Absa R10 000 refund

At the beginning of March I app**** for vehicle finance via email and spoke to a guy named Sipho Maboela. After being approved for finance I told him that I would like to purchase a car via Aucor in Cape Town. He said I can go ahead with the auction and send him an invoice once I win the bid. After paying R10 000 registration with Aucor and subsequebtly winning the bid Sipho advised me that ABSA does not finance auction cars and I forfeited my R10 000 with Aucor. I feel that its very unfair as the consultant should have advised me from the get go that Auction cars are an exclusion and the bank should refund me my R10k as the negligence was from their side.

So Nthabiseng you concluded all this from what your consultant told you. Why didn't you take the time to go through our interactions where you will clearly see all the correspondence and calls. Please do your job because I'm going to escalate this further and reaches the Ombuds.

Feedback was given to you that the consultant did say that we do not finance auction cars as per the trail email you gave to me.
