Worst Banking Experience Ever!!!

<p>I really don't know what I was thinking when I decided to open an Absa Credit Card. This has by far been the worst and most tiring experince I've had.</p> <p>Three weeks ago I app**** to open an Absa Credit Card, which I intended to use to pay for student fees. My application was accepted and my card was subsequently delivered on the 28th Of February. I soon attempted to transact and I was unable to. I followed this up by contacting Absa Platinum line and I was told that there is a FICA hold on my account as my documents were'nt sent through. I immediatly sent through outstanding documents and contacted the platinum line again who confirmed the hold was removed. However, to date, I am still unable to transact and I get an error code 52 at the ATM saying the card has not been activated.</p> <p>I have been to the bank on three occassions already and have sent the documents through more than 5 times to ********** to no response after they promised to resolve the issue within 48hours. </p> <p>This is unbelievable, and nobody bothers to contact me and update me. I have now missed the first payment date for initial school fees, which means I will earn interest. I also see the account has incurred bank charges but how is this possible when I cant even use the card.</p> <p>This is ridiculous. i just want to cancel then card/account or at least have this issue resolved.</p> <p>I should've stuck to a FNB! This is the worst bank ever wow.</p>
