Setting new record lows for service levels

<p>Almost a week ago I queried a deduction from my credit card account for a "top up debt protect". I haven't received any feedback yet. I followed up this morning via the FNB banking app's secure chat, but the consultants there have a special ability to not answer direct questions. I have to repeat myself a number of times before getting a straight answer. (FNB: the functionality to copy and paste a previous message is sorely missed!) To make matters worse, there was a huge delay for some reason, so it seemed to me that I wasn't getting any reply to my messages. Only later could I see that the consultant had in fact responded.</p>

This is my 11th hellopeter complaint about FNB since Dec 2016. Many of them have been regarding SPAM, but even ignoring those, it shows a dreadful pattern of dismal service from FNB.

I sent an email last week, and this week followed up a number of times with ********** (option one) but Natasha from credit card complaints, nor her manager, nor anyone else from FNB has called me regarding this complaint.

In the mean time, they cancelled the top-up debt protect policy (without my instruction) and at first refused to refund the deduction from my account. Eventually they have refunded the deduction, but still, my questions remain unanswered. No-one from card division wants to speak to me.
