How can we help you??

When i went on maternity leave 5 years ago, my then car was financed with Absa. I was able to \freeze\" my car installment for the 4 months duration of my leave as we all know South Africa and companies do not give fully paid leave. They just extended my car repayment term with an extra 4 months which helped them in interest and really assisted me with surviving with the pennies I got whilst on maternity leave. I am now with Wesbank, called them this morning as I am due end April and need to start tying up loose ends only to be told, sorry they cant help me. They can allow me to pay half for 3 months, but there will be penalty charges and my credit rating will reflect arrears?? That is not allowing me anything. Is it true that there is no way I could be assisted as Absa did in the past as I have no idea who to speak to and really really need this help. I cannot rely on UIF to pay on time??"
