FICA nightmare

I was asked to FICA in October of last year, which I did. In November I was told again I need to FICA, which I did for a second time. They then captured all the details wrong so I had to dispute. I was told to complete a dispute form with a new FICA document, which I did. I do not hear back so I checked online banking portal for FICA status, documents all clear, none outstanding. Great.

Last Saturday I get an SMS to say business account and linked accounts all frozen. I call to ask why. Documents not received. No point complaining about people not doing their job so again, I send the documents. Now, again, I cannot get hold of any relevant personnel to confirm receipt of these documents and release account. Securechat pushes me to call this number: ***. I call that number, they transfer me to 3 different depts then push me to call ***, who then tell me to call the first number again. NO response on follow up emails, WITH reference numbers... I am just at wits end now. I am a Gold Business banking client and I cannot do business because of their incompetence. Its unacceptable and quite frankly as soon as funds are released, I am moving to Nedbank

Reviewer Update
Even though i was contacted within 2days of posting this, the bare minimum was done in an effort to resolve this issue. I am still receiving warnings that my account will be frozen and requests for FICA documents that were provided time and time again. I cannot fathom why nobody has an overview of this process and how important documents get lost in this system, multiple times over
