ABSA GIVE MY MONEY, PLEASE!!!!
In January 2019 I decided to de register my business, ELDO LOG HOMES. Everything went smoothly until Absa phoned and spoke to my wife on 8 August 2019, informing her they noticed that my business was de registered but I was still using my business account. The gentleman asked her how long we needed to close the account and then he suggested 30 days. On 16 August 2019 I received the following SMS from Absa.
"Absa: Dear client, we have noticed that the CIPC status for the following entity Eldo Log Homes Cc*** reflects as Deregistered and therefore no longer complies with the Companies Act of 2008. Please provide Absa with proof of re-registration of the entity WITHIN 30 DAYS after receipt of this message. Failure to do so will result in Absa removing your ability to transact on your accounts. Auth FSP/NCRCP7"
On 20 August 2019 (4days later) I tried to draw money from my account and I was informed that my account was frozen. I had R 50,000.00 in my account which was meant for salaries for my workers on the next Friday. I went to my Absa branch in Gansbaai and was referred to Herm**** branch. I went from office to office to try and convince them to allow me to get my money. The team leader of Absa Herm**** told me that there was nothing they could do. I have to re register my business before they can open my account, for me to get my money back. The reinstatement deed is still not ready and I still do not have my R 50,000.00. I feel Absa did not keep to their agreement of giving me 30 days to close my account and then closed it within 1 week. All I want is to withdraw my own hard earned money, by just taking/keeping it is theft in my opinion. My business and I am sure no other business can stay on their feet after "losing" R50,000.00. PLEASE HELP ME TO GET MY HARD EARNED MONEY FROM ABSA!!
