FNB COVID19 is ******** people

FNB is the worse bank ever. Instead of assisting its customers during this difficult time( Covid-19) , it has seen this as a chance to make more money for themselves. I had initially heard that the banks are offering a 3 month break for its customers who have been affected during the covid 19 period. When i went online to apply it was there written covid19 fund and not covid19 loan. I therefore app**** and was surprised to see the immediate approval without having sent the supporting documents which i was planning to send the following day. I immediately called fnb and was told that there is no catch i will get a break for 3 months nothing else... little did i know that i had missed the fine prints that it is a loan. I got to learn about that loan 3-5 days later in which i immediately cancelled. It took them 22 days to cancel this stupid loan and i had to make calls everyday and had to pay a settlement amount which had interest. I paid it because i wanted to get rid of this loan. After paying them this covid19 settlement amount + closing the account this fund wait and took back all the amount it had paid when my covid 19 account was opened. So fnb has taken the money i had to pay to settle the account plus reversed all the transactions they made to pay for the 3 accounts. I need my money back from them and it will be a month now. I have been sending emails and calling everyday and all they are saying is that they are escalating the matter.. In the meantime i am in arrears in the accounts which they made the reversals

Really FNB is playing tsotsi here.. This Farah lady at covid 19 is not answering at all. I need my money back so that i can pay my debts.

Reviewer Update
I have already logged complaints and no one is assisting all I'm being told that the matter is being escalated... This matter has been escalated for the past month how long will I have to wait for my money to be paid back... I have decided that I will not take any product offered by fnb ever again I just need to find another bank after all this

The 2 complaint nos are *** and ***...i busy logging a complaint now with the ombudsman and will even go to TV about this because it's R10800 which fnb has taken from me and I want my money asap and no more escalations
