Not "Customer" worthy anymore ?

It's sad I have to write a review here, and bring my personal situation to public, but seems this may be the only way to get help from Standard Bank I hope. Bringing this to public I feel is shameful, but no one at Standard Bank seems to care anyways.

Due to my current financial situation I am forced to give up my vehicle. After numerous attempts, someone suggested I approach Ford to buy the the vehicle, and arrange to pay the outstanding amount. After visiting Ford, they are willing to buy the vehicle (Surely more than a bank repo auction will get me)...

Now, this is where it gets me crazy, Everybody I mail is on leave, if I contact someone, I get a reply to contact someone else. When I contact them, same issue. If I speak to someone on the phone, they say will make note of it. And that's where it stays, I just keep getting call after call, with no help. NOBODY are willing to assist me. I made first contact with standard bank on 2 July 2019. yes this is how long I am struggling to get assistance from Standard Bank to let Ford to buy the vehicle, and that I can make arrangements to pay outstanding balance.

It seems as if Standard Bank wants to do a repo instead of assisting its clients. Why they seem to lean towards forced repo, I have my own thoughts. Unless maybe because my financial situation changed, I am not worth the "customer status" anymore, and lost my right to be treated fairly and with dignity.

I hope this review brings some sort of help from Standard Bank. I will keep you all up to date of any progress, that might happen from here on out.

Standard Bank, I feel i am out of options, hence this review.

Reviewer Update
Up to date, since 18 June 2019 no contact whatsoever from Standard them selves ever since my first attempt to contact them for help. Then they still take debit orders, leaving a family without finances for the month. My family is still awaiting groceries and chronic medication delivery from you, since you took responsibility of my family by leaving me without finances to support them!!!! Even though the CUSTOMER attempted to make first contact. Standard Bank doesn't care about anyone else than themselves, and milking you in any way possible way financially. I will not recommend Standard Bank to ANYONE, and I will share my experience with EVERYONE, why not to make use of this "so called bank"

Standard Bank = Financial DIFFICULTIES, NOT CUSTOMER WORTHY NOR RESPECT
