On 11/5 I submitted a claim for which I had paid the doctor. I received an email saying the attachment was illegible. I'd sent the statement and POP originals. I then uploaded the documents on their website and heard nothing. I phoned about 2 weeks after my original claim and was told that sometimes the attachments are very small and to enlarge them which I did and resubmitted via email. I have since written twice and although my email is acknowleged automatically, my claim seems to be ignored. It doesn't show on my profile either. My last reference number was 11244009794 sent on 11/7. I have NEVER EVER had a payment for a claim reimbursed to my bank account in the many years I've been a member. BTW I can only claim via email or via the Discovery website. I do not have the app on my phone due to security reasons. I cannot see my claim under my profile either.
I had 4 x ID photos taken for my driver's license at 2pm on 7/1. I paid cash for the R100 cost and the lady put the money into a drawer. I asked for a receipt and she refused saying that they don't give receipts. This sounds very ***** to me.
Private banking is no longer giving decent service or any service. I cannot get hold of my private banker and am put into a queue. I was on hold for well over half an hour and have given up. I am too busy for this nonsense. Until recently I could contact my private banker directly but now it seems a call centre is handling everything. I want to reiterate, this is Standard Bank PRIVATE BANKING.
My geyser burst over 3 months ago and I had it fixed promptly using a local plumbers because the water was gushing into my house. Standard Bank Insurance said they will honour the claim and sent one of their building contractors to fix the damage made to the ceiling. Their work was shoddy to say the least but my complaint is that I am still waiting for reimbur*****t. I paid the building contractors an excess of R500 which was demanded before the work began. Now Standard Bank Insurance want to deduct the full excess (not minus the R500 I'd already paid). I will not sign the clearance documents because of this. I have written to them about it 5 times and and eventually today received a reply saying that I have to pay two excesses. One for the geyser and one for the ceiling damage. This is ONE claim, not two.
I was on hold for for 15 minutes before somebody answered and then he immediately transferred me and after 10 minutes on hold I gave up. Tried tech support and gave up again after being put on hold. I am trying to cancel my ADSL package but keep my email address. I tried online and got an error message "Error while creating support package". How on earth can I get hold of somebody?
This is the second time I am reporting this on here because all I have received is a standard reply and nothing, absolutely nothing has happened. I ordered something from Montague Gardens branch on 2nd August, received a dispatch email on 5th August and my parcel still hasn't arrived. I have written to Customer Care so many times I've lost count. I have phoned them.. still nothing. This is getting beyond a joke now. PLEASE would somebody attend to this and keep on it until my goods have been delivered. Order number MAK2105697
I placed an order from Montague Gardens branch on 2nd August and received a dispatch note on 5th August. It didn't arrive. I have phoned 3 times, sent 2 x emails and eventually received a reply 3 days later. I was promised they would look into it. I received a phone call around 15th August asking if it had arrived and I said it hadn't and was told they'd get back to me Since then I've heard nothing. I am appalled and am still without my purchase.
My BA credit card statement was not sent last month. I requested via phone that it be sent and after much hassle, it eventually got sent. This month, again the statement wasn't sent to me. I sent them an email about two weeks ago asking for a statement which was ignored. I wrote again two days ago and still nothing. I need this statement for VAT purposes. Would somebody PLEASE get back to me and also investigate why my statements have not been sent two months in a row? This also applied to my normal ABSA credit card - no statement received either.
<p>I was charged twice for one line which I'd spotted immediately after paying and got a refund. I got home and checked my till slip more thoroughly.</p> <p> </p> <p>I was overcharged R4 on a sandwich and was charged for 3 bags and only had 2.</p> <p> </p> <p>I have never bothered to check my till slip until today and did so on the advice of others who also have been overcharged at this branch.</p> <p> </p> <p>So, one shop, two bags of groceries and I was overcharge on 3 lines.</p> <p> </p> <p>The reason I am putting this on here is because I am so angry... and the store isn't answering the phone.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
<p>For once I can actually write something good about ABSA's service. After many frustrating visits to the bank and many emails, I had the good fortune to be allocated Marcella Van Rensburg at the ABSA Avios credit card help desk. She sorted out my problem but I want to commend her for her attitude. She was friendly, efficient, helpful and sympathetic and is a credit to humankind!</p>
