Bad Service from Capitec Bank

I am very much disappointed with the service from Capitec Bank when dealing with my problem. I have a personal loan with Capitec Bank which has been active for more than 12 months and I have never defaulted. In February I requested Capitec to change the debit order details and that's when I started having problems because of their poor administration. Last month when I was expecting the debit order to go through, I failed to understand why because I had more than enough cash on my account. I went to the bank and they promised that the problem has been resolved and I had to pay from my credit card because the account was already in arrears. T my surprise the same problem now and they even sent me a message that my account is in arrears and credit insurance was not paid. My concern is these administrative issues will have a negative impact on my credit profile and I have never defaulted in my life for more than 15 years. And the other risk is I don't have credit cover because of non-payment which pose a risk to me and my family. What a terrible experience after being with Capitec for so long. Can Capitec deal with this matter ?

Good day,

Kindly note that I am still struggling with my debit order and the Complaint Management Agent assigned to this problem is useless. I sent an email last week Friday and even now there is no response. Saturday when I went to one of your branch, I was told there is a general IT Issues which has been going on since October last year. How is that possible that a financial institution handles public funds without competency to deal with such an issue.

As it stands, my account is in arrears cause I don't have funds on my Capitec Savings account to clear the arrear and will only pay when money reflects.

Capitec is always requesting that I move my salary to them, I will never consider that and I can now see the reason why people don't consider this institution because their processes are not matured. How can a bank fail to activate the debit ?????
