Standard Bank making sure people can't buy food during covid 19 pandemic

In this difficult time I made an arrangement to freez my home loan for 3 months. Standard bank deducted the home loanin the middle of the month taking all the money i had left to buy food for the house. My account is now also in arrears so this mont I will also not be able to provide for my family. I have spoken to the bank on numerous occasions to reverse the deduction and every time I am being told it will be done in two days. It has now been seven days and still nothing. I have spent hours on the phone with them and it doesn't seem like they know what they are doing

Reviewer Update
I have phoned the bank again this morning and again I received no help. I am at this point thinking of canceling my prestige account as i cannot see why I must pay extra bank costs for absolutely no help from prestige banking as they just put you through to different departments which i can do myself. The bank is very quick to take your money but when it comes to refunds they suddenly have lots of problems
