ABSA giving me the Runaround

Im being given the runaround and I don't have time for this as I need to sort this out urgently as I will be leaving for overseas on Sunday for a lengthy period of time.

I am supposed to be receiving emails from ABSA every time I make online payments, when my debit orders go through etc and emails from ABSA regarding any issues they may have with my accounts etc. I have not received any emails from ABSA regarding my account since the 27th August 2019.

I have subsequently received 2 marketing emails...21 November 2019 and again 5 December 2019.

I tried to phone ***this morning only to get the usual runaround.

This problem was again highlighted this morning when I received a call from Vanessa (***) querying a Euro payment returned by the beneficiary due to incorrect details.

When I asked Vanessa why was I not advised when it happened, she said she had sent me emails, which of course I never received. I asked her to send to my gmail account which she was hesitant to do for security reasons, but I told her there is no other way and also, I never received the email in my gmail account either. Both email addresses are not linked at all and yet I have not received on either. The only link is that they are both mine.

I need this sorted out urgently as I am receiving emails from everyone except ABSA emails relating to my accounts. Only receive ABSA marketing emails.

I was advised to go into a branch. This is an urgent trip I have to do, so I do not have the time to go to a branch. Someone in ABSA needs to investigate and sort this out!

Hi Pravesh, seems you didn't understand the complaint.....Im not receiving emails from ABSA. In other words, ABSA's emails are not reaching me EXCEPT their marketing emails. Now you saying you going to send me feedback/resolution via email...seriously? How are you going to know whether I have received it. How am I going to know whether you have sent it or when?

Thank you. Seems I only get Absa mails from "***" but I DO NOT get emails from "***".
I don't know where Vanessa was sending the emails from but I never received hers either.
