MISREPRESENTATION OF FACTS

I was called by Absa Credit Card Division Call Centre and was asked if i would like to apply for a credit card.<br> After querying all the costs, i was advised that there was only a monthly cost of R 25 and interest costs, should the account not be paid within a 52 day period after purchases. When i went to pick up my card, i was told that i needed to pay an initiation fee of R 135. I advised the teller that i was not told about it and i was very upset that a company can sell a product whilst hiding other variables. This is misrepresentation and by principle this is unprofessional of Absa to do this. I requested for the recording 2 weeks ago and still till date i haven't received anything. I have closed the account although i havent received the credit card till date. It cost me <br> R 266.50 so far.<br> Absa refuses to removed the initiation fee. I suggest that everyone must not deal with a company that has intentions to rob innocent people. The person that did the application should be dealt with severely and i think that they should be fired because they are tarnishing the name of the Bank.
