Very poor service from Alex Forbes
I cannot finalise my tax return because Alex Forbes submitted the incorrect tax directive number to SARS (I have not been with Alex Forbes since 2017, so I'm not sure what this is about). And its been more than two weeks now of submitting forms, calls to your call centre, follow ups with automated responses, etc. This is really frustrating and the error is on Alex Forbes' side so why do I need to do all the work and try to glean information or feedback from you? I can understand why so many of your clients on here are so frustrated. This is definitely poor service.

18 Oct 2023, 08:55Spoke to Busisiwe this morning for your unclaimed benefits department about the apparent unclaimed benefit that I have. The tax consultant advised that I need to speak to your call centre about it. Again, I don’t receive any information from her and your contact centre is pretty substandard because they cannot actually help me beyond providing basic information and statements. Every time I phone whichever consultant has to escalate or email someone and then it takes another week for feedback - if that actually comes through. I don’t understand why this has to be such a struggle when it is Alex Forbes that made the error but I have to fight through various layers of incompetence and slow service to get to a resolution. This is unacceptable and your service is shocking. Please address this issue with the utmost urgency. Thanks
