Westbank useless
After al lot off e-mails and still no response I called them to ask why are my instalments now suddenly more, then they told me they do not have on the system that I have comprehensive cover.
Westbank just deducted money for car insurance without my consent.
I called my insurance myself and even e-mail it to wesbank.
Now a week later and my account is still in arrears. They do not fix it.
What can I do about this incompetent wesbank?

Not interested in clients who do pay their accounts
I am a Wesbank client and have been for the past 7 or so years. In all the years that I have had any form of debt I have never skipped a payment . All Debit orders are processed by a 3rd party - Bankserve - who are the go between Wesbank and my Bank. All debit orders between the 21st and 25th of April were due to an error at Bankserve not run between Wesbank and my Bank, and as a result they came back with the error message - unpaid. Bankserve informed all these institutions to resubmit the debit orders. All the other institutions - namely, OUTsurance, Momentum etc did so and there were no problems. Wesbank, however wait till the 11th of May and then have an arrears consultant call me and say that I have not paid my car - oblivious of the error that occured. I then asked her to resubmit the debit order and to give me a letter explaining that the error was not mine - I did also email the letter from my bank explaining the problem. Today 12 May I get an SMS saying that I am now likely to have an adverse credit record. I call again 12 May at 10h30 but as at close of business today have not had a phone call or letter as requested.

Unfair decline of application
I made an application for finance through a dealer on the 5th of May 2010.With the promise of getting a response within 2 hours. But only to get a response on the 12th of May 2010. And the response was declined for an unfair reason. I have an account with FNB and the account has a savings pocket attached to it. Somehow all my money was in the savings pocket and a single debit order failed to come off the cheque account, which is literally the same account. I resolved the issue with the service provider amicably and for that reason I have been denied a loan and I do not know if anyone can hear my appeal except through this website.

Wesbank bills for insurance on vehicle already insured
On Friday 23 April 2010 I received a letter from Wesbank adjusting my premium as my vehicle which is financed through them was according to Wesbank not insured. When contacting Wesbank and being put through to various people I was told that letters were previously sent to me to send them proof of insurance (these letters were not received by me). Why could wesbank not bother to contact me telefonically or even contact the insurance company to confirm before deciding to increase my debit order. 2. After speaking to numerous people on Monday 26 April 2010, the last person said they would contact the insurance and confirm that this vehicle was still insured and let me have the name of the person who informed them that my insurance policy was cancelled - needless to say this has not happened. Not even a call to let me know that this matter has been sorted out. Is this the type of client service Wesbank wants to be known for? Every company is going green but wesbank is sending out numerous letters which could have been one telephone call. The insurance policy which I took when I purchased the vehicle of which details were given to Wesbank is still valid.

Think twice before financing with Wesbank
I would just like to say one thing Wesbank just want to take everyone for a ride, i have had 2 vehicle financed with them paid my first car off (R125000), and i paid it off in 3 12 years, second vehicle was an opel (R80000) so bith were bought brand new with a rate of 15.6% which i understood because i have never financed anything etc etc, i bought a new vehicle R300000. i called wesbank and thought they financed me before and maybe they could give me a good rate, guess what they gave me an excellent rate of 15.4% wow big friken deal!!! for a person that never skipped payments paid both cars off in 3 12 years i must be a terrible liabilty to them!!! anyways needless to say at least Ford credit and even standard bank were willing and welcomed me with an excellent rate, so people moral of the story shop around don't let dealers push you to use WESBANK!!!

Interest rate that is ridiculously high
I have identified a car that i want to purchase from a private seller. I approached wesbank for private finance for the car. My application was approved and the call center agent called me to read me the terms and conditions. However what she did not mention and i think she avoided to mention it is the rediculously high interest rate that Wesbank is charging me. I only saw this on the approval letter that they emailed me yesterday after working hours.

I approached Wesbank because I was being loyal to the brand since i work for Momentum and we fall under the First Rand umbrella. Well my loyalty is rewarded with a fixed interest rate of 18%. 18% for crying out loud!!! Is Wesbank kidding me!!!??

I would still like to go with Wesbank because of their quick responce but the interest that im being charged will be the determing factor of me going with the opposition.

I have not received my car papers
I have been pushed from pillar to post. I was requested to furnish Wesbank with the delivery address for my fully paid car. I did and after 3 weeks I called them to check what happened. I was given a tracking number. When I called speed services they told me that the parcel had been collected by a Mr Maphosa on the 08th March.

Now it is nowhere to be found and Mr Maphosa does not want to be accountable for it.

My complaint is that in the first place it was not even suppose to collected by someone else. I had expressely and impliedly requested that it should be hand delivered to me. But they decided to send it over the counter even though they had given me their word that it will be delivered to me.

I have fully paid for my car and I have no papers because someone decided to make a mess of the arrangement that was made. So I need to get my document delivered to me as in yesterday.

Failure to return calls
In the process of trying to arrange vehicle finance for a private sale their representatives failed to contact me numerous times and every time I contacted them and asked for assistance they promised to get the person responsible to contact me but it never happened. I had to phone them several times ending up holding the line for about 15mins every time. They then promised to contact the seller no later than Wednesday afternoon. On Friday afternoon after contacting them again several times and after threatening them if they don't contact the seller and call me directly after that to supply the details they once again failed to return my call. 2 Hours later I phoned again and this time in no pleasant mood. They then told me that they had contacted the seller and that they tried to phone the seller on Wednesday but he didn't answer his phone. This was not true since they never asked for any details of the seller (name or number), they only requested it on Friday afternoon. On top of that even as an FNB client they offered me a ridiculous interest rate, much higher than my other car that is financed through MFC.

Atrotious interest charges and lack of feedback
Hi, my father has been unemployed for more than a year now. Prior to this he was on debt counselling. My parents are struggling to make ends meet and because I dont want them to lose their house, I have taken a loan to help pay my fathers outstanding debt. The figure is very high though, and I can only afford to pay a percentage of the amounts. I have spoken to Solomzi from Wesbank, regarding my fathers call direct accounts, and sent through settlement offers. He says there is no record on the system of my father being on debt counselling. As such, Wesbank has piled on the interest. Wesbank is also the only company that has listed my dad on the credit bureau, despite him having been on debt review. The accounts are written off according to the info from Transunion, yet Wesbank refuses to accept the balances they have submitted there. I asked Solomzi to speak to his manager a few weeks back and get back to me with no response. My father is unemployed and if my offers aren't accepted, Wesbank is likely to end up writing it off completely as bad debt. So please make this easier for everyone involved and get back to me. He cant get a job because of this negative credit listing.

Their service is nothing, but a sick joke
Unless this is some kind of sick joke or I am being set up to be pranked by that guy from 94.7, I must say congratulations to Wesbank for a record setting period of not answering the phone (3 days with +-3hours on hold) in your 'customer service' call centre. I put customer service in inverted commas as the service level is difficult to judge considering you are unable to jump the first hurdle of answering the phone. A few questions Wesbank: 1. Does this call centre exist, or is it just a front to some sort of money laundering scheme? 2. Assuming yes, do you have any sort of standards or performance measures in terms of call turnaround? 3. Assuming yes, Is this acceptable? 4. Assuming you know how to run a call centre and the answer is yes, your arrogance and poor standards appal me and I will be moving my busies elsewhere. If however your feel you are in error and the call centre are actually supposed to answer the phone could I please have an explanation as to why they have not. Finally Wesbank, may I just applaud on you on helping to keep the flag flying for unacceptable customer care. Companies such as you do an amazing job of poor customer service. KEEP IT UP!!
