Worst Customer Service Experience

This is the worst thing I have ever experienced, after struggling to pay my loan for a long time due to African Bank selling my account but still calling me to pay and trying to collect. Finally I got a great consultant who managed to assist me and we paid and settled the account on the 24th of April 2026. Then I received my settlement letter and was promised that it would be removed from my credit record between 14-21days. It is still not removed and now when I try do it on my end from Experian it says it’s invalid as the credit provider does not match. I called them on Wednesday and I was told that sure sure by Friday morning it would be removed. However, it is still not removed and when I call they’re telling me about another 21days. This is the worst feeling ever

Please check your email inbox of customer documents please because now we are going around in circles. I told the consultant that called me that you guys sold the Acc to ZIG Kwande as a 3rd party and like each and everyone I spoke to they have been saying no it wasn’t sold and it’s active on their side. So now this is truly frustrating, all consultants I have spoken to say different things as if you guys were not provided on the same training regarding issues. I hate taking out my frustration on innocent people but this is resulting to that. Please fix this call me as promised and tell me were to send the proof

You guys are telling me I must wait another 21 days for you to resolve my matter. That’s truly absurd to say the least, you guys need to accept and communicate that you messed up because this means you only going to file this issue with the credit Bureau now

I truly don’t understand what your above message is addressing. Are you saying it’s okay for me to wait for that 21days because clearly the 72 hours that I was promised by the agent that called me has long lapsed

Hi Morena, we recommend that you lodge a dispute directly with Experian and submit the paid-up letter provided as proof that the account has been closed. This will assist Experian in verifying the information against the profile currently reflected on the credit bureau. You can get in touch with Experian to check how long it normally takes on their side to respond to a dispute.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
