Worst bank in SA, I will never deal with Absa again.

I have a student loan account for my daughter, and in 2020 Absa, like other banks, offered a payment holiday for 3 months. After this, the bank decided to list those months as being in arrears, started calling me twice daily, harassing me for payment. I finally agreed to a payment arrangement for the arrears, but despite this I am still listed with the credit bureaus. I have a current complaint lodged with the banking ombudsman.
