Unauthorised DebiCheck Debit – Misled by Agent (Immediate Refund & Cancellation Required)

I am writing to lodge a formal complaint against Clientèle Life for *****ulent/misleading sales tactics. On 21 August 2026, I was approached by a Clientèle agent who completely misled me about what I was signing up for. An unauthorised DebiCheck mandate was pushed through, and a debit of R391 was processed eithout me allocating my bank details from my Capitec account on 26 August 2026.Because this is a DebiCheck, Capitec Bank is unable to reverse it on their side, leaving me financially compromised. I am well within my legal 31-day cooling-off period. I demand that Clientèle Life: Immediately cancel this policy and any linked DebiCheck mandates. Process a full refund of the unauthorised amount debited on 26 August.Send a formal cancellation letter to me in writing.If this is not resolved swiftly, I will escalate the matter to the National Financial Ombudsman (NFO) and the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA).
