NO RESPONSE AFTER 10 BUSINESS DAYS

I purchased an Options Motorway Service Plan telephonically after financing a vehicle through WesBank.

Only after reviewing the documentation in detail did I discover that the service plan itself runs for approximately 36 months, while the premium was financed over the full 73-month vehicle finance term.

I do not believe the financial implications of this arrangement, including the interest payable over the finance term and the consequences of cancellation, were adequately disclosed during the sales process.

When I requested cancellation, I was advised that my finance account could allegedly fall into arrears by approximately R9,300, yet no proper reconciliation or explanation has been provided to support this figure.

I submitted a detailed formal complaint to WesBank, Motorite and The Engine Room Direct Solutions more than 10 business days ago requesting:

* a full cancellation reconciliation; * details of the premium financing structure; * disclosure documents; * and a copy of the telephonic sales recording.

To date I have only received automated acknowledgements from WesBank indicating that a response would be provided within 2–5 business days. No substantive response has been received.

I am not seeking special treatment. I simply want a transparent explanation of the financial calculations, confirmation of what was disclosed during the sales process, and a fair resolution of the matter.

I would appreciate contact from a senior complaints representative to resolve this issue.

Reviewer Update
Update – Complaint Still UnresolvedI appreciate that following my original HelloPeter post, WesBank allocated complaint reference CRSED1C7, and both WesBank and Motorite engaged with me regarding my concerns.Since then, I have provided all the additional information and documentation requested by WesBank, and Motorite has completed and communicated the outcome of its investigation.Unfortunately, despite numerous emails and follow-up communications over the past several weeks, the matter remains unresolved. The last communication I received from WesBank was on 12 June. I submitted a further follow-up on 1 July and also attempted to contact the assigned complaints representative telephonically, but have not received any further update.My concern is no longer simply the cancellation itself. I am still waiting for WesBank's final reconciliation and explanation of the financial consequences of cancelling the service plan. Until this is provided, I remain unable to exercise my contractual right to cancel the service plan and make an informed decision.I remain willing to resolve this matter amicably and hope WesBank will provide the outstanding reconciliation and final outcome as soon as possible.
