Declined Student Credit card without reasons

<p>I called the Credit card division to enquire of a Declined application for a student credit card. The operators cannot escalate the request to any senior manager nor provide any reason for the declined card. I cannot understand why the application was declined when all the criteria was met. How is a student expected to move on with a credit record that has been declined if there was no credit offered in the first place. I am disappointed with your services and as a parent will close off all my business accounts with ABSA if this matter is not resolved asap. I will also report your website to the FSB for misleading the public.</p>
