Refuse to remove *****ulent credit enquiry and close complaints without any resolution, After being with them for 10 years I am stuck with a *****ulent credit enquiry making it impossible to build a healthy credit record , this bank has ruined my life

On 04 December 2023, I lodged a complaint with the Standard Bank complaint department after I had noticed a *****ulent credit enquiry by Standard Bank on my credit profile. Because I did not consent to any credit enquiry being conducted, and neither did I apply for any form of credit/finance, I lodged a compliant requesting a written response detailing why the credit enquiry was conducted, who gave consent for the credit enquiry and what measures are they going to take to ensure that no more *****ulent credit enquiries will be done, as this was the second time in 2 months that Standard Bank conducted *****ulent enquiries on my profile. The reference for the complaint was ***3. Yesterday on 13 December 2023, I made a follow up to my complaint after I have not heard anything and no one from that department had contacted me for the next steps, despite the complaint acknowledgment saying one of their ''specialist'' will be in contact within 24 hours. The reference of the follow up was ***6. Today on 14 December 2023, I received an email from the complaint department saying my ''complaint is resolved and the issue has been successfully addressed'', and of course this is not true. My complaint was not attended to and addressed, they just closed the complaint for no reason leaving me with a *****ulent credit enquiry that they cannot explain why it was conducted. I also received an email from Munickum Praveen saying since my complaint is about to expire (because it was not attended to) they will provisionally close this matter until further notice.

After being with Standard Bank for more than 10 years, they have conducted two *****ulent credit enquiries, with the first one I managed to file a dispute with the Experian and it was resolved in my favor and removed. The second on will remain on my credit record because the complaints I lodged are closed without any resolution. This is the thanks I get for being with this bank for long and trusting them with my personal information.

Again, this is the bull**** response I have been getting since 02 December 2023 when I first reported this matter. You closed my complaints without resolution, the *****ulent credit enquiry is still in my profile, there's absolutely no reason why the credit enquiry was conducted, there's nothing in your records that shows I app**** for credit or consented to credit enquiry, you are number one when it comes to writing bull**** generic replies to make it seem as if you are doing anything to the public, Thabisile Nxumalo has been completely useless in addressing my complaint, asking for irrelavent screenshots of my credit profile which I have sent for nothing, Munickum Praveen has been utterly useless, claiming to have called me multiple times when this is not true, and closing my formal complaint (reference ***3) saying my issue has been successfully addresssed when this is not true

I have wasted more than 10 years with your **** bank where my personal profile is being used for ***** and the best I get is useless generic messages and I am stuck with a credit enquiry I have no knowledge of

If you had the power to close this complaint that's exactly what you would have done and claimed my complaint was successfully resolved

I have asked for my transactional account and the tax free account to be closed immediately to prevent further breach of my personal information that you are using to commit *****, I have also asked for all my personal information to be deleted from your database

Not only are you *****ing me with *****ulent credit enquiries, closing my complaints without resolution and useless consultants, you are also refusing to follow my instructions when I take measures to protect my personal information and further ***** by standard bank, I want to terminate my relationship with your stupid bank immediately

I regret the day I joined Standard Bank

From 04 December to 09 January, "priority" and "timeously" are not the words you should be using

Without wasting my time any further, when exactly can I expect the *****ulent enquiry to be removed, even yourselves can't provide proof that I had anything to do with the *****ulent enquiries
