Horrible Experience!!!!!!

<p>I am very dissapointed and upset. I have finally managed to settle my account with african bank but they have still debited money from my Account!!!!!. Firstly, I have been back and forth using my airtime calling the call centre to dispute my remaining balance as it keeps changing and even though I have been making payments since last year, the balnce did not seemed to drop these past 3 months.Anyway I managed to get hold of a consultant on the 24th of May who advised me that she will stop th debit orders and provide me with a settlement amount, which she did. My settlement amount came to R1038.69 for the remaining accounts I have with african bank, however, theuy have debited me again!!!!!!! Like what the hell is going on!!!!! They have taken R200 from me which I don't understand as I have settled the account. Secondly, as a person who deals with clients on a daily basis, this by far,was the worst customer expeience I have ever had to go through!!!!! Having to use my airtime disputing balances, having African Bank debit my bank acc on 3 seperate days of every month instead of just taking the monthly installment all at once as I agreed to when I started making payments, Call center agents asuring You that they have stoped debit orders when they have not and sending my statements via post when I specifically siad I want the via email!!!!! R200 may not be that much but it is my money!!!! And they had not right debiting it!!!! especially because I sellted the account.!!!!! I would never want any one to have to go through what I have, they have no idea of what customer service is and wouldnt refer them to anyone!!!!</p>

I have just spoken to a call center agent regarding this matter, who hung up on me!!! Her nane is Bonolo, she said my credit card acc is still opened. Whe the lady from the 24th said she closed it and sent me an sms to confirm, with a ref no# of ********** . What the hell!!!! Now I get another sms saying that I need to scan through a proof of payment, which I have already done! Clearly people aren't doing their job!!!
