely manual driven and as the banking sector is currently ravished with experienced hands resigning in droves, there's a genuine shortage of requisite and knowledgeable manpower to reconcile and attend to these dispense error issues. Have you thought for a moment why some of the Fintechs are able to resolve dispense errors instantly and so called big banks are unable to. If some law firms can take up the challenge of suing these banks for damages caused to customers, there's no doubt in my mind the banks would be forced to sit up.

Please I need to speak with your lawyer.
Access Bank has robbed me... continues to rob me through Credit Card/ATM Card matter.....

Thank you.

anayolity:
forgive any typo , I just wanna share my own story.

[b]On the 22nd of May 2021 I made a withdrawal from UBA ATM using my access Bank card and they debited (#10k) me without crediting me I went berserk the next Monday at UBA , they referred to my Bank (Access Bank) , again I went to access Bank to lay complain fill form and shout on some few people whom I didn't like their tie or face angry angry .

I called Access Bank customer care and laid complain ,sent mails upon mails even copied yeye CBN yet "we will work on it was all I got" at some point they even claimed that the transaction was successful ,I was mad ,I went further to request a CCTV footage of that transaction which they couldn't produce but at least saw my seriousness, I even spoke with a lawyer friend of mine who drafted a warning for me to take to both banks and woe betide them if they reject it!!

It took the Silly banks 4 months to reverse my money..... Did I mention that one beautiful damsel from access Bank took the case up for me.

All these banks knows what they are doing and wants to frustrate people to forget their hard earned cash with them.

Mehn push hard oooh even if it's 1k stand on top customer care table and shout, your money must come out.

Nah mad people dem dey respect for this country!!![/b]

I'll just tell you not to mind these many frustrated people here. You have a full right to sue even if it is 1 naira.
This thread has shown me how much Nigerian youths have been psychological put in bondage, it's a pity they'll rather suffer and shut up than stand for their legal right.

There's a platform for reporting these via CBN.

Go to CBN page on twitter or FB. There's something about making such reports
Re: What Are My Chances If I Sue A Bank For Withholding My 2k? by imatejammer: 11:15am On Nov 18, 2021
And GTB reversed the debit yesterday and credited my account. It took 6-7 weeks but I never gave up.

OP pursue until they return your money. And do try other options suggested here as the legal option may not be the best way.



imatejammer:
Thanks for this link. I intend to use it to force GTB to reverse a 5K airtime purchase that didn't go through but was debited. Six weeks after, they are yet to reverse.

OP don't give up, also try this option.

To all others with similar issues, don't give up. Report to the regulatory bodies and follow up until your issue is resolved. I have twice gotten Glo and Airtel to refund through NCC Complaint Unit.

Please don't keep quiet...Report them.

@tallesty1 pls I sent you a mail, kindly respond to it asap

Tallesty1:
People like this are the reason banks don't take cases like this serious.

It's crazy how you just form opinions on cases you know nothing about. So because she was able to source for alternative means to solve her problems means the issue wasn't urgent?

Did she in a any part of her write up state directly or indirectly that it was only the sender of the withheld 2k she knew? What if she called another person? What if she took a loan from someone or app?

Does it even matter if the case was urgent or not? The time frame given to banks by CBN to reverse dispense errors is less than 5 days and this one is more than 3 months so what's the banks excuse?

Wrong!!! The fact that he survived without the 2k doesn't mean it wasn't urgent.
