ABSA Credit Card ****

I received a call from Absa wanting to know if I wanted a Credit Card. I accepted the offer and was on the line with a gentleman for about 25 minutes wanting all my details including my underpants and shoe size. I gave him all and got a reference number of *** and I needed to send 3 x Pay Slips, 3 x Bank Statements, Proof of Residence, etc. via email to *** which I did and I must call in 2-3 days to see if I was successful in my application. Then I received about 7 sms messages wanting my documentation to be email of which I already did on the day of application and Absa responded back an hour later that day to say they had received all documents necessary. Not sure why I received 7 x sms messages either? Then I received a call to say I was successful and it takes 2 - 3 working days to process to received the Credit Card. Heard nothing till today when I have just called Absa 5 days later, was asked all these endless security questions and eventually to be told my application was rejected. SO WHY CALL ME AND MADE THE OFFER? HAVE A 20 MINUTE CONVERSATION, EMAIL DOCUMENTS TO ABSA, GET TOLD I WAS SUCCESSFUL? Now it is reject with no feedback, no correspondence, no anything. Think this is a **** to get information from people. I have my vehicle financed with Absa and will not deal with this bunch of useless individuals who actually waste one's time with B...lsh..t!

To whom it may concern(REF ***)I have received another call from Absa telling me that someone who capture my application got my name incorrect. This gent called my 20 minutes ago with asking endless questions, verifications quotes for "security purposes" and "verification" which I don't understand as the issue was within your own organisation with me having my application been rejected due someone not capturing my name correctly! Also that I app**** for R50 000 credit limit and was rejected and should be R49989.00? They originally offered me R70 000 which I said R50 000 is a better amount...then get reject for R11?? Why must potential new clients be subjected to incompetence? How do you want new clients if you cannot get the basics of capturing correct and an application is rejected? Think there needs to be retraining again or looking into your "system" as it is clearly flawed!

Godfrey Ndou, I have not received anything from you except a call to reapply this morning on my phone from Card Application. So not sure what you are providing me with specific contact details.
The reference number for your complaint is C-***8
