Lifting of session on bond that is paid in full for almost 10 years

I am a ABSA platinum client and do have a insurance that must pay out but before they do so, they need a simple letter from ABSA that session can be lifted. In today's IT environment it should be simple to see on system that I have no financial obligation towards this anymore and issue the letter. According to ABSA it is not that simple and I just have to wait. On that premise I lodged a formal complaint to ABSA action line. Numerous E-mails and calls, apart from "apologies for inconvenience caused" have resulted in nothing so far. It may not be a priority for ABSA but is very important to me and require quick resolution of matter.

Reviewer Update
Matter now resolved. Once it was allocated to a specific person(Mavis in this case), issue was resolved promptly and this part of the ABSA complaints department worked well in my case. The generic call centre where you potentially speak to a different person every time you call is not working for me and have added to my frustration.
