Poor home loans death claim assistance
I have been speaking to Alida Vandyk regarding the bond of Mr and Mrs Mpata. Mr Mpata passed away in June and I forwarded the relevant documents to Alida. She confirmed that the claim would be paid by 4th September but she keeps asking for documents that I don't understand. I have copied her on an email to my attorneys where I asked her to advise me on the documents she's asking for and they advised that because the estate was less than R123, 000 those documents are not necessary. Alida became upset and responded by writting me an email in big bold letters. All we need is for the claim of Mrs Mpata to be settled or to be advised on exactly what to do so that this matter can be resolved. After all Bond cover is paid to have these things sorted out after the death of a spouse not to have complications with bank staff who are not willing to be helpful.

Debits still going off deceased estate
My mom passed away end of April, I contacted FNB, informed them and sent a copy of the death certificate to them and to FNB card division. I am waiting for the letter from the master of the high court to finalise the estate as I am the executor.

I saw this week that FNB is still allowing debit orders and card fees to be deducted from this account. Surely this is not allowed?

I am very disappointed in FNB Credit Card devision
I am very disappointed in FNB Credit Card devision as before I left (Feb 2009) South Africa for holiday to New Zealand, I informed them that I will be overseas and my credit card statement must be emailed to me on which they agreed on and said no problem. Now we are in September 09 and after plenty emails send to the email address on FNB web site and still no statement. FNB is very quickly to charge you interest on your account or if you are behind etc. My account is up to date and all I need is a flippen statement to see what is happening on my account. We are still in New Zealand and I can not just pick up the phone and speak to FNB as it is very expensive to phone overseas. All I am asking is a simple statement to be send to my email as per FNB records. I don't want to stop paying as them my account will end up in arrears and also don't want to over pay my account as I will never get my money back from FNB.

Double attorney trouble
I've been contacted by 2 Attorney firms now with regard to my FNB credit Card. I have querried both firms as to which account was handed over to them and they both gave me the same account details.So FNB not only didn't contact me in regard to my credit card being in arrears or that they are in process of handing it over, but they handed it over to 2 Attorney firms for collection with 2 different amounts which differs with more than R5000.

I don't deny not having paid the account, but I would like to know who am I suppose to pay at the end of the day as I will not be paying 2 attorneys for the same debt.

After numerous requests, still no results
This happend when I went into First National Bank - Rink Street Branch, Port Elizabeth about 7weeks ago - I went in to discuss my porfolio, currently - A Graduate package, and I asked them to upgrade my package to a Young Professional package, I forwarded all the relevant information and certificates as required. I have phoned on numerous occasions to follow up and on all 3 or 4 of these occasions I was requested to re-send the required information certificates etc, etc. I will not re-forward any information to FNB as I feel that this is pathetic. I want to be upgraded to the Young Professional package to obtain the benefits accordingly. I am working at a auditing firm and have successfully completed my CTA in accounting. If FNB do not want to help me, I will procede with the offer that Investec Private Banking offerred to me and leave FNB with all my accounts for Investec Private Banking. Please could the changes be made to my account accordingly and feel free to call me at any stage.

I do not get sms's or phone calls and I dont get assistance when I phone to them
I logged an issue on Monday re my inability to get hold of anyone to assist me in the collections dept. Veni assured me that senior managemnt would look into it (seems to be a standard response), No-one has contacted me. I have since learned that I have been listed by FNB on ITC as 'adverse'. This after I have never defaulted on my agreed payments (agreed with Timothy on 29408) and have in fact paid more than required. I have no idea why this has been listed - no-one from the bank has ever contacted me, I dont get statements, despite going to the branch twice (in 2007) to give proof of address details, I dont get sms's or phone calls and I dont get assistance when I phone myself. Unfortunately, Timothy appears to have left.

I will be taking this up with the credit ombudsman. Please, FNB, dont just reply on this site that someone will contact me - it does nothing for your image because no-one does.

Mislead and lied to by the bank
On the 14th Aug, I did a once-off internet transfer to another account.Since the person needed the money urgently, I chose to do an Express Clearing, which went through on my side.The person I was depositing the money to didn't get the money though.In the morning I went to my Branch to ask, I was told the Express Clearing didn't go through because it was a once-off, I showed them that it did went through.The person from the Internet Banking told me that I am not going to get charged the R32 because it didn't go through.I wanted them to reverse the money so I can deposit manually because it was needed urgently and they told me I am going to get charged for that! It was not my fault in the first place because the Internet Banking allowed me to do the Express Clearing, and I was put under the impression that it had gone through. Any way, I was not surprised today when I checked my statement and I found out that they have charged me the R32 for an Express Clearing that never happened! They wasted my whole morning that day going up and doing trying to fix their problem, I want to be reimbursed and rewarded back the money I deposited otherwice it's goodbye for both my accounts with u.

Zastron FNB bad for the image of the bank
I wanted to deposit money at FNB in Zastron on 01092009 at about 15H00. As usual, there was a long queue which was understandable for this time of the month.

I decided to deposit the cash at the ATM. After depositing the envelope with the cash into the machine, there was no paper in the ATM so no deposit receipt could be printed. I entered the bank again to enquire at enquiries about this problem. Although there was a queue at enquiries, the man behind the counter totally ignored us. After some time another man came from outside the and started attending to the customers. I could not wait longer and decided to write a complaint in the complaints book. Needless to say, the book as full.

It is now 06H15 on the 02092009 and the cash deposit is still not reflected on my account.

This is not my first encounter with such bad service in this branch. Many of my clients have the same problems with Zastron FNB. Please wake up the manager or even better, replace him as he is not control of his branch.

They need communication skills to avoid a nonsense
Called the e-bucks call center on the 300609 to cancel membership as I specifically stated I do not make use of this service & I dont want to be paying unecessary membership fees. According to my knowledge it was cancelled. Paid up my credit card in full to a NIL balance in July; August I receive a statement for EBUCKS MEMBERSHIP FEE!!! Called FNB Card, requested me to Call EBUCKS call center, called them, advised they do not reverse such fees, I need to contact FNB CARD, I AM BEING SENT FROM PILLAR TO POST AS NO ONE CAN TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR STUFF UP...I CANCELLED THE **** THING and dont see why i should now pay for it. I have been in contact with the EBUCKS call center for an entire week, was promised to be called back with feedback, still waiting STEVEN, and eventually was advised that the amount is in the process of being reversed, only to find out today, it cannot be reversed cause they do not deal with this issue, FNB Card needs to. Can SOMEBODY please sort this stuff up out and stop RIPPING your customers off!!! Wheter its FNB CARD OR EBUCKS that needs to sort it out, I DONT CARE, maybe the 2 departments needs COMMUNICATION SKILLS to avoid such nonsense!!!
