Absa Customer Service simple sucks.

I have been trying to get eNatis documents for the car that is registered on my name at Licensing department but it was purchased through ABSA by my late cousin. The first thing I did was to go to licensing department to check if I can change the title as the car was long paid up. They advise me to contact ABSA. I made a phone call in late Feb to get the process of how do I go about getting these document as I need to change the ownership to my name. I was advised initially to get the required documents which were listed on this email:

"Good Day Please find the process and emails below. If no POA inform caller to submit following documents to the deceased department (Decest 6 ********** Decest10 ********** Decest3 ********** Decest7 ********** Decest9 ********** 1. Death certificate 2. Letter of authority 3. ID copy of the deceased 4. ID copy of the executorship

I then submitted the documents on the 26th of February to the following emails: ********** ********** a week was gone by without any respond or feedback then I started making a follow up with phone calls, where I was given these numbers to call ********** or 4294 or 4262. The frustrating part started when I called and told the email was supposed to be sent to this address ********** then I asked that particular person why she is not forwarding the email I sent to the correct one, then she did however nothing came out of it. A week later I followed up again and was told the to resend the request again with all the docs to ********** which I did on the 9th of March. I followed up again to find out how far the request was then I was sent from one post to another, with some giving me excuses that they can't open the account cause its too old or was done long time ago, so and so need to do this and that. Some Andrew guy called to say the executorship letter was not the right one, so he explained they need the letter from Master.

All in all my experience with ABSA has been disappointing and really sucks. No one seems to take the ownership of the request and there is no reference number provided that there is a case logged or someone is looking into this. Customer service is really bad and no feedback is provided unless you make a phone call which also end up being sent from one person to another which really sucks cause all I need is someone to tell me exactly where we are with this request, how long is it going to take to get these document? I have sent another request about a week an half ago and also sent another follow up email on the 19th to get feedback, nothing has been received so I don't even know who to call cause that will frustrate me even more.

Dear Customer

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. Kindly provide us with the deceased's account/ID number to log a formal complaint for investigation. Also use the private reply for me to see the details. We will investigate the matter and furnish feedback shortly.
