Extremely disappointing service from Standard Bank

I have a Standard Bank cheque account and personal loan. My salary is paid into my Standard Bank account on the 20th, and I have an agreed payment arrangement for my personal loan to be paid on the 20th every month. I have never defaulted on this arrangement.

Yet, every month, Standard Bank sends my account to debt collectors because their system apparently reflects the payment as due on the 3rd. I am then bombarded with calls and emails, and debt collectors have even contacted family members.

I repeatedly have to spend my own airtime contacting Standard Bank and the collectors and providing proof of payment—only for the same issue to happen again the following month.

This is unacceptable. Standard Bank is fully aware of my salary date and payment arrangement. I expect this recurring issue to be permanently resolved rather than forcing me to prove every month that I have not defaulted.

Reviewer Update
Matter still unresolved. I have provided proof of payment to both Standard Bank and the appointed debt collectors, DalyDebt. A debit order is also in place for the agreed payment arrangement. Despite this, the matter has still not been rectified.
