Request for UIF reversal

Hi. I Just need to know since when standard bank is taking UIF payments to pay the debts to my surprise my UIF was debited. I really need that to be reversed back to my account cause I believe if I came requesting application using my grand income it was going to be declined no 1 was going to approve that application so why is it so quick to debit a UIF money.

In South Africa, UIF (Unemployment Insurance Fund) benefits are generally protected from creditors, but there are some exceptions.

According to the Unemployment Insurance Act, UIF benefits are "exempt from attachment by any court" and "not liable to be seized or attached by any creditor" (Section 56).

However, there are a few instances where UIF benefits might be accessible to creditors not like this

Can this be rectified ASAP

I'm still not happy at all with your response
The query was closed and still my account is on credited with the UIF payment debited by you. I still don't know why it's not reversed as requested

Kindly assist by giving me the full details as to why is it not reversed so I can escalate this matter to ombudsman for further assistance.
