ABSA IDIRECT is a ****mer of note and a corporate bully and

I am really disappointed and beyond sickened by the conduct of ABSA IDIRECT. Since joining them in March 2024, they did not bother sending me policy documents and giving me the opportunity to fami****ise myself with the contents. I do not even know my policy number with them yet every month they have been debiting my account. I have failed to beg them to send me my policy documents, when that failed I have been begging them to cancel my policy with immediate effect and instead of cancelling as requested- they inform me that they are investing and gave me different ref numbers one of them being C-***4 . What is there to investigate if a client is cancelling policy with immediate effect? They have not even advised what they are investigating yet they expect me to carry on paying them? I have had to stop the debit order witch my bank as a way to take matters into my hands since ABSA has been failing me to cancel this policy. Now they are sending sms that they will debit twice next month? Are they saying they will forcefully keep me as a client and forcefully keep charging me? I did not ask for any investigations, I simply asked ABSA to cancel my policy at per my communications dating to around 8/11/2024. I was with Auto & General and I so regret ever taking a chance with ABSA. This is a household and cellphone policy and I have a right to cease business if I see a service provider is risky and *************. Please guys learn from me, do not ever ever join ABSA IDIRECT Insurance ever! Their call centre is a nightmare. Their cancellation call centre deliberately evades call under the pretence of “being too busy” it’s all a strategy or **** to hold on to irrate clients.

Hello Peter, your platform really helps because after more than 2 weeks of screaming for help to ABSA and being ignored- immediately when I posted my review here that is when I received a call, that is only when my policy was cancelled. Unfortunately this morning, without any discussion or any explanation, my bank account was debited by ABSA. Can you imagine that the insurance cover was payable upfront but when cancelling I basically got charged for another upfront. Nonetheless, I am glad I have parted ways with the devil and I truly warn those who have never dealt with ABSA as an insurance to never dare go there. They have been warned😡😡😡😡😡

I must trust and believe that the same *********** Godfrey Ndou who has been sitting on this case for the last 2 weeks with no action except sending same repeated standard robot messages of “we are dealing with the case and will give feedback on this day” and every time that day comes then another robot email from him asking for extension?!!! Disgusting 🤮
As a victim of yours, I will now be a survivor that warns anyone not to go near ABSA IDIRECT insurance, he’ll Absa Bank as a whole. You should be ashamed that the reviews about you are so so many and same experiences from your poor service! A whole Big Giant Bank with an overall rating of 2 from customers??? 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Dear AbSA,
Will I ever catch a break from you? On top of debiting my account on the 18th when I had cancelled my policy with you on the 8th…. You then debited again on the 25th😡 I have had to reverse that amount because I do not trust anything from you. I have cancelled the policy on 8th November, there is no upfront payment I owe you as there is no service you will be rendering for me! , please stop messing with my account and my finances!!! Geeez!!!
