Extremely poor service for Private Bank Status

Dear FNB Team, Several weeks ago, I contacted FNB to request a downgrade of my account from Private Wealth. I had come to the conclusion that the status is purely cosmetic, with no tangible benefits, particularly as I have never heard from a dedicated private banker. During that call, I clearly instructed the consultant to proceed with the downgrade. At no point was I informed that someone would be calling me again, or that there would be any additional steps required from my side. Despite this, I began receiving calls during working hours, which I cannot answer. I then received an email stating that FNB had tried calling me and that the case was now closed. Today, I called again to follow up, only to discover that my downgrade request had not been actioned. The explanation: FNB couldn't reach me during office hours. I find this unacceptable—my instruction was clear, and the lack of follow-through is frustrating. While this may reflect well on the consultant’s query closure metrics, it leaves me, as a long-standing client, extremely disappointed, unfortunately, not for the first time. I expect this downgrade to be processed without further delay. Kindly confirm once it has been actioned

In addition to my previous query, I called your Home Loans division this morning and waited on hold for 16 minutes to request the unceding of a life policy linked to a home loan I no longer have with FNB.
The agent I spoke to, whose name was Yvonne, I believe, asked me to hold and then placed me back in the queue without any explanation or follow-up. This experience has been incredibly frustrating, and unfortunately, it has added to an already poor day with FNB.
Please could someone assist me with unceding this policy as a matter of urgency?

I went shopping this weekend to find out my card has been cancelled but I have not received a new card to shop. Called today and it says downgrade in still in progress. What a nightmare!!!!

I finally received two cards on the 7th of August, only to discover that the new Fusion card I received has already been cancelled.
I am now once again on the phone with your call centre, waiting for over 15 minutes to have this resolved, only to be told that yet another new card needs to be issued.
This is extremely frustrating and unacceptable. I have already spent a considerable amount of time trying to resolve this issue, and yet it remains unresolved.
Please can someone urgently look into this and provide a proper explanation as well as a solution, without requiring me to go through this entire process yet again?
