Many banks do not service their own ATMs; they hire outside servicing companies. This is why "no one can help you" when you go into the branch, and direct you to notify your bank to refund your money. Your bank, and ONLY your bank can start the investigation process to get your money back that was improperly debited, as they have to contact the ATM servicing department to determine whether or not the money actually was dispensed. Unfortunately, the dispute process is lengthy, because that is when surveillance is pulled (if applicable), along with ATM tapes and a record proving the amount of funds dispensed by the machine that day.
