Respected Sir/ Madam,
I am current/ saving account holder in your bank (Account number). Yesterday I was using bank's ATM located at _____ (provide the location of ATM) at around 06:00 pm to withdraw Rs. 10,000 from my account. But suddenly the machine switched off and I could not receive any money or receipt, but I received a message on my mobile that Rs. 10,000 has been withdrawn. In reality, I had not received any cash in my hand. I checked my account summary online also. It is also showing a debit of Rs. 10,000.
Kindly do the needful as soon as possible.
Thanking you,

I want to share my own experience. On 3/8/19 I had an FCTI owned ATM malfunction and it kept my $200. It gave me no receipt and deducted the money from my account. I filed a letter of dispute. FCTI states there was no overage or underage. I left my contact number with the 7-Eleven manager. The store owner and 7 Eleven corp. won't contact me. Lawyers won't take my case. I'm starting to think everyone thinks this is acceptable but me.
