ABSA WANTS TO MAKE MAXIMUM PROFIT FROM COVID-19

I requested a 1 MONTH PAYMENT HOLIDAY against my personal loan. After waiting for 3 weeks some consultant called me to inform me that my request has been approved.

What are the terms? I enquired. The consultant told me they will extend the term of the loan BY 16 MONTHS to recoup the interest. What kind of ripping nonsense is this through this pandemic we are facing? Greedy bustards!

I am going to further log this with the BANKING OMBUDSMAN.
