Complaint - Client not treated fairly

Good Morning,

This morning I spent close to an hour trying to make a settlement arrangement for my Standard Bank Credit Card.

Standard Bank Card Legal directed me to their external debt collection company MBD.

i requested for a settlement amount and then requested for a settlement request letter. The agent could not understand what i was requesting as he thought i was asking for a Paid Up letter. There is a huge difference between the two.

I requested to speak to a Supervisor. The supervisor understood my request clearly and informed me that i can only receive a letter 7 days before the actual settlement? I requested if i can settle in October as i will be receiving a bonus in October and i want to do the right thing and settle my debt. I have worked in debt collection environment for 10 years. I fully understand the rights and requests and that creditors will be happy if clients call in to settle.

How does dropping the phone on a client solve the problem???

Can someone please assist me in this - I want to settle the FULL balance on my credit account on the 25th October via a debit order deduction.

My credit card account number is ' ********** ********** 98 (Miss SSS Scott)

Kind Regards Sadia Scott

Good Morning, i am very disappointed that Standard Bank is now refusing to assist me as the consultant has now informed me that you cannot assist in this matter as the debt is sold to MBD? The email i just received from Sithole, Nkululeko N states the following: Good day Sadia Thank you for your email. Unfortunately, the bank will not be able to advise on this matter as your account was sold to MBD and can be contacted on (011) ********** MBD refuse to make a settlement arrangement for this account for next month. WHAT MUST I DO NOW?
