Absa Bank and Personal loan department

Good Day In 2011 i was under debt councelling, 2013/2014 i was done and clearence certificates were issued to all the providers and sent through. Absa personal loan and credit card department constanctly asked for the clearence certificate and it was emailed over and over again, by Mr Vorster himself and by me. After all these years now out of the blue, my money out of my credit card is taken stands on 0.00 and when i phoned it said that my account is at the debt councelling department, i mean i have been using my card .3-4 years without any problems, my new cards have been issued, loans were taken out and now out of the blue Absa puts my credit card on hold, takes my money, because i am according to them still on debt councelling. So all the emails that were sent to ********** were missed placed all these years because we have sent it through numerous of times. So now i am sitting with no money because i can't withdraw nothing. It is like paying one account for years and then one month getting an account saying you did not pay. It does not work like that. Who are they to decide after all these years and proof of clearance that i am still under debt councelling. It was a slap in the face when i stood at the till and the card did not want to go through, but Absa so willing took my monthly interest and charges when the payments were done to the credit card.

Reviewer Update
1. Absa puts my new credit card from nearly 4 years under debt councelling that has got nothing to do with the court order of 2011/2012. 2. After numerous phones calls and frustration my money was put back. Then there after i can't do any transactions via internet banking or withdraw from my credit card at an ATM, and also numerous phone calls the whole weekend, absa call centre declares that my card is active and not suspended and there is no hold. 3. I CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITH MY CARD OR MY MONEY!!!!!! 4. I am taking this matter further, because i have not succeeded with anything, I PAY FOR THE PHONE CALLS that i make and then i am on hold for how long. 5. ABSA IS QUICK TO WITHDRAW ALL THE MONTHLY COSTS FROM CREDIT, BUT ABSA DOES NOT FIX THE MISTAKE FROM THEIR SIDE. 6. WHO GAVE ABSA THE RIGHT TO PLACE MY NEW CREDIT CARD UNDER THE DEBT COUNCELLING DEPARTMENT, IF MY NEW CARD HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE OLD PAID UP CARD FROM 2011/2012??????????????? 7. I WOULD LIKE A MANANGERS CONTACT DETAILS SO THAT I CAN GIVE IT TO THE PERSON DEALING WITH THIS MATTER of mine. Thank-you Yannique
