Business consultants not answering but passing the buck

I opened an instant business banking online all went smooth. I was told i would be assigned a business consultant .. I was when i emailed them on the welcome email it stated it was (Shepstone Mbele) however when i emailed it was actually Thembalethu Mbele

That was not the issue the issue is the fact that i asked a question and got no feedback until i called then i was told that he is confirming and will email that same day near the end of the day i called again and was told that he did not realise the out box was full and he needed to clear it ...

When i got the email i had no resolution as it was more questions He had no clue who i was and i had to resend him part of the welcome letter. ( I work in a service orientated company and i know each of my clients ) I over looked this then i asked my query then i got no reply I had to call in again.. ( please note i am trying to start my own bunsiness but currently i am working in a call center so i am not always able to call or take calls) and then I waited and waited and eventually I got an email stating that he is busy finding out the answer. There after i called again after a day and I was told he will send me an email with my feedback. When i got the feed back i got was call this person to assist you with the business integrator. I called back and asked what the business integrator is he said it will help you do what you need to do speak to the person i sent you details and i sent him your details. REALLY ... such terrible service as a result i tried again to contact the other consultant called Zunaid no ans then i called Themba again he siad call Zunaid i asked why do i always have to call for feedback he said he cant tell me anything i asked how much is merchant service he said he doesnt know i need to call the merchant desk... So why do i have a business consultant when i have to do all the work anyways. Besides that I have been waiting on Zunaid for two days no reply so how do i know how much it is going to cost me and how do i know if i can start my business if i am not able to even secure payment solutions with my business bank.

very disappointed and I was looking forward to doing business with ABSA. But now ABSA's consultants are not even able to give feedback timeously Please advise Please advise

Dear Nthabiseng ref ********** I have received an email from Zunaid , when i reasked him for pricing i was sent a page with numbers and abbreviations which i do not understand ... as i am new to all of this .. .I dont even know which price is applicable to what im doing... why is this so hard .. Why is it impossible for you consultants to explain... eg on the website it says essential business package R115 includes 1,2,3 easy enouhg on the email its got lots of business integrators and lots of pricing and lots of abbriviations how would i know whats going on so much for making life easier ... I did mention that I am in a call center so i am not able to take calls ...
