Offered and agreed upon a settlement discount only to be told a few days later that it was a mistake and asked to make another arrangement.

I was offered a 30% discount on the 18/10/2017 on an account where that I am paying off the interest in arrears. I accepted the discount and agreed to pay the confirmed amount by the 28/10/2017, I asked for this arrangement to be sent to me in writing via email, the consultant advised same would be sent to me by Friday 20/10/2017. Having not received the e-mail, I called them on the Monday 23/10/2017, only to be told that no such arrangement reflects on their system. I asked for the call to be reviewed and the email to be sent accordingly. I got a call at midday to be told that the consultant had made a mistake on the 18/10/2017 by offering me the discount and they can now only offer 15%. I am very disappointed with the service and lack of commitment to the arrangements that they made with me on the 18/10/2017. They are now retracting the offer, after the agreement was made and verbally finalised, it is just dishonest! I really do not want to have any verbal communication with them going forward as they just cannot be trusted.

Hi, I would like to extend my gratitude to the African Bank complaints department as well as the Hello Peter platform, my complaint has been resolved and the Bank has honoured their initial discount offered. I was impressed with the friendly African bank complaints dept. team and their willingness to assist and their quick response time. It is unfortunate that the only way to get the issue resolved was to publicly complain, but I am pleased with the end result and my trust in the institution is restored. Many thanks!
