incorrect information

Hi, I contacted African Bank at the beginning of this month to let them know I had missed my debit orders due to some financial difficulties and asked to make an arrangement to make an extra payment just before the end of the month once i have set my budget. the consultant advised i make an additional R1000 for each of my loan accounts which i advised i am not certain about but he said i can change that before the debit order date. i have just contacted African Bank to cancel the arrangement as i can only pay the monthly installments but was advised that cannot be done, as once an arrangement is made it cannot be cancelled. this contradicts what i was told before. i Got ****** over a week ago and my bank account is already on a negative due to last months failed debit orders and the failed transactions the ******* caused when they kept trying to withdraw from my card. i cannot afford for any additional amounts to be deducted because the debit orders will fail and leave my bank account with a minus which will mean i cannot make an arrangement even month to make an additional contribution. debit orders are sent days prior to the debit order date so there really is not way its too late for me to cancel the arrangement.

a lady by the name of Matshatshi called me and transferred me to Lindo, Lindo could not access my account as Matshatshi was still on my profile, he gave me a contact number. Lindo had advised that he cannot cancel the arrangement amounts but can reduce them to R100. he asked me to call again so they can do this, i just called the number he gave me and the lady i just spoke to advised that she cannot amend the amount unless i am adding to it. going around in circles here. may i get someone who will resolve this please your calls are recorded you should be able to access my calls recordings with your consultants if need be

i called your number back immediately after i missed the call and was transferred to Zandi who also says she cannot amend the arrangement. she said she will get the consultant who made the arrangement to call me back, i am waiting and if this is not resolved by the end of the day, i would like someone to let me know what the next step i should take to resolve this myself as it is either the consultants do not receive the same training or some are just not willing to help.

i was in training, i have just called now and spoke to Gift Mokoetsi and have been advised that she cannot amend the amount as i was supposed to do that 2 weeks prior to the debit order date. the agent who made the original arrangement and said i shouldnt worry because i can change at anytime did not state this. i need this to be fixed because should the additional amount be debited and leave with a minus plus failed debit order fees you guys will have to refund my bank account yet. is transparacy and providing clear communication to your clients not a thing? i work for a financial institution and i can gaurantee no company requires changes 2 weeks before a debit order date to change an amount or date. your people dont even seem to know a lot to be honest and the way this one contradicts the other......wow
