No Response from Direct Axis during Covid-19 Lock down

I have been trying to call the customer care line for days on end however there has been no reply, or my call is dropped. I have emailed and also no response. This is really disappointing coming from a reputable Financial organization as Direct Axis. My request was for assistance with a 1 month payment holiday from my Personal Loans that I have taken up with you, I have been a reliable client of yours and have never defaulted in any payments. Up until the President announced an extension of another 14 days I was able to cover all my Loan payments as I was given AL from work, with the extension of another 14 days I will be placed on UNPAID leave. I am unable to get the documentation from work as there is no one there due to the lock down. I hope that Direct Axis values their clients and will take the time to look into my profile and assist me with just a 1 month break of premiums, this will be immensely appreciated.

Reviewer Update
I have sent a mail with all my details to *** and explained that my place of work is closed, so where am I going to get a letter from. Was my email that I sent actually read? Your mail to me is not personalized and Is clear that you have not bothered to look into my profile nor read my mail. I mentioned that the place of work is a Casino and is on lock down, I can therefore not get a letter. Your response to me is highly disappointing and Directaxis clearly has no intention of assisting me. The below email to me does not assist me nor explain to me what I should do if I am not able to get a letter for the lock down period.

Good Day
