Absolutely no service! Shocking!

<p>What a nightmare dealing with ABSA. I am an insurance broker and have requested for deregistration documents from ABSA in order for my client's claim to be paid out. It's two months down the line and no feedback from them despite a number of follow ups I've been making. When I call they refer me to AVAF (their admin division) and there is never an answer, you keep bouncing back to their switch board. I've sent numerous emails but still nothing!</p> <p>My client is paying for a vehicle that's been ****** because he fears ruining his credit profile by not paying them. His vehicle was a taxi and his primary source of income. The client is now at a breaking point- he has no income, ABSA is holding things up. </p> <p>I have never been so fructrated in my life!</p> <p>"From: Fikile Shoba ********** <br /> Sent: 25 April 2017 01:13 PM<br /> To: ********** /> Cc: 'Candace Foster'; 'Khanyi - Fosters Insurance Brokers'; 'Stanley Tsotetsi'<br /> Subject: FW: Deregistration Request: BN Jali Claim no: LOMB/TAXI/0022/17 Account No: ********** 8</p> <p> </p> <p>Good day Mr Bridger,</p> <p> </p> <p>I am not sure if you are the right person to assist me but I am making a follow up on the deregistration documents that were requested for last month.

My query has been resolved, thanks to Rodney who have taken the matter to his hands and ensured that it was succesfully resolved. He phoned me on Tuesday, assured me that we will get the documents this week and boy did he deliver! He was a very friendly gentleman and he encouraged me to let him know should I experience any difficulties going forward.

I did not want to resort to a public complaint but I am thrilled with the service I got aferwards. Thanks to Nthabiseng Sibande as well who made a follow up to check if everything was sorted, much appreciated :)

Kindest of regards,

Fikile Shoba
