My details are been **********ly altered by Standard without cause or incident

Just received my monthly current account statement and low and behold Standard Bank have taken it upon themselves to change my physical and postal address. This is blatant *****. Not only did SIL change details on my policy without my permission or consent, they also apparently refuse to correct it and also refuse to give reasons why after so many reasons without incident, they did so.

There is something horribly wrong at Standard Bank. The complaint clearly states that the change of address was done by Standard Bank, because I also mention that SIL had also changed policy details, yet I just received a call from someone who clearly didn't understand or bother to read the complaint properly & started asking the most ridiculous questions when I suddenly realised, she had taken it upon herself that it was a member of the public who had changed the address. It is unbelievable what a customer has to go through to correct Standard Banks mess.

The responses on HelloPeter & other platforms are standard, however the issue is that no one actually does anything, but some do create Reference Numbers & send a sms & a few seconds later send another sms that the issue has been resolved, when in fact nothing was done or attempted. In one response I was told to go to a branch. Not intelligent to tell a customer to go to a branch when there are so many choices of other banks. I Escalated the matters to FAISOmbudsman & received a response regarding an investigation & out of pure frustration used several email addresses in an attempt to contact the Group CEO & fortunately one was successful & action was taken & both matters resolved. It is disgunting that customers have to go to the extremes that I had to go to in order to fix messes that respective staff & departments staff created.

I believe I acknowledged that both matters had been resolved but only after I escalated which should not been required.
