High interests rates

I phoned today to enquire why my interests rates are not stable, reducing even if i pay every month to reduce debts. I spoke to different agents : Jenna, Kagiso, Andrew and lastly Zingisa, whom i asked to speak to her Manager Marvin. I haven't use credit facility since May, i pay everything month but yet the interests rate is way too high even though the debt it is reducing, furthermore SARB reduced interests rates by 25point basis but i did not see any difference with Capitec. Today i phoned and no one could not assist me, they took me from pillar to post and don't know what the **** i am talking about. Typical example, Sep my interest rate was R1781.75, for Oct it is R1801.23, it should be less but it is more, i mean what nonsense is this with Capitec? How many of your clients you are ripping them off because they do not pay attention to their accounts like i do? Please sort out my account asap before i escalate this to banking ombudsman. You cannot keep interest rate high when debt is reducing and i want to see a difference because SARB cut the interests rates. I did see a difference with your competitors what is wrong with you Capitec???? please stop your nonsense by bankrupting people with high interests rates.

Reviewer Update
I haven't received any phone call from Capitec to explain why they are charging high interest rates. This is confirmation that they are still from the poorer, we approached them asking for help they do offer knowing they are taking advantage of the situation and indebted people more. Few years ago i never believed when it was stated that it is Machonisa bank and it should be shut down, now i agree. SARB did cut interest rates, we saw a difference with other banks but not this pathetic, ***** bank called Capitec. I am escalating this to banking ombudsman.
