Appalling Service right up to management level at Absa.

I closed a personal Loan Account at Absa and was still debitted for that loan. It took me an entire Christmas holiday to try and track where this money went to, and to get it refunded. I sent emails to the Actionline and all they did was keep responding by saying the matter is resolved so the case is closed. This resulted in me having to do it time and time again. Every manager I contacted passed me on to another one and to another. Emails left unanswered. Nobody knew where the money went. Eventually I got hold of someone who found it in a Sundry Account. Everytime I was put through to someone, they just kept me swinging by putting me through all of the telephonic paces. Cost me so much time and money. This month after all the trauma, I discover that my savings account is in overdraft because the same Debit Order went through for a phantom account so here we go again. my food money for the month swallowed up. My savings Account in overdraft and nobody knowing where this money is. Very Scary. Took and entire month to get it back last time. let;s see how long it takes this time. Appalling Service!!!!

Dear Basani I get this type of response each time but no refund. I need that budgetted money refunded before the end of today and my savings account out of overdraft before the end of today. I hope your response will be more prompt and professional to what I have experienced. I have been an Absa customer for 20 years and have never experienced such shoddy service right up to management level.

I also feel that the employee who did not close this account and cancel the debit order should be brough to task. Your customers are affected by people not doing their jobs properly. I cannot wait for 8 days for someone to get back to me only then still have to wait further. It must be corredted today and this debit order stopped immediately and the money refunded so i do not pay interest on a Savings Account in overdraft because of Absas shoddy service. You dont wait 8 days to take it off my account yet you have all this time to correct your mistakes. This needs personal attention now right up to correction level. I am not prepared to be put on the swing of your procedures sorry!!

I have given all of my information to 5 people by now. Perhaps yu can take the trouble to source that. I do not want an email stating that you will get back to me in 8 working days please. This needs urgent personal attention at management level by this stage please.
