Access facility is like a loan at Capitec or a loan shark method

I opened an access facility with capitec and used a portion of the money. Later on I deposited a portion of the money to reduce the principal debt but capitec is saying the principal debt can't be changed and will have to continue paying the initial debit, although the principal debt is now less. That's nonsense, how does access facility works? Is it a bond or a loan? Other banks don't do that, and you can't say I have to keep paying it for atleast 4 months. Access facility is suppose to stop and not pay, unless I have used it. Your agent is even telling me that I have to close it to not pay access monthly fee? That's not even stipulated in the contract. You guys operate like some loan shark from mdatsane in eastern cape. It's awful. Read on what aceess facility is and what you provide, it is not access facility. It's something else.

Reviewer Update
The agent I was on the phone with, stated that a supervisor will contact me but it seems they do not care. How could you tell me to go to the branch that assisted me with the facility? I should cut short my vacation to go to the branch? I mean, if the call Centre can't help, why is it there in first place? Is it to make capitec bank looks like a real bank or what? Again, are they even trained to assist people? When I call, I expect them to listen to me and not utter nonsense that they've crammed. You should close down your call Centre because it's not serving its purpose, and this wasn't the first time.
