Poor Customer Service from Home Loans Department

I received an email prompting me to get a quote for fixing my home loan interest rate. I requested a call back (due to high call volumes) and did not get one.

I then decided, a week or two later, to call again and hold. I was put through to a consultant who confirmed that my account qualifies. She gave me the reference number and told me I would be given the quote in a few days. That did not happen (even with 2 bonds helds by Standard Bank)

Then funny thing is I received an email telling me I now qualify for Private Banking... bla bla bla. No thank you - if it was possible I would downgrade because the question " How Can We Help You" just seems to be a marketing gimmick rather than a genuine offer to help.

Reviewer Update
Still no contact from the Standard Bank's Home Loan team. So much for prioritizing.

I'm definitely not moving to Private Clients and I'll shop around elsewhere for the products I currently use.
