Absa Vehicle finance Department/ Legal

I Have vehicle finace with Absa and my car was in an accident. my insurance short paid the amount of R30 000 i stand to be corrected. i went into the branch to ask how much i need to pay now per month and they told me a R1050 pm. now i get a without a debicheck out of the blue to approve an amount R853.68 with no explanation. i call and they have been sending me from pillar to post. now i am told my account is with credit burro and no one informed me about anything happening i am under the impression that everything is fine and all along my account has been moved from department to the next due to it not being settled when i have made arrangements. i was never told of any options that i have by their VF department, i was a first time car owner, i did not know about short fall insurance. however i did not have any problem continuing paying my car instalment but their VF Department i cannot par R5600 now since most of the money has been paid. i said fine not know and not being informed if this happens my name with be messed up. i need this sorted. i already have a problem with Absa and i was trying to make sure that. all is good this time and this is what they did to me.

Reneilwe Mtsweni Liaison Office from ABSA is very horrible when is come to customer certification. Yhoooooo i cannot wait to be done with everything ABSA. After all the legal threats from them about Vehicle finance i am told to settle the account and i did and all this while while they are looking for their money i am able to get hold of Reneilwe Mtsweni Liaison Officer (Recoveries) Absa Vehicle and asset finance Off Balance Sheet. i paid off the account and from the 29th April i have tried to contact this woman on the phone and emails she is AWOL. no email confirmation and she never picks up calls. this is so frustrating. can someone from this bank contact me with a paid up letter for this account. or let me know if you refusing to give it to me so i can take this up f. You guys have also reused to let me listen to the call that started this whole thing. Must i fight with this bank every time
