Complete Administrative Failure - Standard Bank Home Loans

I've had a homeloan with Standard Bank since February 2021, refer below for my experience to date:

1. I have never once received a statement despite numerous verbal and written requests. 2. They have billed insurance to my bond despite me providing proof of insurance and refused a refund. 3. The latest and most egrarious issue I am experiencing is that they've stopped running the debit order for my down payment. Implying that everything single month I have to spend hours on the phone trying to organize payment and that every single month the payment is late. Assuredly I am being flagged each month and this is wrecking my credit score.

I request that a representative from Standard Bank contact me to adress their complete administrative failure. I am exhausted by the time, effort and money that it costs me to force Standard Bank to fulfill even their most basic of duties.

Reviewer Update
Thank you for this generic response from your social media management. Without any communication from Standard Bank, the money was mysteriously debited from my acount this morning. I am guaranteed to again spend hours on the line with their objectively terrible call centre next month to beg them to take my money. Absolutely disgraceful.

1. No guarantee that statements will be forwarded from here on out.
2. No resolve on the insurance issue.
3. No guarantee that the debit order has been reinstated.

None of the issues have been resolved.

No communication.
No service.
No commitments.
Not even a courtesy call.
