WesBank bicycle financing

Wesbank suddenly rejected my application for Bicycle financing after they approved it. Their reason : they picked up that I applied for a personal loan with Absa.

Obviously I did consider all my financing options and I did shop around, but I did not take the Absa loan. But even after submitting letters from Absa proving that I did not take a personal loan they persist to reject my application.

I have only received poor service from them, even after I tried to escalate through their complaints website.

Wesbank clearly cant make decision on an ad hoc basis and hide behind their business rules. Clients are therefore just numbers and potential risks to them.

The only other thing I can think of which caused these defaults other than an accident was when the vehicle was delivered and the other vehicle rolled off the delivery truck into it.

WesBank edward shelaluke-unethical conduct, incompetent service and fraudulent representative

I have contacted Edward Shelaluke on [protected] for the past 2 months to resolve a query of having an insurance accrued to my account refunded as its not part of the contract. After struggling to resolve this over 2 months, the tasking is still incomplete and when I informed Edward Shelaluke there are additional charges of the insurance that is not part of the contractual arrangement and these charges are supposed to be reversed.Edward unlawfully made a counter arrangement disregarding the contractual arrangement to refund me what is mine and instead informs I must write a cancellation letter and forfeit that which is his mistake in calculating . Edward received the proof of my insurance as he requested and still proceeded to inaccurately reverse certain charges and not all that reflects the terms of the agreement. After requesting a refund, there was a delay from Edward as I am informed his either on Lunch or twice a day on tea-which is at inconsistent times. Hence when I called in after holding for 20 minutes, I contacted Thandi Nefure whom informed that Edward supposed to send a standardised letter informing of the Excess paid in my account and that she will pass this message to Edward.I called in today (25/2/2018) and found out this was not executed by Edward again. To date all I get is the managers/ Teamleaders are always in meetings.Hence only fraud and unethical conduct has been supported by Management of Wesbank Toyota Finance to date. The outcome was when I requested a reference to refer the matter to the ombudsman I was told not to update Hellopeter and continue waiting for assistance and its way over 2 months.

WesBank car taken in my absence

Wesbank collection agents came and take my car in my absence and was told they carelessly pulled my car, I am now receiving a message that they valued the car R120000 of which they demanded R800 000 from me.

All my personal stuff including my working equipments are inside the car as I have been moving around from different provinces with work.

It is clear that they already have a buyer for my car hence such low values.

Please advise as I was also told the collectors harassed my sister and were very rude, when she called the police they made it a point that they runaway immediately

WesBank harassment from wesbank and direct axis

Good morning. Please help me to stop wesbank and direct axis from harassing me with unsolicited emails and sms's. I have tried numerous times to opt out and to stop them from sending me emails. This is a copy of the email I sent to them last week - and today I get another email form, direct axis!

Good morning.
I have no idea how you got my cell phone number and email address number to bombard me with unsolicited emails and sms's.
I do not appreciate receiving these messages from you!
I have tried to unsubscribe from your lists to no avail.
On researching your companies harassment of other consumers I googled hello peter.com, and see that you are shameless in the way you treat your customers and unsolicited consumers.
https://www.hellopeter.com/directaxis
Take me off your contact lists!
It is a complete waste of your time and money to send me messages, as I can assure you that I will never do business with your company.
If I receive any more unsolicited sms's and emails from you I am going to the consumer council to lodge a formal complaint against your company.

WesBank vehicle finance

I have had the worse service with Wesbank. I bought a car ford focus in 2014 October and it was financed by Wesbank. At the time I was happy until I missed 3 payments when I dot into financial difficulties this year. they fetched my car a 2 weeks ago on the 27th March 2018. I was told to phone the wesbank lawyers if I want to negotiate any payment terms. I have been doing back and forth for the past two weeks but no response from the lawyers to whcih they responded twice to my (4 emails that I sent) and said they are still waiting for their client which is wesbank for further instructions.

I then contacted wesbank directly and was told they are waiting for their lawyers. but they think the car will be sold even if I'm willing to pay all the arrears and bring my account to date, they are not interested.

so Wesbank will get the car, sell, the car and I have to pay whatever is left plus legal costs and on top of that I wont have a car but webank will have all their money. they wont even give second chances nothing.

WesBank chevrolet utility 1.4 sport p/u s/c

My account no. is [protected]
I bought this vehicle from Wynberg Used cars in March 2017.
I am in the process of trading this Vehicle in for a new Vehicle and it has been brought to our attention by Thorp Chevrolet that according to the Vin No. this Vehicle is a Chevrolet Utility Base and not a Chevrolet Utility Sport as you have registered it with Wesbank. Because of this the trade in is much less than it should be and there is a delay now with the new Dealer. If I would to be in an accident my Insurance would not be able to pay out the claim as the information and registration of the Model does not correspond. Please fix this immediately and come back to me in this regard as I need to confirm with the Dealer.

WesBank I am complaining about illegal summons and legal costs that needs to be removed from my accounts

Last year 2017 was a financialy bad year for me. In August I went in to Wesbank head office in Randburg to make arrangements because I did not want to loose my vehicles. After about 2 weeks after my visit I received a visit from Wesbank at my home where the man they send among-st other things checked if the vehicles was at my home address. In December I had work and was able to catch up considerably on the backlog on all my account. Then I saw that there was legal costs added to my accounts. On inquiring about the legal costs I was told that summons has been issued against all my vehicles at my previous home address. This is illegal! After taking the matter up with the Attorneys and Wesbank head office it was decided that the attorney would abandon action against me and that some of the costs would be written off and my accounts credited. I also have paid the arrears for 2 of the vehicles in full: with no positive effect from Wesbank offices. Further legal costs has been added by the person handling my account. According to the attoreneys Smith Van der Walt Inc they were instructed to withdraw all actions on these matters. When I email Miss Phumzile Dlamini she says I must speak to the attorneys. I have emailed here, but she does not respond. When I go in to see her in the office, she doesn't make any notes or log into her computer and she never comes back to you.

I also have the same had the same experience yesterday, I was served with papers yesterday but it was copies and they were not signed and the so called Sheriff did not make me sign anything. I went to the police station to verify the documents and I have also send it to my attorney to review. I was advised to go to the head office in Randburg to sort the matter. I have also called the call centre to get my settlement account and I was given a other number to call, I think this could be the agent, I was told by her she needs to contact the lawyers for the legal fees cause she had to add this onto my settlement is this Legal, cause I have been paying my account every month? And again last month my statement was not send to me.

WesBank unethical behaviour

I logged a request to change my payment date from the 1st to the 25th of Feb on the 27th of January 2018 as per your online instructions, 5 days before the time. I Then received two message from you to confirm status "Worked" on Monday the 29th of January. Still you took money on the 2nd of February from my account and when I phoned in the lady on the other side said that she cannot explain what went wrong but that she cannot unfortunately help me. Now it shows I missed a payment but this is not my mistake as they were delayed with actions. Now a dept collector sends me an invoice.
When I phoned Wesbank they confirmed all was in order for the 25th .
Shockingly poor serve.

WesBank account in arrears

I received a private call from one of your consultants today. She was extremely unprofessional and arrogant. She told me that the call is being recorded, but the thing that made me most angry was the fact that she spoke while I was speaking and that she threatend me (financially). I am extremely unhappy with the service I have been receiving. I will never recommend Wesbank to anyone. Apparently I am in arrears with my vehicle, which I have been paying each and every month since 2014. DUE TO LOW CASH FLOW. I went under debt review in 2015, which Wesbank quickly accepted. Now all of a sudden I am being told, that Wesbank has the right to insure their vehicles (so insure your vehicles at Wesbanks own costs) and that my debt review account is going to be terminated if I do not pay the accounts arreas. How could insurance be included (when they already agreed to the payment methods through summits) by Wesbank into my account without my knowledge (send me the documentation papers which I signed were as I acknowledged that Wesbank could include insurance at anytime, like Wesbank is trying to do now) and I have been asking for the documentation which I signed were as they made me aware of this? Firstly I will not be forced to take out insurance which I could not afford. I still made sure payments are made on the vehicle every month since 2014. According to my knowledge if insurance is not paid for 3 consecutive months it falls away and it stays my decision to have insurance of not. 2019 is supposed to be the final year of payments to Wesbank on the vehicle they financed. I cannot afford insurance at this time. I AM UNDER DEBT REVIEW FOR A REASON, CASH FLOW IS LOW.

WesBank poor service

I have applied for vehicle finance (private sale) through my business (Sew Kool CC) The reference number is PPT66904L. I received an e-mail on 30/11/2017, informing me that my finance has been approved. I signed the quotation and sent through to Wesbank along with ALL relevant documents on THE SAME DAY. On 06/12/17 I e-mailed the lady to find out what is happening. On 07/12/17 she deleted my e-mail WITHOUT reading it. I then sent her another e-mail and told her just how unhappy I was with Wesbank's service and that she needs to tell me why the seller has not been contacted yet AFTER SIX working days. On the same day she contacted the seller and he sent all documents to her on 08/12/17. I have now been sending her e-mails for the past two days with NO reply and so has the seller. I phoned and after I spent about an hour on the phone and being transferred from department to department, I get told that the lad is on sick leave! I can unfortunately NOT accept this, someone needs to tell me HOW LONG I am still going to wait to get this matter resolved. Myself and my business are long-standing excellent clients of Wesbank, but this deal has dissappointed me immensely. It would be appreciated if I could get feedback as soon as possible. If not, I am going to take this matter to the highest authorities.

WesBank unethical behaviour

I received a call from one of your consultants yesterday at about 17.35. He was extremely rude with me. I am also not happy with the service i have been receiving from Wesbank. Apparently i am in arrears with my vehicle that I have paid each and every month. When your consultants could not pin point which month was not paid they came up the story of insurance that was included without my knowledge. Firstly I will not be forced to take out insurance which i could not afford at that time as I was unemployed but i made sure i made my payments on the vehicle. Apparently I am R10 000 in arrears with what? Insurance? According to my knowledge if insurance is not paid for 3 consecutive months it falls away! Plus I do have insurance with king price which i sent to you guys as proof! so why am i being harassed by your consultants on a daily basis?

WesBank vehicle finance

I know there was a ruling against Wesbank by the Competition Commission earlier this year about Vehicle Finance unit that would repossess peoples cars.

ID # [protected]

I am one of those people.I have an account, and had paid over 70% of my instalments.

My brother passed, i skipped one month since I needed the money for the funeral.I called Wesbank to explain and make an alternative arrangement.Thinking that the bank agrees..

Only for them to send somebody to fetch the car..which was later auctioned I believe, and Im still financially liable and paying the outstanding balance..

Please assist with a go ahead..as I would have done everything to keep the car.

Kindest regards

WesBank unprofessional customer service

See e-mail sent to Dorcas Makoena dd 18 Oct 2017 below :

Dear Dorcas,

Thank you for your e-mail.

Our telecom of Friday the 13th October refers. I asked for the below periods and have not decided which one to go for and I was considering an deposit to bring the amount down.

I have in the meantime received sms’s from your Company re iContract for account number [protected], Pin 547……., Expires 2017-10-18 login to www.wesnank.co.za ?
Firstly I have no account as I have not signed /agreed to this as yet. I also told you that I will be travelling to P.E and I could not access the details .

And another sms. Was sent as follows ; Wesbank Leisure Finance will send you a new OTP PIN during business hours once the amendments you have requested have been made ?

I have not requested amendments as I have not seen the proposed contract and I told you your interest rates were too HIGH. Also see my e-mail when I told you so when I referred to another Financier. I still have not received the OTP PIN so I cannot access the details. I also asked you to send further details per e-mail to me.

Please take note : I am a potential client/person and not just an robot that must accept what you send me. What happened to customer service ? You also informed the Supplier prior to talking to me about the “approval” … this is not acceptable.

Both the Supplier and myself have been kept at bay on this and I am very unhappy about the state of matters with my request.

In the light of the above details I have decided to call it a day with Wesbank and will not make use of your organisation any longer as this has also been going on for too long after “approval” by yourselves.

Also take note that I will be lodging a complaint to your Head Office.

Thank you.

S.Jooste.

The lady was very rude, she even failed to listen on what ever i was saying.
