ABSA takes the food out of you mouth

I just want to understand something…

I client from ABSA is struggling financially…. He informs his bank of this on various occasions… All they offer is a one month payment deferral on his vehicle finance.

After this the client is forced to apply for debt review.

Before this proses has been finalised the client receives a refund from SARS for wrongful penalties logged against his returns all just to hear the Bank will not release the money.

Money that belongs to the client, Money that would be a lifeline for a already struggling client and yet the Bank claims it as if it is their money.

I beg of you to make this make sense!!! Where is the humanity in this? How on earth can a bank do this????

Then please explain to me this how on earth if this process is done allowing you to take my money how is my accounts still accumulating intrest. That is textbook unfair enrichment!!! What the hell is the purpose of a debt review then????? Why don’t you come and take my vehicle but still have me pay for it!!!!!!!!!!
