ABSA bank incompetence.

I am absolutely outraged and frustrated with ABSA will and estate department. My father passed away 4 and a half years ago. His estate was registered 4 years and a half ago. Not once did Absa notify us that there was a will for him. Now 4 years and a half later when the process is about to be finalised, ABSA steps in and says.. yeah we have a will. Last year the attorneys notified ABSA that the estate will remain by them due to lack of financial funds and we were informed that Absa would renounce the will. I have sent letters out I have sent EMAILS out to Calvin Brown. Nothing. Not a phone call not a message. When u phone the number to speak to him u hold on for 15 minutes plus and if u lucky to speak to someone he is not available? This whole process is being held up cause of Absa and its incompetence. It is now May 2026 still not a word? Unacceptable. You are grieving the loss of a loved one and its shocking that what my father left behind for my mom, she is unable to benefit from it. My mom is becoming ill by the day..... just SHOCKING that u can treat people like this.

Good morning, Russell,

THANK YOU so much for the EXCEPTIONAL service you gave me. Once you initiated contact with me, you were on a mission to assist me and get this process finalized. You stayed in touch and was constantly updating me about the process. I would like to stress the following.... NOT ONCE... not one time did I ever have to phone and follow up, send messages or phone calls... NOT ONCE :) You went OVER and BEYOND and you got it DONE.... I hope ABSA values you and looks after you, you are a DIAMOND in the dozen. In a world where customers have sadly gotten used to being another number or a face in a crowd, you have beaten that system today. You listened and understood this terrible process my family and I were going through, your sheer determination and tenacity, has ensured that this painful process can now be concluded and the wishes of my late father can be fulfilled. I wish you many blessings, and I pray that one day when you are in need, you will receive the support and kindness you have shown my family and I :)
