Irresponsible with allocation of funds
Hello Peter, I am lodging a formal complaint regarding DebtBusters and their consultant from the payments team, Sisanda. On 9 February 2026, I provided proof of payment and gave clear instructions that the funds should be distributed only to my ABSA Home Loan account. Despite Sisanda’s acknowledgment, the payment was incorrectly distributed elsewhere. I followed up on 10 and 11 February 2026, and again today, but my emails have been ignored. This lack of communication is unacceptable, especially since my request was specific and confirmed. I now request that higher management at DebtBusters urgently pull and listen to the call recording between myself and Sisanda. This will confirm that I made the instruction clearly and that Sisanda committed to advising PDA accordingly. I am asking for: - Immediate correction to ensure payments are directed only to the ABSA Home Loan account. - An explanation of how this error occurred. - Accountability for the lack of communication and disregard of my repeated follow‑ups. - Confirmation that management has reviewed the call recording. I trusted DebtBusters to act responsibly with my financial instructions. This failure has undermined that trust and I kindly ask that this matter is resolved urgently and transparently.

Lengthy underwriting process - Almost a month
I have been waiting for more than two weeks for final feedback following the underwriting requirements, and the delay has been extremely disappointing. I have previously app**** for life cover under the same health conditions and currently hold two policies with Discovery Life, and not once has the underwriting process ever taken this long. I would not recommend this company to anyone unless you have ample time and patience to endure the long waiting periods. In my case, it has already been over two weeks with no progress, and at this rate, I am almost certain the process will exceed a month before a decision is made. The level of inefficiency is truly unacceptable.

Poor service experience
I recently contacted FNB Business Banking and was assisted by a female consultant named Thabo. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing and unprofessional. During the call, Thabo sounded disinterested in assisting me and at times appeared misinformed. At one point, she insisted: “may I have the account number of the business, that is what I’ve been asking for.” This was incorrect, as she had initially requested that I confirm either my ID or account number. At the time of the call, I did not have these details available, yet her manner of communication made it seem as though I was at fault. When I asked for her name, she gave it in a very soft and dismissive tone, sounding annoyed by the interaction. Her attitude came across as subtly rude and unhelpful, leaving me with the impression that she was unhappy to be at work and unwilling to assist clients properly. When I confronted Thabo about her behaviour during the call, she had the audacity to tell me that my perception was based on the fact that she was not laughing during the call and was “just being professional.” This response is puzzling, as professionalism does not require laughing with a client, but rather respectful, clear, and helpful communication. As a client, I expect professionalism, clarity, and respect when engaging with FNB staff. This experience fell short of those standards. I strongly request that somebody in higher management pull the recording of this call, listen to it, and provide me with feedback.

Bad after sales service
I sent an email to Tracker Support Health Checks on the 19th of December 2025, to date I still have not received a response. My email was ignored, yet they are quick to respond to insurance companies. What I don't understand then is, who is the client here? The insurance company or me?

Please remove me from PDA effective immediately
I submitted a request to DebtBusters to remove a creditor from my PDA distribution list after my insurer confirmed they would settle the debt directly due to a recent accident. Despite this, the creditor remains listed, and DebtBusters has failed to act or communicate. This delay puts me at serious risk. If I make payment to the PDA, funds may be misallocated to a creditor whose account is already being settled, while my other creditors go unpaid. This could lead to the cancellation of my debt review process, which I’ve worked hard to maintain. All I asked was for the creditor to be removed so I could continue paying the rest through PDA without issue. Due to the lack of action, I’ve decided to stop using the PDA and will pay my creditors directly. DebtBusters’ lack of responsiveness is unacceptable. If this is not resolved immediately, I will escalate the matter to the National Credit Regulator.

Incorrect Stupid security questions.
Whenever I call any department at ABSA, I am requested to answer questions, some of which relate to my profile and some not. Every time, I fail these questions which delays the resolution to the query I had. Why do you have incorrect answers to these stupid questions? You can never say I failed questions that are about me. Now the thing must be escalated to another person who will call me back within 72 business hours yet I still haven't received a solution to my question.

Lack of service
On the 26th of August 2025 I contacted the Diners Club call centre for a copy of my statement of balances. The gentleman I spoke to advised that as my account is under debt review I would need to send an email to a Henriette Putter with my request. I sent the email to Henriette on the same day and to date I still haven't received the said statement. Seeing that Henriette is not willing to assist as the contact person I was referred to, can somebody else please assist me.

This company doesn't resolve queries
My complaint that I logged on 1 September still hasn't been attended to. Can someone at least act like I am an important customer and call me regarding the issue I raised.

*********** call centre staff
I took out an Avbob policy around 9 July 2025 for myself and my brother. A Debicheck authorisation was sent and accepted on the same day. On 10 July, I added my wife and children to the policy, which required a new Debicheck authorisation, again, accepted immediately. Despite these timely actions, the policy did not debit on 20 July as expected, even though the start date was clearly recorded as 1 August. The first successful debit only occurred on 20 August. Then, on 28 August, I received an SMS stating that my policy now has a new start date—impacting the waiting period. This is both confusing and unacceptable. I contacted Avbob on Friday 29 August at approximately 16:30 and spoke to a consultant named Tshepang. The interaction was deeply disappointing. Tshepang was dismissive, inconsistent in his explanations, and appeared either poorly trained or unfami**** with basic policy procedures. His responses shifted from blaming delayed Debicheck acceptance (which is factually incorrect), to the addition of dependants (which was done the following day and authorised immediately), and finally to a supposed “cooling-off period” that contradicts the original start date and policy terms. This level of confusion and lack of clarity from a representative is unacceptable—especially when dealing with something as serious as funeral cover. I respectfully request that Avbob senior management take the time to listen to the recording of this call. The content and tone were not only unhelpful but undermined my confidence in the organisation’s professionalism and internal training standards. I expect a formal explanation and correction of the start date, along with assurance that my waiting period will reflect the original policy terms. I also urge Avbob to ensure that staff are equipped to handle queries with accuracy, respect, and accountability.
