GREED AND PATHETIC SERVICE FROM ABSA

I logged a complaint with the CEO’s office C-***3 because I wasn’t offered the product (Tyre & Rim; Dents and scratches) I had originally asked for from Innovation Group, instead I was offered (“Wheel” & Rim; dents and scratches). This was established in March already that I had been offered an incorrect product hence the complaint. Received a mail from Lindiwe Rantsane on the 17 October 2022 that issue is resolved by cancellation of my policy with a full refund from date of inception. To the contrary, my vehicle finance as it stands has been hiked by 8.6%. I call through to Absa and explain myself, the lady calls for her superior and again was expected to explain everything all over again which I refused and demanded that they talk bout it and call me back with conclusions. One bad service after another from MY BANK!

Ever since the laid complaint, I’ve still been calling to Absa to get things done. Yesterday was promised a refund of the overcharge and still nothing. You’d think logging a complaint or escalating to the CEO’s office would expedite a speedy resolution in resolving their incompetencies.
So now I have to call again to follow up on the refund whilst I’m at a loss and the only thing one is likely to get out of this inconvenience is a SORRY!
This is pure bullying and clear indication that Absa’s processes and policies are not for clients but for their own greedy malpractices.
You send my statement to my partner without my consent. To date I'm still beating the brunt of your malpractice.

Dearest HelloPeters,

The saga continues. Post the cancellation of the add-ons to my vehicle finance, there were clearly miscalculation in that there’s more credit due to me which I since asked to be refunded on Friday already and was told of a 24-48hrs waiting period. It’s now going for 72hrs.
I’ve lost all confidence in my bank. Starting off with the closure of my cheque Account. It’s evident that even complaining one isn’t taken seriously.

Only now the feedback comes in.
Basically to say there is no amount due to me yet I can see it in my account as “advance amount”. In short I’m crazy and the person I spoke to on Friday promised me zilch …not even an apology for the false information I received from that individual on Friday. Il call back, get the reference as well as the name I was provided with and make more public notice until somebody picks up the phone and calls me .
