Capitec with empty promises

I have an loan account with Capitec Bank, lost my job last year and am unable to pay the said instalments. I contacted the collections department and were unable to assist me. I've since went to the complaints department to negotiate a lower instalment. My offer was refused on the basis of failure to meet their minimum requirements. My argument is why must I be charged interest on arrears whereas I could arrange with my bank on a lower more affordable amount. When I wrote on this platform I got a reply on my personal email to say that they will get back to me, to this day, I haven't received anything. Instead, I get calls from consultants wanting the full instalments. What a service.

Good Day

I will not accept the above response as I did not receive the call from any of your officials from the last time you sent the same response. It's been more than 10 business days and I haven't received anything from you. I am expecting something better than this reply. This is still a promise that you are not keeping up to.

 Good day Ms MAKHOBA  Thank you for taking the time to raise your concerns via email and providing us an opportunity to address your complaint.  I would like to assure you that we take great care in ensuring that we are as transparent as possible when in dealing with all our clients. 
Unfortunately the bank's stance remains the same. Based on the feedback we received from the relevant department unfortunately, your application for assistance to have your instalment decreased has been declined due to minimum requirements not met.  Please see below the Ombudsman details as per our telephone discussion should you be unhappy with the feedback.  Telephone: ***
