ABSA are a ripoff

I've been an ABSA client for the past 5 year. about 6 months ago my bank fees increased from about R250 a month to between R1200 - R2200 a month.<br> January I opened an account at another bank, and most of my transactions (including my salary payment) goes through this new bank account. Still me bank fees are well over R1000 at ABSA.<br> I decided to go and close this ABSA account today, the lady at the teller advices me that I need to pay R900 to close this account.<br> 1) I will not pay any more money to ABSA for so called fees.<br> 2) As from today I consider this account closed.<br> 3) I am not responsible for anything happening on this account.<br> 4) I will not (again) visit any ABSA branch to sort out any issues, as the people at their branches do not know that is going on (well for that matter the people at Nigel branch at least)<br> <br> This is now on a public domain, and I will take this further it need be.<br> As mentioned, I consider this account closed!<br> ABSA is an true example of how bad service should be, and it is only getting worst be the day. <br> <br>
