ABSA Student Account

Got something like R248 till the end of the month. No idea how I'm going to make it, so even though it's something I hate to do, I'm probably going to have to borrow money from my parents.
 
Yep, I'm on a student account with them and they charged me R170 banking fees last month. Turns out I had to take my registration papers for university again this year, and the put up notices inside the bank, but never cared to notify me via email or post that I had to go do it.

R170 is farking ridiculous. That money coupled with the fact that my electricity charges are up by 80% means I'm going to have to survive the next 4 weeks on an absolute shoestring budget.

They sent me a sms in.... March/April.
 

The problem is, I'm not likely to get a credit card with Capitec again, and most of my family is also on ABSA, so it makes it easy if we have to move money between accounts.

I can't remember the last time I had any correspondence from ABSA. I sometimes get emails for some kind of ABSA consumer panel or something, but other than that, nothing. Not even bank statements. I should probably have it checked out, as I got credit card statements up until three months ago, but I'm no longer getting those either.
