PAID-UP LETTER ISSUED BY ABSA LAST YEAR AND AGAIN THIS YEAR- BUT CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE DECLINED BY ABSA: INCONSISTENCY RECORD KEEPING AND UNCREDIBLE BANKING SYSTEM

Hello Peter.

I am frsutrated by the incredibility of Absa bank systems and inconsistency. I am in possession of a paid-up letter issued by Absa bank for one of the accounts, and also hold a clearance certificate which was issued by the DEBT REVIEW company listing the accounts that have been made paid-up/prescribed. ABSA has rather sent me an inconsistent email stating they are declining my Debt clearance based on that they saying they have reviewed my account.I am disputing this based on grounds of inconsistency, treating clients unfairly and also compromising my character on the grounds of honesty and integrity.They issued me with a paid up letter last year November and they gave instriction to the Debt review to clear listing.I am now stuck in a predicament because of their inconsistency and lack of credibility in their systems. I dont trust anything that they are communicating with me anymore, I am hoping you would intervene in this regard as I hold proof of email received from Absa stating the clearance, a year later they are disputing the clearance. I dont understand on what grounds as this now needs to be attended to legally as I am not comfortable with their record keeping systems and whatever that appears on their systems needs to be investigated thoroughly as this is unprofessional especially coming from a financial services provider.Please urgently intervene as I have been compromised, as I have also shared this letter to my potential employers which I have been interviewed by, and this will reflect poorly on my character in terms of honesty and intergrity..I have sent a complaint to Absa actionline but I am not happy with their SLA on this matter as it is now going to impact negatively on my name as I have already issued the Clearance certificate to my potential employer to conduct background checks.Please could this level of unprofessionalism be addressed immediately.

WHEN DID ABSA GET TO THIS POINT OF SUCH APPAULING SERVICE, THEY KEEP ASKING ME FOR AN ACCOUMT NUMBER THE WHOLE DAY, THE ACCOUNT NUMBER IS IN THE DOCUMENTS ATTACHED FOR GOODNESS SAKE, CAN THEY ATLEAST READ THEIR OWN DOCUMENTS WHICH THEY SENT THROUGH TO ME. I HAVE RESPONDED WITH ATTACHED DOCUMENTS CONTAINING THE EXACT DETAILS. PLEASE STOP WASTING MY TIME AND DO YOUR JOB...

I do want to bring to the attention of Management the post sale barriers and prejudice caused by one of the consultants at ABSA COLLECTIONS DEPARTMENT. Tshepi Tenyane, the lady has been making run around from pillar to post for the past 2 days, she us displaying utter incompetence in her duties and hence bringing the Banks reputation into disrepute.I have constantly been attaching the documents requested and she is still requesting the documents in every email.Eventually she just closed my complaint without any proper feedback.please kindly provide me with all the call recordings as well as further details of what the next step or department I can escalate my query to.This is simply poor and unprofessional coming from a financial giant such as Absa bank..I do request all the call recordings as well as emails in response to my query so I can escalate further if ABSA is dailing to redolve my query..I am utterly unsatisfied and this is just APPAULING to say the list.I am not even getting any phone call or any productive feedback in relation to the matter.PLEASE COULD MANAGEMENT INTERVENE..The consultant is *********** in carrying out her duties and does not seem to understand what customer service is all about.Please address this matter and give me feedback..I have influxed your systems with one and the same thing for the past 2 days but in response I am receiving further frustrations.WHY DID I BOTHER COMPLAIN IF THIS IS HOW ABSA TREATS THEIR CUSTOMERS, TCF IS COMPROMISED BY ABSA AT ALL LEVELS.
