Absa takes advantage of unemployed and vulnerable people

Dear Absa,

I am writing to express my frustration and concern regarding the ongoing charges on my account. I am currently unemployed and rely solely on the R370 I receive from the government each month. Unfortunately, most of this money is consumed by bank charges, leaving me with almost nothing to live on.

I also do not understand why I am still on a cheque account, which carries such high fees. I feel as though I am being unfairly charged for a service I do not fully understand or benefit from. This situation is making an already difficult financial situation even worse.

I kindly request that you close this account immediately, as I can no longer afford to maintain it. I would appreciate confirmation of the closure and clarity on any final steps I may need to take.

Please help me stop this ongoing financial burden. I have been trying to find work for years without success, and I cannot continue to lose the little support I get to excessive bank fees.
