Absa thinks a pensioner is stupid

I am getting sick and tired of this i think people in absa think that just because i am a pensioner i dont know what i am doing far beyond that yet and i will not let you get away with this - how dare you superimpose my signature on a document i did not fill in or even recieve ?????? Yet you and your stupid lot seem to think that i signed this document to cancel my credit insurance - how dim can you get when the policy was still in place and i was paying for it the month after that and its showing on that it is included in the debt review application that went to Cape Town. This has been reported to your ***** department and i want this looked into once and for all i will not be made to look stupid into making me look like i signed a document i never received and never sent or emailed to anyone !!!! Someone else filled in that document got my cellphone number wrong its not even dated or signed by anyone in absa. One person says i cancelled this in december another one says i cancelled it in May - seems no one knows their left foot from their right foot. My attorney has told me to report it to your ***** department as i want a copy of the email which i sent to absa asking for this cancellation (i did get emails from various people in absa in which i was told i had to have or show them proof of another policy in place before i could cancel this one ) two people in absa emailed me that i have the emails. I want a copy of the email that i sent to absa asking for the document and a copy of the email which was sent back with this document sent back and a copy of the acknowledgement of this document . I am not stupid i know what i have signed and not signed and its so easy for you to use a digital signature to copy it to another document - sort this out - and this time dont pass the buck to someone else all the time get someone in management to sort this out lot of ******

In addition to this i have been told by yvonne barnard thomas that i cancelled this policy on teh 27th of May yet absa tells me i cancelled it in december ???? I recieved correspondence from reza louw that a policy cannot be cancelled unless you have another one in place. I was informed by absa and ombuds that the credit life insurance was not in place yet i paid in a payment on 23 january of R4710 which included the credt life insurance i made sure of this as i asked the debt guides and they emailed me that i was included all these emails have been sent to absa. I tranferred to debt guides/debt care their first payement was R3000 the papers were all sent to steyn coetzee in cape town and the proof of the credit life included was in those documents which were all sent to them registered mail which were sent to them in February they recieved them in March but at that time we went into lock down so all the paperwork got held up but the one attorney at this firm stated that "the credit life is in place at all times" I now want this sorted by absa life as they keep saying their was "no credit life in place" come on will you i have been told by another lawyer that the credit life is separated from the loan but it is paid at all times someone obviously doesnt know how to do their job. "if: as Mrs Yvonne barnard thomas claims the credit life was cancelled in May and absa say December why was i paying it in January and why is it still showing up on all the documents with the debt guides??? Once again i want this ********** document which only seemed to materialise when i started all this investigation bought under ***** review and to find out who is responsible for such an act of absolute idiotic behaviour within a bank that they try to make out a customer has filled in a form and signed it - i can tell you i will stand up in court and testify to the fact that this document was never seen by me never signed by me and never sent to anyone in absa by me. Get your facts straight

and i have reported the ***** to your action line how dare someone superimpose my signature on a document i am "supposed" to have been sent by email to which i am supposed to have rep**** and signed this and its not even dated or signed by anyone in absa PLEASE NOTE THIS IS ***** ON YOUR PART i will not put up with this for a bank to get away with this is absolutely beyond me and you still keep pointing fingers at me that i signed it and sent it to you, yet you cannot find the emails in which i am supposed to have asked for this document or from whom i recieved this document and to whom i sent this document ??????? Do you really think because i am a pensioner i am stupid and dont know what i am doing???? Dont even think it. I am absolutely furious about this that someone could stoop so low to do this !!!
