I cant even close my account without being tortured. Release me from the pain that is Discovery Bank

I am beyond ****ed off with you lot. I cant even close my account in peace !!

On the 2nd of Feb , I paid 63K into my account (as this is what my statement showed me )and I asked for it to be closed. On The 6th of feb I was told to pay outstanding interest etc of R 1.2k – I did this, and again asked for the account to be closed On the 8th feb, more charges and interest, and now I have interest charges to the 17th of Feb, and no doubt this number will continue to grow. I owe nothing – how is it that the charges keep piling up, while you all dither about closing the account ?

Is this policy to continue to torture me ??

And now this rather obscure little nugget ..

Due to no response on a request for further information, this case will be closed. Your Discovery Gold credit card account will remain active. Should you want to continue with this query in future, kindly contact us on ***. Regards Tracy Brown Discovery Bank Client Support

You're very good at "closing cases" but pretty ****e at closing account.

CLOSE THE ****** THING AS REQUESTED ON THE 2nd FEB

wonder how long soonest is - difficult process this ??
Now if I had an actual email / person to talk to, I wouldn't find it necessary to post messages here...
In the meantime I receive mails reminding me of a minimum payment that is due, as well as the fact that my card is expiring soon.
If only I could receive a mail, telling me that through shear tenacity, will power and a desire for customer service , that teams of bankers and I.T department officials, have miraculously unlocked the key to the seemingly impossible task of closing an account.
