Absa **********ly Debiting Account RCCS BOS J - No Permission Given
I Christopher Wren, The sole account holder & client state the following…. I'm a Barclay's trust account holder in the UK & I been a client of ABSA since I was 10 years old. I have; in the last 5 days spent over 4hours on the phone with ABSA & been running around from branch to branch waisting hours of my life &, I have been refused help at every turn. This is a horrible waste of my precious time & all that i require is a ********** transaction reversed ASAP.
Here are my points... 1. ABSA accessed my new personal cheque account and **********ly debited my account without any consent what-so-ever, from me, the client and principal account holder.
2. ABSA have not contacted me in any which way or form to advise me of their ********* & ******* ********** action by any way of all my updated contact details that they possess. & by not trying to contact me via telephone, SMS, email, post or cell number or otherwise regarding any alleged outstanding balances or even requesting we come to a payment solution or arrangement instead ABSA just debited an amount of money and still say that I owe ABSA more!
3. I am willing to discuss a payment arrangement if I do owe anything 4. I need this matter resolved urgently & the amount that was debited [R10'000] on the 3rd Nov 2018 was never authorised by me & therefore I must insist that it be refunded/reversed back to me. This amount that you have debited without my consent or going through the correct legal procedure was **********, (not only my funds) but for my expenses, including my rent. The law states NO DEBIT ORDER MY BE PROCESSED ON MY ACCOUNT WITHOUT PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT. I assure you that I have never signed any agreement or debit order for this transaction.
5. I expect this situation to be resolved ASAP
6. Failing that, I am forced to escalate this matter to the Ombudsman including legal advise as your actions do not go in line with the NCA & the consumer protection act with regards to the date the alleged credit card was opened and money being deducted after 5 years of the referred to account being with your institution.
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We will investigate the matter and provide feedback once the matter has been resolved.
