Absa handed my son over to credit bureau while Actually owing him money!

<p>My son closed his Absa accounts 3 years ago including his paid up credit card. Absa never cancelled the card and kept on adding admin fees. Now they handed him over to the credit Bureau for +- R550 rand. On phoning them the actually confessed that the made a mistake and that in fact they owe him the money! We have a mail from them to prove it. Although the admitted their mistake the attitude from their side is , so sad so sorry but you have to clear your own name at the credit bureau's (4 of them). All that we demand from them is to clear their mistake and give my son back his credit rating. Absa can contact us on **********

After some comminication fro ABSA all has gone quite and ABSA has done NOTHING to clear their mistakes at the Credir Beuraue. Anyone got any ideas whereto next?

Your son as an account holder needs to speak to Stefan

OK. So let’s give credit where it is due. Stefan Masser went to a lot of trouble to sort the mess his colleges made. The net result was that my son was reimbursed the money owed and his record was corrected at the credit bureau. I hope they found where their proses went wrong and avoid placing other customers in this position.
