Keeping MY money - Please pay it Back

On the 21st of December I made a mistake of paying off my loan. As an honest mistake I paid the total amount owing instead of the settlement amount. Which meant I over paid the Loan by R22K. I immediately call and spoke to someone about the mistake and that I needed the payment to be reversed or to have the extra monies returned to my account. I was advised that I needed to wait 24hours until everything had cleared. Being on holiday I thought it should all clear up by the time I get back from my holiday. On the 6th January I received my statement from DirectAxis which clearly shows an overpayment of around R22k I called to ask what the delay was in getting my money back. I was told to show proof of payment (strange as your Invoice clearly shows a payment and over payment). So I sent back their statement with a screen shot of my payment, 9 January. A week later I hear nothing so I email, apparently Not good enough they need Proof. So I send proof on the 16th January. Oh, and then guess what just happened, my account was debited this month for a payment, 20 January. So now they owe me around R24k... (Or are they going to make me pay fees and more fees to squeeze all the money they can out of me.

Every time I have spoken to someone in the call center, my frustration gets the better of me as No one can assist, its like talking to a robot. They will not put you through to a manager or supervisor.

DirectAxis can give you a loan within 12hours. But it just seems that if you over pay it take forever to get you money back.

Maybe if I apply for another loan for R24k I can get my money back in 12 hours.

What do you think? I think I will never ever take a loan from them ever again.

Thank you for the quick response. I do hope going forward more people like me will not have to resort to coming to hello peter to get their issues sorted out. There has to be another internal platform that you can put in place to have these kind of issues resolved timeously.
