ABSA go mad
A consumer got a big fright the other day when he received his monthly ABSA statement for his vehicle
He thought he owes about R 250 000 for the vehicle however ABSA’s computer seems to have gone mad and changed the figure.
See the Picture to see what they now say he owes.
It is amusing to see that his monthly due amount has not changed.
What does this teach us? That, while it is important to get a statement each month so that you can track your debt and payments toward an account, you should not believe everything you read.
If you receive a statement that does not make sense or that does not show payments made by yourself or your PDA toward your debt contact the bank (and your DC) at once. Send a written complaint via email (with a read receipt request).
Do not panic. You probably don’t owe R5 mill for that car of yours.
