No customer service, no Covid relief.
I tried to apply for payment relief on a student loan when the Covid lockdown hit. I sent emails and tried calling a number of times. The calls were not answered, or cut off abruptly. Emails were ignored. Now the account is in arrears, and Absa is refusing to assist in any way. Instead I receive daily calls asking only "When will I pay?" I raised a complaint, which was simply closed off and I was told to just catch up. Departments don't communicate, staff seem to be clueless and I have to explain the whole story every time I speak to someone. Worst bank by far.

03 Nov 2020, 17:28Update: just received back a reply from Absa's "Specialist Case Manager: Social Media Complaints" - only quick reply I've received from the company, in which what I said was just fed back to me, and ending with a comment - "confirm we are closing our file herein". Same as always, no resolution and no-one with whom to discuss this. I even went into a branch and they couldn't help me.
