It took African Bank years to resolve the disputes on my account! From debiting the incorrect amount to not debiting my account at all, which then automatically gave me a bad credit history

It took African Bank years to resolve the disputes on my account! From debiting the incorrect amount to not debiting my account at all, which then automatically gave me a bad credit history. Now, after some years, I finally get to pay the loan account off. I was told that it takes about 72 hours to get a paid-up letter. It turns out that the request to get an account closure got rejected because the people I was dealing with did not give me an official letter stating that I got a discount, so the claims department couldn't check the notes on the system as I've heard they use a different system and process! The service over the years I received was putrid, and I will advise everyone I know in business and personally to NEVER EVER deal with African bank!

After getting this issue resolved. African Bank debited my account AGAIN this morning! Over 2k! I want this refunded NOW! How can you get my paid up letter sent to me but then still they debit my account?!? Make it make sense! Please sort this out now and I WANT compensation for my hundreds of rands calling into the call center! This is unacceptable and taking this matter further!

Yes they've refunded it because as usual, i had to complain first. Please stop the debit orders on this account and please send me some form of proof that this account is closed and that no more debits will be going off!
