Standard Bank in Disarray

I've been trying to get an extention on my home loan but my application has been hanging for almost 20 days now because according to some divisions of Standard Bank I am still under debt review. I haven't been under debt review for two years and other divisions of Standard Bank know this because I managed to open an access bond and I am paying the full installment on my home loan. I have been told everything from the application is at arbitration to it's an IT error. The consultant I'm working with never responds to my emails and doesn't call me back. I was considering moving all my accounts to Standard Bank but if this is the kind of service you get, there is no way.

I hope so. It should take a bad review on Hello Peter for things to happen.

Still no response from Standard Bank. I got an email that my complaint has been received but nothing further. No one is phoning me back or responding to emails. When I phoned the call centre I was still just told that my application has been denied and there are no further notes on the file. I sent in my application on 3 July so it has been almost a month. This service is appaling!
