Pathetic service from Standard bank home loan department

I called on Monday the 27 November 2023 to update my ho,eloan interest rate and I was informed that a request will be sent and I will be called back in two days, I missed the call on the 29 November at 9:30 in the morning and the voice message said I should call back wehich I did at 12:30 and I was informed that someone will call me at 1:30 and I did not recieve a call. I called again on the same day and 3:30 and I was on hold for like 20 minutes with the consultant looking for vthe escalation email that was sent earlie and then he said they will call me again but my fixed rate expires today but he could not get me through to someone who can assist me and said the consultant I spoke with earlie has been trying to get hold of the person to assist me since 1:30. That does not make sense and is not good enough, the voice message says I must call back but when I do no is able to assist me, I am not happy with this service. What happens now that my fixed rate is expiring today? I asked to spak to manager and the consultant put me on hold for 30 minutes, this is bad service, I need someone to get back to me today.

I spoke to a Team leader yesterday at 4 pm and he assured me that someone by the name of Clifford Lithuli will call me in an hour's time and I waited till 6 oclock in the evenining and no one called, I culd not even drive home because incase I miss the call while on the road since I have to guard this call with my whole life, I am so dissapointed in the service. This is frustrating and no one is helpful, all they do when I call back is log escslation and how do you telk me that I cant be transffered to someone who can assist me, I should wait for their call. There's loadshedding and I could be experincing network problems because my phone does not ring, I just see a missed call. you can do better.

Spoke to another Team Leader this morning at 8:15 and he also could not assist me as he has to send an escalation and he said someone will call me back at 9:30 on my landline and I am still waiting, cant even work or attend meetings because I am watching my phone like a my life depends on it, its 9:50 now and when they calL and I miss the call then its my fault, you forget that I also have a job and I have to work, I cant just watch my phone the whole day. As a client who has never missed a home loan paymen t, I feel unfairly treated, Standard bank does not care about the clients, all you do on here is to just send a robotic response whoch helps with nothing. I can't be waiting for a call the whole day, your consultants and team leaders are the same, all they know is to make false promise so they can get you off the phone. My week has been spoilt, I have never dealt with such incompetence in my life. HORRIBLE SERVICE and please dont write a generic response after this, its useless.

I was called back by Lerusha and she assisted me, she was helpful and calm. Thank you.

Standard bank home loans department should work on their processes, there is no way you can have a department that does ot take calls or emails, that is my issue.
