They offer a limit increase, but no response after documents submitted!!!

I received a call from Absa a few weeks ago with regards to increasing my ABSA Credit Card limit. The consultant went through the quote with me and said I was provisionally approved, but I will receive final confirmation within 3-5 business days, after the affordability has been completed. Now this all happened before 25.12.2017.

I then received a text asking for documents. So, I submitted payslips and gave ABSA authorization to access my bank statements to verify that the salary was indeed paid into my account. NO RESPONSE OR FEEDBACK WAS RECEIVED!

I then e-mailed Absa to request feedback, but the lady said I must contact the Transactional Funds department. ***** that! I am not phoning after Absa, who in the first place contacted me and offered me a limit increase. Then, I received a text saying that the application expired to due no receipt of my documents! Are you kidding me????

So, I went back onto my internet banking and re-app****. I again sent the required documents and to this day no feedback was received!!

Please can someone get back to me urgently as this is absolutely pathetic service

Thank you

It has now been 5 days and no feedback has been received from ABSA. Can someone please get in contact with me. I am sure the investigation doesn't take longer than 5 days???
