CIBA( Chartered Institute of Business Accountants) - A Unprofessional & ********* Governing Body

I joined CIBA back in 2021 when it was still SAIBA, I made sure that I kept up with my CPD ensuring that my verifiable and non verifiable hours are up-to-date. In 2024 I made a decision to cancell my membership as there was no benefit to being a member of that organisation they don't help you with anything and all they do is upsell their webinars and courses + membership.

I paid my outstanding membership for 2024 and requested that my membership be cancelled and not to be renewed for 2025. I received a ticket for the logged request and the consultant on hand acknowledged my request and said my membership would be cancelled going forward.

yet I kept getting billed, each time I would email support the email would bounce, each time I try to call their helpline the call has not being going through. Whats worse is I have no logged in the portal in years, its been years since I updated my CPD I denounced any and all association with the organisation whereby I even removed the designation behind my name. yet they still kept my memebrship active despite numerous request.

Today they sent me a legal warning whatsapp. I believe as an institute recognised by SAICA they are not allowed to keep my membership active if my CPD are not up-to-date but to shhpw they not a professional organisation and they just want money they still harrassing me for a bill I have no business paying for
