No service and rude people

I have been contacted by Blake and associates regarding my Standard Bank Vehicle account. Upon request this morning at 08:56 to receive the settlement letter to settle my account I was told that I will only have it by 16h00 this afternoon. I told them that it was not acceptable and want it by noon. Twelve came and went no call, no email. I called them again and I was rudely told that they will get back to me. I called again now and a gentlemen informed me that the request was sent and there is no turn around time. I asked him why I cannot get the letter and he gave me the amount witch is the outstanding balance. I then asked him why it is so high and he told me I did not ask for discount. Prior to this I have send an sms and 2 emails to Standard Bank with out any reaction or call regarding my request. I will never do business with Standard Bank again as there survice is non existing. What is happening to our banks. Has know one any pride in there work anymore.

Just as I said, know service. They hand you over but when they have to act there is always excuses. Standard Bank is the worst bank in South Africa. Don't do business with them. All I want is a discounted settlement letter. How difficult is that. Just press a button. You don't need a degree for that.

Now the bak tells me to speak to Blake and Associates and they say they are waiting for the bank. Run South Africa run. When the bank do not want to help you with a simple request, then you know the country is in trouble. I feel very sad today. I want to get a discounted settlement letter and settle my car. What is wrong with this picture. Come on people.

Yet when I contact the attorney they tel me that Standard Bank does not have a turn around time on these letters, in other words they add on to the interest. So who loose it is the client like me. Why can Standard Bank not supply me with my requested letter seeing I signed a contract with them. I want to settle my account but they will not let me. Plus they want to add on interest daily, is that fair? 🤔🤔

And there it is. Still no discounted settlement letter. Standard Bank can close their doors if not even the managers will call you back. All I want to do is pay may car so my account can be closed and I can be done with Standard Bank. It seems they don't want my money. Quick to hand you over but slow to non existent to help you to pay them. Very sad day indeed. Worst bank ever. Not ABSA AVAF nor Wesbank is this slow or bad.
