Covid relive

I app**** for Covid relieve in May which was approved, however they continued to deduct money from my account every month. End of May money was deducted from my account and immediately got SMS saying they know about my payment holiday and the money will be reversed into my account which they did but they continued in Jun then reversed back and in July again they deducted but nothing was reversed and I kept quiet till one of their agent called me on August the 22nd to tell me that my payment holiday is coming to an end and they would like to know if I will be able to continue paying and I advised that YES I will be able to pay as I went back to work however they owe me one month installment as they did not stop debiting my account even though I had payment holiday. I asked her to consolidate the the money with the other two months but she said they will have to refund the one month money as per rules however nothing happened till I called to ask for that one month refund and sent email then they decided to refund me with 3 installment in stead of 1. Now I am being told that my account is behind and it has affected my credit score very bad even though I have never missed any payment. I fail to understand how can Direct Axis blame Wesbank while I am their customer and I did not go to Wesbank for loan. It has now been two months of going back and forth.

Hello William, 

Thanks for reaching out to us.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience, it’s not the kind of experience we aim to give our customers. The way debt relief works is unlike anything we’ve done in the past and most of the process is manually completed. We'll escalate the matter to our COVID-19 support team and arrange for a consultant to call you.  

Team DirectAxis 

Best regards,

WM

Even after 3 days I am still waiting for a consultant to call me and this is irritating because I receive call every morning from your collection department and they all promise to escalate to supervisors by the name Allister September which I also sent email but no response.

Good day guys
I have a load with Direct Axis and a Covid relieve load from FNB acc number ***which was approved in May, however Direct Axis continued to debit my account every month which was reversed back to me now I have two loans both from FNB and Direct axis which shows my account in arrears of about R4 000 all in all but according to FNB my balance is R3000 something while Direct Axis says I owe them about R4000. This has affected by credit score and I wanted to buy a car this week and A MISTAKE ON DIREXT AXIS's side so to get done with this I want to settle the three months difference but want to know who do I pay between Direc Axis and FNB?Kind regards
