Absa just cost me hundreds
<p>I have been an Absa client for 27 years but I am so disappointed and outright ticked off at them right now, about a year and a half ago, we needed to open an account for my son. He lives with my brother, my brother had to go to Cape Town for work and needed to deposit money for my son to pay the Rent and Levies and buy food. My son did not have an ID Document yet and therefor, could not open a savings account. I then opened a savings account in my name with a separate card for my son. I specifically told the lady at Absa - Festival Mall that this card must not have access to ANY of my accounts; she still laughed and assured me that it will not. My Brother has since lost his job and they no longer needed this card anymore so I asked for the card back, seeing that it was opened in MY Name, only to find out that this card has since been linked to my Credit Card!!!!! What???? How???? WHY??? Luckily my Credit Card is almost maxed but they managed to withdraw R500 on this card that was not supposed to be linked to ANY of my accounts. Shame on you Absa!!! R500 might not seem like a lot to you but it is to me.</p>

Dear Nthabiseng,
Just leave it!!!! It is clear by this mail and others that Absa takes customer service as a joke, I have never had to reply like this on any other Hello Peter post, they simply contact me by calling me and the problem gets resolved!! I do not know what you mean when saying “respond using personal e-mail?? Respond to what??? It's not like there is an Absa e-mail address that I can use. I just want my question answered, "Who the hell gave Absa permission to link a Savings account that I SPECIFICALLY asked NOT to have access to any of my other accounts to my Credit card???
