Standard Bank SBMAC Campaign is *****ing from customers.

Totally unacceptable!

Standard Bank Motor Vehicle Finance is running an SBMAC campaign. They required me to provide proof of insurance. Now here is where things go wrong:

1. I was never informed of this campaign either by email or phone call. 2. I happened to see an SMS 2 weeks before they planned to implement automatic insurance through Hollard. 3. I sent proof from my insurance, a PDF password-protected file, and my ID as the password. 4. They responded days afterward saying they could not access the file, so I sent an image of the policy. 5. I then also called in and an agent sent through the cancellation request.

Now I see my account debited and again Hollard/Standard Bank states I have not provided proof. I will lodge a complaint with the ombudsman as well as report a ***** case with my bank.

Please have someone call me immediately. I have tried for weeks to sort this out, but you keep changing the requirements. My vehicle has been insured since the date of purchase and Standard Bank can and should be able to get the confirmation from the insurance provided. The money deducted from my account WILL be paid back TODAY.
