ABSA UNAUTHORISED LOAN PAYMENT DEDUCTION NO REFUND

Personal Loan double premium deduction and unwillingness to correct.

I paid 7200-00 towards my personal loan premuim on 31-5 2023 and on 5 - 6 - 2023 another 7600-00 was deducted as installment for May 2023 leaving me in dire straits as this was my funds towards food and other urgent expenses. I phoned the Loans division on 5 - 6 - 2023 but they indicated they are unable to refund the double deduction immediately as I need the fund URGENTLY.

Reviewer Update
Still not happy with the service - the fact that the 7200-00 is still not refunded to me resulted in adverse credit listings for me as other accounts could not be paid. ABSA customer service is the WORST!
