Sent from Pillar to post

<p>I opened an account online on 24 May 2017. Upon enquiring on how long it takes I was advised that it taked 3 to 4 work days. After 4 days I called as I have not received a call or correspondence. I was told my documents were not received. I e-mailed the documents and called to confirm if it is received. On Friday, 2 June 2017 I was told I can go to a branch, that the account is active. On Saturday, 3 June I visited the Cleary Park branch and was told there that the account is not active and that it has a soft lock on it. I was given a number to call as the division that can assist does not work on weekends. I called today and was told they cannot assist me so I am now just wanting to know what is going on. I have sent emails and get automatic replies that someone will call but I dont get called. This is not on. Really. </p>

***

I would just like to know why Absa does not call customers when their emails say someone will call you. I have had an email today requesting my ID and payslip again. Couldnt's someone call on the 30th when I sent the email to say that the docs were not clear? Why wait for a complaint?

All want now is the money my employer transfered to that account to be refunded to me so I can cancel this application as Absa is treating me like a ********.

My manager made a transfer on 26 May 2017. Could it possibly be hanging somewhere as the account is not yet active? On his FNB account the payment shows as being successfull to account ***. The number I was given on 24 May 2017. But can someone call me with regards to getting the account open as I still have not received any clarity on the initial complaint of being sent from branch and then told to call

Is there at all a possibility that someone can call me so I can explain. I uploaded documents with the online application. I was then told that I must email the docs to creditadmin which I did a few times. Yesterday I received an email from Creditadmin requesting additional documents. Which I sent. Can someone please call and tell me what is wrong so I can understand this delay. ********** or ********** . PLEASE. I just need to know what the hold up is. Being told call this one and that one and speaking to a different person every time I call is not on as I need to explain again and then I get transfered to another.
