SHOCKING SERVICE!!! Absa Gold Cheque Account

Hi there<br> <br> I am absolutely disgruntled with the way ABSA treat their clients. A few months ago I contacted them regarding another query I had. I have been a client of theirs for years, with a Savings account and a Gold Credit Card, Money Builder etc. I was told over the phone about this great new cost savings account, the ABSA GOLD CHEQUE ACCOUNT.<br> <br> I was told that I will save a lot on bank charges etc. with only a once of fee monthly fee. AND I was told that the switching of debit orders they will do and will be hassle free.<br> <br> THAT WAS MY BIGGEST CONCERN, I am busy and don't have time to do all of this. I opened the account. Now MONTHS later none of my debit orders are moved. No one have contacted me. I am paying a monthly fee on the cheque account of R98, although I am not using it.<br> <br> This morning I called the call centre. After holding on for how long, I got told I must call another number, *** OR CHANGE MY DEBIT ORDERS MYSELF at the various places.<br> <br> Needless to say this number is dead as a mouse.<br> <br> ABSA I AM REALLY UNHAPPY, and have been paying HUGE fees monthly for years. Will not recommend ABSA to anyone, have burnt my fingers to many times with them!!!
