FNB debits money without permission
I'm terribly disappointed by how FNB has tested me. On 15 December they made a pre-deduction on my account without my permission. My agreement is clear to them that my account be debited on the 1st of every month...this is on a contract I signed with them. Now the excuse I got is that I got paid my salary early and I made it clear to them that I use my money for many other personal things and make sure I have money available for their debit order. The arrogance and attitude I was given when I enquired about this is beyong appalling. The agent told me that if I have a problem I must go ask my employer to give them evidence that I was not paid before payday. And that was not the point, my problem is the fact that FNB takes it upon themselves to debit money from my account before the due date without my permission. I told them that the Ombudsman was in the media on 18 December confirming that this behaviour is not acceptable, they ignored me, showing clearly that they are above the Ombudsman, they do as they please with customers money. I am very very upset, after banking with FNB for more than 20 years this is the treatment I get. I feel VERY disrespected
Instead their agent called me to ask me the same questions I was asked by another when I lodged the complaint and only to justify why they took money from my account without my consent.
I still refuse to be treated with disrespect by FNB, banking with them gives them no right to pay themselves with my money as they please.
As I indicated in the review here on Hello Peter I will not rest until FNB commits and starts treating customers with respect and until they start respecting regulations and directives of the Ombudsman because clearly they are disregarding all of those. I have started the process of engaging with the Ombudsman so that this ill-treatment of customers is dealt with once and for all. FNB must stop taking MY money WITHOUT my consent
