Wesbank Covid relief or rather lack thereof. Zero Service, Zero reply to emails not even to mention the incompetence of the call centre

I am extremely annoyed and frustrated with Wesbank.

I have been up and down phoning and emailing since 16 April 2020. Received an email on the 21st of April with the addedum which I sent back and then received a mail stating that the payment relief had been approved for 3 months namely April, May & June.

All of this only to realise that it had never been done, I am in arrears and debit orders have been returned unpaid.

Phoned Wesbank again on the 16th where the consultant assured me that she will rectify the mistake and send me a mail after the 21st with all the necessary corrections, it is already the 22nd of the following month and I am still waiting.

After not receiving a statement for the month of July I decided to log into the website to check what is going on only to find out that I am in arrears, being charged interest for being in arrears and that I am being charged for a whole lot of other 'services' and and and. Please give me an explanation for the following interest amounts that have been charged to my account. Your consultants that I spoke to, could not do it, they just kept passing me around from one department to the other. Arrears Interest – May 2020 – R64.72 (total) Arrears Interest – June 2020 – R70.24 (Total) – I had a payment holiday, how do I get charged with ARREARS INTEREST AND Normal interest? Interest – March – 2745.18 + 137.22 Interest April – 2906.56 + 145.29 Interest May – 2786.04 + 139.26 + Interest June – 2850.86 + 142.51 + 69.38 NCA Service fee – R69.00 per month? PS: CHECK THE RECORDINGS FOR 22 JULY 2020, IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE THAT YOUR CONSULTANTS CANNOT ANSWER THE QUESTIONS.

I received an email from Sallie, I am not at all satisfied in the way this matter is being attended to, it seems that complaint are being read to reply and get them closed rather than sorting the actual problem at hand. I have rep**** to Sallie stating that I will not pay for arrears interest for April as I have email proof that my payment relief started in APRIL as I requested and not in May as stated in the email received my Sallie. None of the matters in my complaint have been addressed or attended to whatsoever so my complaint is far from being sorted.
