Capitec Bank affecting my chances at getting a job

I have an Access Facility Account with Capitec which I was unable to pay off due to retrenchment and the account was sent to Debt Collectors. I recently managed to pay off the account which was affecting my credit check for a job I am to be hired for, this is after I had settled my account, sent a paid up letter to Capitec after which they sent an email stating that "all listings at the Bureau and and that outstanding balances will automatically be updated to a paid in full status".Currently my app is reflecting a balance of R151.05 and when I call the legal department it is not on record that the account is paid up,this is after I received an email from Capitec on the 18 November 2022 confirm that the account has been settled.Capitec please can you not play around with my livelihood,I have been out of a job for a year now and as a Bank you are directly affecting my life and that of my family's by not updating your records and those of the bureau, I am tired of the back and forth on this issue.Please can you deal with this immediately as I am running out of time to secure this job I am in contention for

Reviewer Update
I am from the Capitec Branch @ Lifestyle center(Centurion), my account has been flagged for arrears even though I have a paid up letter and an email from the 18th of November stating "all listings on the Bureaus and all balances will automatically be updated to a paid in full status".Capitec can you please resolve this issue once by closing off this account because I my job conditional offer is expiring. I really don't understand why you would send me an email to confirm settlement only for you records to indicate arrears on the account, WHAT ARREARS ARE THESE!!!As a customer I have lost all confidence in this bank due to the fact that at this moment in time Capitec is standing in the way of me getting a job and providing for my family.In no way is Capitec making Banking easier, instead it is making life harder(Incident #***)
