ABSA *****s YOUR money BEWARE!!!!!!

<p>I have advised ABSA since January 2016 of my intention to sell my property. My problem is I cannot find my notes of dates and names, however, do have an email (with a reference)that I did in fact give notice of my intention to sell so as to avoid being penalised (which happened anyway) Don't know why you bother having a call centre and thanks for the false advertising btw soon as though your pre recorded massage makes us as a consumer aware your calls are recorded but when I called cancellations yesterday to fight for money that is rightfully mine-I was told that your calls simply are NOT recorded and therefore there is no proof that I in actual fact DID give MORE than sufficient notice. Shaun at cancellations was not even interested in investigating just simply well that is that!</p> <p>Reading the current ratings and reviews on ABSA, I think it is absolutely DISGUSTING of you!!!</p> <p>I have been a long standing LOYAL customer of ABSA and you have made more than enough from me but it stops NOW. The service I have ALREADY received from FNB is FANTASTIC - maybe you should take a leaf out of their book (you'd swear I have been banking with them for years).</p> <p> </p>

So how is your investigation going or were you just saying you would investigate and then do nothing like you always do? I have still had no reply on my email complaint either which is no surprise either!!!

As luck would have it, it turns out I might not have been able to find my notes of dates and names of call centre staff I spoke to nearly a year ago, but what I did keep was an sms received from ABSA acknowledging receipt of my notice. I also have an sms received from transferring Attorneys 05/08/2016. The new notice required by ABSA says 25/09/2016. If transerring Attorneys received before that date, I would not have been required to give another notice. These sms's are available should you require them (although one would think you would have record of this).

I feel very strongly about you charging penalties incorretly and this matter will be reported to the Obudsman. I hereby request my refund sooner rather than later as this now constitutes THEFT!!!
