My son applied for his Provident Fund pay-out on 02 August 2011. To date he has not heard one word from ABSA. Trying to phone them is a waste of time as the calls never get answered. We ahve even tried the Adjudicator for Pension Funds, but to date no luck. Does anyone have a secret number where we can get hold of these people? My e-mail is andres@spanafrica.co.za. This is simply the worst service ever experienced by any of the financial groups that we have been in contact with...seriously?

The staff members of Absa are not doing their job because this complaint are the same. Since I applied for for PSSPF in 2010 November at Fox Street, I went there personally but even today I only received part of the money and the rest still outstanding. When you call the call centre number you will wait for more than 30 Min or no answer. By phoning the Absa we are loosing money while we are waiting for ours. Last month I call and spoke to Nthabiseng and Jenny and they said they are having the schedule for the company Hotline but still not capture, who must capture them without them. The services is very very poor.

I HAVE APPLIED FOR MY PROVIDENT FUND AT ABSA. I WAS TOLD TO WAIT ABOUT TEN WEEKS. UNTILL TODAY NO MONEY NO RESPONSE. WHEN I PHONE THEM THEY TELL ME TO WAIT FOR TWO WEEKS. THATS WHAT THEY TELL ME EVERYTIME I CALL SINCE NOVEMBER LAST YEAR 2011. NOW I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE BECAUSE NOW I'M LOOSING THE MONEY I HAVE EVERY TIME I CALL THEM. EVERYTIME I CALL I SPEND ABOUT FORTY RAND A CALL AND I CALL ALMOST EVERYDAY, THOSE PEAPLE OF ABSA ARE VERY VERY VERY RUDE AND THEIR SERVICE IS POOR...

Yet again I have heard nothing from ABSA? I will now be taking this further and reporting this matter to the Ombudsman and social media. I have another house in Durban with FNB and Insurance is Outsurance.
They have been absolutely fantastic and not had a problem at all with them. Their service is fantastic and they keep you updated and informed. Absa on the other hand, extremely disappointed.

I am completely disgusted with ABSA as the assessor came on the 3rd of February and to date, have had no correspondence from yourselves whatsoever! Each time it rains or storms my house gets more damaged. I have sleepless nights because of this...

ONE VERY UNHAPPY CLIENT- claim no: 3975451
