Horrible service from FNB

My husbands' company was liquidated in 2018 - subsequently we incurred a lot of debt. We started looking into Debt Review. I sent through documentation to the Debt Review company for a quote - the documentation was incomplete. I have communication from the Sales person at this company to confirm that the debt Councillor will contact me to explain the process. I specifically told the sales person that we will continue as is for this month - thus I will pay all my normal premiums/installments. In the meantime - the documentation was sent through to all creditors (Friday, 25 October). On Monday, 28 October --- all available funds in my FNB Cheque & FNB Credit Card was taken and my accounts frozen. I frantically contacted the Debt Councillor which then apologized and confirmed she will submit the withdrawal documentation. It has been 3 business days, month end is tomorrow and all my debit orders will go off --- and the only response from FNB is that we will have to wait a further 3-5 days? I want to know - who will reimburse me for the rejected debit order fees? This was not my fault - I am supposed to have a private banker and exceptional service - but nobody at FNB has even contacted me. They took over R30,000 of the money that I am supposed to pay school fees, rates and taxes, electricity .... YET NOBODY CARES!!!! I need to pay the garden service and the lady that assists me in my house - I can't .... thus she might be evicted as well. Yet, FNB doesnt care. As explained to both debt councillor and the sales person - we only have my income!!!!

Good day FNB. I appreciate your quick attention to this matter. I can see that the funds on my Credit Card is available. But there is still no funds available on my Cheque Account. My debit orders will start to deduct tomorrow, and then subsequently reject..... Incurring a cost for me. I also can't transfer the available funds from my Credit Card to my Cheque Account, as my available funds in my Cheque Account at this stage reflects - R1, 199. Thus I will loose again if I should transfer any funds.

Good afternoon,
Please note that I have not yet had any response on my reply sent last night. I just checked my account - and the funds are still not reflecting in my Cheque Account. PLEASE can I just have any response - as there is currently NO funds and the debit orders and payments must be made.

I have now sent 2 emails on FNBs reply. I phoned and rep**** on the Hello Peter review twice...... No Response!! And all my debit orders went off, without FNB rectifying the original mistake. So, not only must I now contact all these creditors but I have incurred over R1500 in costs of unpaid debit orders.

And still - no response from FNB. All my debit orders did not clear and I incurred the cost. This after this issue was raised with them 3 days before month end.
