SANLAM - Worst FSP to deal with

They have no compassion or empathy. Most pathetic FSP. I asked to reduce my installment and extend my repayment period to help my financial circumstance before I get into debt, but they refuse to budge. I got everything in writing. If other providers were willing to help me, who the hell does Sanlam think they are, yet they still call me offering me more loans which I declined. They can't give me my complete paperwork (financial assessment) as well. I emailed more than 2 x asking to be assisted with a reduction on my monthly payments, but they refuse. I am taking the matter to the ombudsman for Reckless Lending, and for review.

Reviewer Update
That's what Sanlam told me, that they will refer me to the relevant department. They came back with a response today that they not prepared to help me.
I don't see how you will have any further luck in assisting.
My last resort is the ombudsman to have my loan written off completely for Reckless Lending. I have asked for a reduction going forward but it's pointless when I'm told that that request can't even be considered. I have everything on email.
