BOND

I am rather disappointed with the service delivery received from such a well renowned Bank. I am a new home owner and I am struggling to keep up with my monthly installments due to the rapid increase in the repo rate. Last year August I contacted the legal department via email asking for assistance of which they suggested a respread, all documentation was sent through and a confirmation of receipt was sent. As per the email it stated we will receive feedback within 14: 20 business days. Almost 3 months has passed and the feedback that we got was that the account is no longer at the legal department it’s gone back to Standard Bank. Bear in mind we have already been patient and respected the turn around time but not with such feedback. Due to not receiving any assistance from the bank over email I went into the chatsworth branch contacted the department after being on hold for almost two hours the call gets disconnected. Until date I have not received any assistance with my bond.

You are saddened that I received such service however I did not get the help that I needed, firstly my bond was in arrears std bank suggested a respread of which I waited 3 months for with still no response, once they got back to us they demanded an amount of 5780 for the next 6 months to come up to date, now bare in mind I am having difficulties paying my current bond due to the increase in the repo rate, my husband no longer works and to my surprise apparently this does not matter. I’m saddened that is how much you actually show care to customers that have financial difficulties.

In all honesty it is clear that Standard Bank does not take client service seriously. It has been 9 days and all I get is that we will do a follow up and someone is going to call me, is it going to take another 3 months for feedback? Do clients actually matter? Are our concerns been heard? Il say agin for a well renowned bank the service is pathetic. I’m done listening to apologies because it’s not getting my issue resolved.
