Poor Service!!

I have never had issues with FNB until now. I also recommend and referred FNB to many of my family and friends.

I'm disappointed in the service from some of the consultants at the FNB Premier team of bankers. Firstly I called FNB when I was not receiving statements by the beginning of May (I usually receive statements by 02nd, 03rd, or 04th of every month. He investigated why I did not receive it this time and only received it by 29th May 2019. This is when he mentioned that there was a technical system error on their side. Secondly on my statement the interest has almost doubled from all the previous months that I have used my account. I also have a trend in how I use my account every month, and my INTEREST is usually around R 700 - R 800 per month. This time it was around R 1400. He mentioned that because the dates changed, FNB did not debit my account for one month and added both amounts in one. I rep**** by accepting this and he also changed the debit order date back toward the end of the month. Everything was okay. I then view my statement stating that I will be debited yet again R 1490 INTEREST. I called FNB again and a different consultant. She told me that I have made more transfers and cash transactions (which clearly on my statements has the same for every month. She was clearly making things up. Then she says because i changed my debit order date, I will be charged twice in June. Who in their right mind thinks that I can pay two debit orders to FNB!!! I asked to speak to her manager and she says that he/she will tell me the same thing. What poor service is this. My only option is to take my money out just to have money to live because I cannot afford to pay two debit orders. This will also result in bad credit rating for me, but what choices do i have since FNB cannot help their client.

I will try to change my banks as I cannot be with a bank that treats me like this.

Reviewer Update
The lovely customer service consultants called to resolve this issue, unfortunately what was said to happen did not. Fnb the again attempred to debit my account on 24th June. It tgem attempted on 25th which eventually debited. This is exactly what I hoped would not happen. I won't be surprised if I'm debited again on 29th. I'm tired of talking to the agents that cannot help. The only choice I have now is to move my money because I cannot afford two debit orders from fnb. I have to move and need that money for rent and deposit.
