The so-called payment holiday

ABSA Send me a sms asking if you want 3 months payment relief, I answered es because I am a sole proprietor and my business is closed, then I see a shocker on FB that for the 3 months you are not paying Absa wants to ad 12 months to that clients back payments, So in my case for R18000 they want R80 000 in return, I have contacted them via email but no response, tried to phone and held on for 32 minutes with no answer, they have an option that they will call you back, nothing, Absa are keeping their clients in the dark about the real cost of this payment holiday and should be open and tell the truth about the cost on their websites, because there it only says interest will be charged, tell the people the truth about the cost, I am still waiting to hear from Absa

As you can clearly see, Absa only have automated responses for Hollo Peter, I don't get the answers I am looking for only automated responses. Why is it that Absa cant answer my question, All I am asking is that they inform me the exact cost of this 3 moths holiday, they only send me that interest will be charged for the 3 moths, this means to me, so that interest will be added to your outstanding amount, and you will be paying for that for the rest of your term. Maybe that is the reason they don't want to give me the straight and right answer, Absa just give me the figures of the cost for the 3 months

Yes Rezona I am talking about that email. no answer to my question, only says interrist will be charged, I want to know exactly how much this 3 months is going to cost me, not just that interest will be charged, I have to make the decision if this 3 months of not paying is going to cost me to much or not, so I can see what my best option should be, but I cant do that i I don't get the figures from Absa
