FNB mistreatment

My FNB accounts suddenly changed the order they apper in so On 2 November 2022 I sent an email to Nazreen Hoosain (she was very good) requesting a refund because I had accidentally deposited R1000 to my Loan account instead of R350. I received the money back after a day two. On Friday January 27, 2023 I called FNB after making an accidental transfer to that loan account of R8000. I was still not used to the new order they appear in my account. First I was told I will get the money after 5 working days. After 6 days I called and got Logan (who was very professional) who explained that I won't get the full refund because they will subtract the monthly payment so I would get around R7000. I agreed to this because it sounded reasonable. After 5 more days I called again and I was told the account is actually in the legal department since November. I found this strange because I was not notified and I am almost certain that my debit orders were going through. Anyway I called again on the 15th of February to ask for the reocrd of all my telephone calls to use as evidence with the ombudsmen. The first consultant pretended to tranfer me to the legal department where so I could speak to the team leader but call actually went back to the call centre. So I spoke to a another consultant who also did the same thing the minute I requested for telephone records of my conversations. So it's been 3 weeks now. I will give an update as the situation unfolds. My reference number is ***3.

@Hellopeter an edit button would be helpful. So the order which my accounts appear on my app changed so my my loan account appears as the default account whereas my cheque account used to be the first account to appear by default.

Update, so barely 2 mins after logging my complaint I haved received an automated sms that reads as follows
"FNB High Priority Complaint ref ***NF been sent to Customer Resolution Centre ***. A consultant will contact you within 24-48 business hours."
The response is impressive given that it is 3am. I will wait and see if they can live up to it.

Update got an email and an sms at 08h20 to say FNB is investigating the complaint. So its 5hrs after my original complaint (3am) and about 20 minutes after the start of working hours. Not bad. Now lets see if can resolve this.

Update got a missed call from Loreen at 12h42. She tried again and got me at 15h24. She asked for proof of payment because they can't see the transfer on their end. A bit weird because it was between FNB accounts. But she was very polite and professional. She also called me back at 16h04 after I had sent the proof to update me one what processes she follow after our call. She said I will mostly likely get the money in Monday since today is Friday. I don't Know I will see...

So Monday has come and gone. No word on my refund. I sent them an email and they didn't respond. Absolutely disappointing.

Thanks to Loreen the money was paid to me on Tuesday 21 February 2023 around 7am. The FNB complaint resolution department is a well oiled efficient system. I hope FNB could replicate this service delivery right at first contact so that the overall customer experience is satisfactory.
