Incorrect Delinquency Listing on Credit Bureau by ABSA
I am deeply disappointed with the errors in my credit report caused by ABSA’s incorrect delinquency reporting, which has significant consequences for my career in the financial industry. Despite always making timely payments on my ABSA credit card and vehicle finance accounts—and any occasional missed payments being resolved within 30 days—I am now wrongly listed as delinquent, with alleged arrears exceeding 150 days.
The dates for these supposed arrears are continuous, month by month, raising serious doubts about the accuracy of this report. If I had truly been 150 days delinquent, my vehicle would have been repossessed long ago, which has clearly not happened. This false listing is already impacting my professional life and may further damage my future employment prospects.
I am urging ABSA to investigate this issue immediately, as I have maintained an impeccable record with your institution and have always met my obligations. I also request that ABSA corrects the erroneous delinquency listing with all relevant credit bureaus without delay.
Your prompt attention to this matter is crucial, as I am entitled to fair and accurate reporting and should not face repercussions for an error I did not cause. Please escalate this complaint to the highest levels for immediate correction and a formal apology for the distress this has caused.
Thank you,
ABSA has consistently mishandled my account, as shown in the breakdown of just a few transactions:
April 2023
Unpaid amount of R11,513.94
Sundry charges of R5,349.21
Payment of R11,513.94
Balance carried over: R5,756.97
May 2023
Interest adjustment of R85.27
Unpaid amount: R5,756.97
Sundry charges: R69.00
Payment of R11,513.94

June 2023
Interest adjustment of R100.34
Unpaid amount: R0.00
Sundry charges: R5,096.52
Payment of R5,843.52
Balance carried over: R5,942.58
July 2023 (the only month I missed a payment)
Interest adjustment of R87.63
Unpaid amount: R5,927.32
Sundry charges: R69.00
Payment of R5,927.32

August 2023
Interest adjustment of R176.35
Unpaid amount: R5,927.32

Interest adjustment of R207.84
Unpaid amount: R11,927.32
Sundry charges: R69.00
Payment recorded as R30,227.32, though no such payment was made.
These inaccuracies suggest manipulation or blatant incompetence, and even though I continued making payments, my arrears escalated. Meanwhile, ABSA has made it impossible for me to access my archived statements on my credit card account, raising further doubts about their transparency.
I urgently demand a resolution and a clear explanation for these errors, which have already cost me a job opportunity. This situation is unacceptable, and if unresolved, I will take further action.

Here’s what I need:
Release my credit card statements immediately. I need these to file disputes with credit bureaus, as ABSA’s errors have now marked me as a credit risk.
Accountability for ABSA’s negligence. You have impacted my ability to purchase on credit and damaged my career standing. It’s unacceptable and must be rectified.
If ABSA does not act swiftly, I will pursue every means to expose these practices and ensure others are aware of what they’re risking by doing business with you.
