@nickhedley Totally true. People just get on with things. Far fewer hang-ups than in other parts of SA, and therefore more relaxed, more pleasant environment.

[Heidi Newby-Rose @HeidiNewbyRose]

Well, I will now be posting some of my colleagues' comments on @Nedbank and other SA banks...told them we don't exist because we don't have a landline, and therefore my boss and #FNB and others must be international finance skelms to collude in making me look like I have a job...

[Heidi Newby-Rose @HeidiNewbyRose]

don't have a landline number, you are a "risk" for a personal loan. Didn't think that one through, did you now, @Nedbank. My advice: steer clear of this bank - it's a joke. And it treats high-earning individuals like jokes.

[Heidi Newby-Rose @HeidiNewbyRose]

completely out of touch with reality, @Nedbank. And talking to intelligent people like they're morons and must believe that they, in turn, are dealing with credible finance providers who will give you a car that you can make disappear anytime you want...but because you

[Heidi Newby-Rose @HeidiNewbyRose]

Come to think of it...maybe I should do that...no, just joking, my dogs will never forgive me. Of course, what #Nedbank is implying here, is that I, my employers, my bank, the ATM, everybody is lying to them. Because they don't see a landline number. How to prove you're

[Heidi Newby-Rose @HeidiNewbyRose]

Think about this people, and the lame excuses provided by #Nedbank consultants..."risk"...I can drive my car over the border, go and abandon it anywhere, leave the continent on my German passport. Car lost, Nedbank in its glory with that particular loan.

[Heidi Newby-Rose @HeidiNewbyRose]

they can't give me a personal loan that I CLEARLY qualify for (after the consultant sending me SMSs asking me to approve the debit orders...because the perfectly legitimate business I work for, with payslips supplied, bank accounts provided...because there is no LANDLINE number.

[Heidi Newby-Rose @HeidiNewbyRose]

WHAAAAA! Here we go. So, six months ago, the day my husband died, #Nedbank grants me vehicle finance, no one asks about my phone number, no-one asks for a landline number to confirm employment...I just get this car. Now, 6 months later, same employment, same contact numbers...

[Fundamental Skills @FUNDAmentalSKIL]

Hey @topictv ...I cancelled my subscription online LAST month, about 6 weeks ago. How dare you still debit my bank account???

[Fundamental Skills @FUNDAmentalSKIL]

@JanseKristine & here I thought you were a bit more discerning. Russia, or Russian government led by Putin? Serbia, or a few fundamentalist nationalists looking for kak because they have nothing better to do? I was also IN SERBIA at the time, so glad to say I have a wider perspective on this...

[Fundamental Skills @FUNDAmentalSKIL]

Nope, I didn't really think @HomeAffairsSA was going to answer, or be helpful in anyway.

[Fundamental Skills @FUNDAmentalSKIL]

So, @HomeAffairsSA ...what to do? Paid for my passport application online, can't make appointment at my nearest bank. No option, no feedback from the person listed on the website, nothing. What happens now? (PS It would be typical not to respond).

[Fundamental Skills @FUNDAmentalSKIL]

Hmmm...@Budgetinsurance...not very good at answering your phones, are you? Are you in cahoots with Vodacom? Do they give you kickbacks for cellphone time wasted?

[Fundamental Skills @FUNDAmentalSKIL]

Sorry, typo here - Karabo Nkgodi. Apologies! But return my money, whoever you are. #FNB Today is the day I switch to Discovery Bank and take all my money and credit card away from FNB. Toodledoo!

[Fundamental Skills @FUNDAmentalSKIL]

So, 8 days after taking my money and NOT contacting me to tell me what documents they wanted, I get this BAREFACED LIE email from the consultant who was SUPPOSED to have contacted me but didn't #FNBforex

[Fundamental Skills @FUNDAmentalSKIL]

"Tried to contact you but to no avail" says Ms Karabo Mklgodi at @FNBSA forex. And says "the deal will be cancelled " and the costs will be for my account. What deal? No forex deal took place. #FNB simply took my money and hasn't returned it yet.

[Fundamental Skills @FUNDAmentalSKIL]

if the money wasn't back in my account by ten today. Some serious backside kicking required at #FNBforex.

[Fundamental Skills @FUNDAmentalSKIL]

I want my money to make another plan to send it where it's supposed to have gone a week ago, and they can't pull their fingers out of their orifices to just plainly put it back in my account. #FNB I TOLD the forex guy Shabalala I would be making names public

@Netflix! The Mess you Leave Behind is NOT a bingeworthy teen show...who on earth do you get to classify these things???
