Capitec intentionally affects credit score over a debt settled in 2021

Capitec Bank is a really disappointing institution, I settled my credit card debt with them in 2021 with their collections company after losing my job. Upon settlement, I was given a letter that neither myself nor Capitec can make any further claims on said account. Capitec still says I owe them R25.00 every single month just to affect my credit score. I have reported it from 2021 until now. No one wants to assist, I am sent from pillar to post over what I no longer owe. As you may know, I am unable to obtain a home loan or any credit for that matter, I have furnished all proof of settlement to Capitec, MBD and Credit Bureaus. Next stop is the banking ombudsman. Appalling service!

I am not holding my breath about getting any assistance from Capitec, it's the third year of automated responses such as this one from actual people employed there. I have lodged a complaint with the banking ombudsman. You're ruining people's lives!
