Desperate in need of bank statements.

I have been for close to two months now been calling and going to the African Bank branches requesting for my bank statement but nothing at all. I recently got divorced and changed my surname from the one I had opened my account with. I went to African Bank with all of my documents to facilitate the name change.

No the work permit that I am currently using has the marriage surname and they stated that the account has been blocked because of that. I need to bring forth my new work permit. I understood that and left.

Fast forward, I had to produce my bank statements to a service provider and prove that I had paid for their services. I then went to the bank straight to request for them but I have been thrown from pillar to post but nothing seems to be helping as up to now I still do not have the statements. The service provider is now demanding payment of which I know for a fact I paid for it and I have the sms to prove that but without the statements I have no leg to stand on.

All I am requesting for are my bank statements and nothing else. The account can be activated as soon as I have the amended work permit but for now, may I please have my previous bank statement. I am desperate here.

Have spoken to a a gentleman by the name of who apologised but was not able to assist me with the statements. The documents that you keep requesting for we have gone to the branch and had them scanned. I am not sure what else I need to do to get these previous bank statements. The account can be closed there after its okay but I really need the bank statements.
