Unfocused service response after solar kit finance enquiry through FNB

This bad service story has two parts. I initially enquired through the FNB app private messenger who within FNB would deal with questions around a solar install loan. I was given a number for FNB Loans and that department immediately put me through to FNB Homeloans. I waited in the queue for about 15 minutes and when an agent did answer and I told him my query, he immediately put BACK INTO THE SAME QUEUE again! The second agent then gave me the email address *** to contact. The whole saga took about 30 minutes. Why wasn't I given this address in the first place? On the 6th of March, I emailed pleasehelpme and got a reply from *** on the 7th of March asking for my home loan account number or whether I had a bond-free property. I rep**** within 3 hours and had no response by the 9th of March at 16:00. I then asked for a follow-up. Within 20 minutes I got a reply asking if I wanted a first bond or a personal loan. I rep**** within 15 minutes explaining that I wanted to know the terms and conditions of BOTH. After no further response, I again followed up on the 10th of March at 15:00. This morning at 07:45 I got an email from a Molatelo Maake asking for all the details related to buying a completely new property (title deed, etc). THIS IS AFTER I MADE IT COMPLETELY CLEAR WHAT I WANTED TO KNOW PREVIOUSLY AND THAT I HAVE A FULLY PAID-UP BOND AND THAT FNB STILL HAS THE TITLE DEEDS. I WANT TO KNOW THE DETAILS AROUND A PERSONAL VERSUS BOND LOAN FOR SOLAR. I'M NOT BUYING A NEW HOUSE! HOW UNFOCUSSED CAN YOU GET? Honestly, this is worse than dealing with some government departments. Please can I have my questions answered?

Reviewer Update
I now have an intelligent sales agent dealing with my case and it is progressing. My bad experience with the Homeloans call centre and being pushed around to different departments still applies. Perhaps the agents working on the FNB app messenger should be better prepped. This can now be closed as far as I'm concerned.
