Standard Bank not there for their clients

App**** for Payment Holiday on my home loan as I have a huge unforeseen expense in repairing/replacing pipes due to water damage. My application was declined as payment holidays are only granted for financial hardship???? I already had to spend R 30 000+ on having this repaired and start replacing

Clearly this bank is not there to assist their customers

I was told by the agent that this is usually only considered for medical bills or loss of employment etc. It would GREAT if they then stipulate this on their website

There website does however state:

" A payment holiday won’t get rid of or reduce your debt, but it does give you some time to get back on your feet after a temporary financial setback. "

So clearly I do not understand what a financial set back is!
