Repeated account payments rejected and I'm being punished

The online app for paying accounts is a disaster and it is still running. Because of it I am now looking bad because of failed payments, have money lost and trying to track it for return, endless bank phone calls, unhelpful emails and a lot of stress and fear. I tried to pay my account at the end of March and the app kept accepting and rejecting. I spoke to my bank and they said that the payment went through and not to worry. I told them that I was concerned about my credit. Then on the 10th, I got an SMS saying that the payment had defaulted and that I was now in trouble. I told Standard Bank that this would happen but they are *****s. And it was, of course, blamed on me. That day I immediately paid the R1400 and I used the app. This app has to be shut down. the money came from my account but because there is a clear problem with using the online system, my money has not been received. It is now sitting somewhere in digital space and I have to fight now to get it back. This online payment is a **** as it can't seem to process payments without *****ing something up. On top of that, I tried to pay R1200 on the 18th of April and on the 19th I got an email saying that Mr Price Money was paying me R1200. I then contacted someone in the company and they said that the amount had been put into my account. So now I am concerned that the money has been returned to me and that they haven't registered it and now I still owe the whole amount. Between the app and an EFT, I have had to deal with R8000 worth of payments disappearing, reappearing and being returned. In the meantime, I keep getting into more and more trouble because of a broken system. I will be fully blamed for this because that is how big corporations work. I have tried and tried to give them the money that I owe but I will be punished because they are unable to handle it.

Thank you for raising this query with us which we escalated to ABSA Bank for further assistance. ABSA could not assist us any further, unfortunately. May I suggest that you ask your bank to liaise directly with ABSA as we cannot contravene the POPI Act. Please accept our sincere apology for the inconvenience.

Regards.

Mr. Price

I have had the most amazing service from Nicolette. She has done her very best to help me. I still have problems with Standard Bank but she really tried to help me as best should could and that is just amazing. I am hoping this will be enough with Standard Bank, but if not I am just going to have to accept that Standard Bank don't care and my money will just sit on the internet forever.
