      <title>First National Bank - Infringement on Consumer Right &amp; non-compliance - FNB infringes on Consumer Right </title>
      <description>
<![CDATA[An Application was made on 16 April 2012 for the opening of a new business account, the issuing of debit cards and for the account to be linked to the existing profiles of both directors. FNB's representative undertook to perform these services.<br> Over FIVE WEEKS have elapsed and despite numerous telephonic and e-mail enquiries, no information whatsoever has been received, nor have any request been attended to! There is still no access to the account and there has been no notification as to when cards applied for will be ready for collection. The responsible Premier Banker was requested to intervene and to escalate the complaint, to no avail.<br> <br> Not only does the conduct of the representatives of FNB amount to an infringement on the right to quality service in terms of the Consumer Protection Act, it also constitutes non-compliance with FNB's own quality of service pledge. <br> The Complaints Procedure published by FNB was followed and a complaint logged via e-mail [Email Removed] on 22 May 2012. Over 48 hours have elapsed and there has been NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and still NO FEEDBACK, despite guarantees of immediate acknowledgement and feedback within 24 hours...! <hr>]]>

      <title>Standard Bank - Bad Attitude - Usual shocking service from my Standard Bank</title>
      <description>
<![CDATA[Once again, a visist to Standard Bank Northgate makes me wonder where my bank fees are going and what i am doing stil keeping my hard earned funds with Standard Bank.<br> <br> My experience this morning:<br> Went in to collect a renewal card ( for which Std Bank didnt have the coutesy to advise me was ready 3 months ago)<br> Waited 28 minutes in a queue with only 4 people in front of me. The problem is that during peek time ( lunch time, only two consultants working at enquiries. There is space for 4 but only two working during peek times.<br> No management to be found.<br> <br> Every time i leave this Standard Branch, the newly renovated FNB branch across the coridor looks ever more inviting. From what i hear from colleagues is that FNB cares about their clients and it seems that the whole of South Africa is leaving their existing banks for better service and products at FNB.<hr>]]>

      <title>First National Bank - Feedback / Response - Waiting for 3 weeks as compared to 10 mins</title>
      <description>
<![CDATA[After hearing about the constant advertisements on radio regarding how quick and easy it is to apply for a new credit card I decided to give it a try. The initial approval was quick which was completed on 03/05/2012. I was told to send my relevant documents which I did on 04/05/2012. I was told that it would take approx 4-5 working days for me to get my new credit card sent to me.<br> <br> I called my FNB branch on Monday, 21/05/2012 to see why I hadnt received it as yet. I was told there is no account even reflecting on their side. Called the credit card division afterwards and apparently no-one processed instructions for delivery of my card. So I was told that I would get it by Thurs/Friday. <br> <br> Thursday has arrived, I called my branch to see if my card has arrived...nothing. <br> Called the new applications, put on hold for 5 mins and told that there was a glitch on their side and the final steps were not done by the person who handled the application & now there is NO CARD.<br> <br> The lady I spoke to has no idea how long it will take to rectify the problem and this upsets me.<br> <br> Really disappointed in FNB and to think that I wanted to move my Cheque card to them as well!<br> <br> 10 mins my foot<hr>]]>

      <title>Nedbank - Billing / Accounts - Unauthorised debit</title>
      <description>
<![CDATA[Nedbank debited an amount on my current account on the 23rd for my personal loan. I sent in retrenchment forms in February for the insurance to settle the account, yet debits are still going off. The following are the problems regarding the latest debit: 1) My current acc, instead of saving acc where debit order is signed was debited. 2) Debit order date is 25th, not the 23th as per contract. 3) No authorisation was given for the debit or the change in date. Nedbank has therefore contravened the legal terms of the contract. I spoke to Nathiel (agent), Sharon (supervisor) and Hafiz (manager) at the loans collections department. I was advised it was a system error and it would take 3 days to refund, yet my acc is now sitting at a zero balance with 2 debit orders to come, meaning that i will incur unpaid charges due to a Nedbank error. Upon requesting the ombudman's contact details Hafiz furnised me with details for MFC and Nedbank Insurance!!! If Nedbank does not refund immediately due to its error I will be closing all my accounts with immediate effect. Nedbank also needs to advise as to why the insurance has not paid out due to retrenchment, and refunf my monies from february.<hr>]]>

      <title>Standard Bank - Billing / Accounts - NOT NOTIFIED ABOUT EXPIRY OF CAR RENTAL AGREEMENT</title>
      <description>
<![CDATA[An amount of about R58, 000 has been debited from my account by stannic and when I called to enquire I was told it was for the vehicle because my agreement had expired. This caused so much inconvenience for me as not all the money they inteded to withdraw was available in the account thus making me to incur bank charges and giving me a bad record on my account. I would have appreciated it if Stannic would have called me to notify me about the expiry of the rental vehicle agreement and would have at least notified me about their intention to recover the money for the vehicle. I was never consulted or given an option to decide whether I intend keeping or returning the vehicle at all. This kind of service is really disgusting and I would appreciate it if you could look after your clients in a proper and dignified manner. Not once have I defaulted in my monthly instalments for the whole finance period in order to be treated in this fashion. Really, really disappointed. <hr>]]>

      <title>Nedbank - Bad Service - Incompetent yet very Cheeky</title>
      <description>
<![CDATA[I experienced the worst service from the Dobsonville branch of Nedbank a few weeks ago. I went in to cancel my cheque account as it was becoming more of a liability than an asset. The assistant told me she would be able to cancel it on the proceeding Monday as they don't cancel services on a Saturday. I agreed to this then enquired about a notice of withdrawal on one of my other account and she took a look at all my account and told me it does not reflect and would reflect the following day as the transaction was done on a holiday from my cellphone. To my surprise as of Tuesday 02/05/2012 I could no longer access my Internet banking anymore. I went into a Pick n Pay kiosk in Cedar square to enquire as my password and pin have never been changed. I was then informed by the call centre agent that my profile had been deleted when my account was closed. When we called the branch to enquire about this and why hadn't't I been told before there was no explanation and the agent told me there's nothing she can do as it is standard process to delete the profile. My question still remains, why was I not informed that my Internet banking would be deleted once i cancel my cheque account?<hr>]]>

      <title>Standard Bank - Expiry Date - Total Chaos!! Card deactivated before expiry date!</title>
      <description>
<![CDATA[I was unable to log onto my online profile and had to go to my private banker.  She was told by Standard Bank Internet Services that my card was deactivated due to the fact that I would receive a new card at the end of the month. It is today only the 24th, and they never notified my of this. When will I receive the new card?? Oh, they don't know as it is still at the printers! I would think that an old card can only be deactivated once they issue you with a new card and register it on their system.  <br> <br> This is totally unacceptable, inconvenient and highly unprofessional! <hr>]]>

      <title>Absa -  A lack of skills - Service complaint</title>
      <description>
<![CDATA[I went to Rivonia Absa bank, to get 3 months bank statements.  Whilst I was there, I was ushered out of the queue and told I could get a bank statement from a regular ATM.  When we got there they were offline.  I was then showed back into the queue, and shortly thereafter told that the entire branch was offline (which happens), BUT! We were then told that there was a branch at Chilli Lane Sunnighill (I double checked they meant chilli-lane)-which I then drove to, only to find there isn't one there, there's just an ATM.  Which I tried to get 3 months bank statements from, (ha-ha!) and you can get a mini-statement, but no bank statements, especially not stamped bank statements.  I needed to do this today, and I only had my lunch hour. I have achieved nothing.<br> <br> The staff at Rivonia were flustered, offered up un-helpful information and the entire branch smacked of the 80's.  They seemed to be students who weren't sure of the system themselves.  They weren't even wearing name badges! This is not what I have come to expect from Absa, and I am very disappointed.  Branches should all be on the same/similar level of competency.  It is the same bank after all.<hr>]]>
