SHOCKING SERVICE FROM EDCON EDGARS

My daughter has been trying to close her account which has a nil balance and requested that the insurance on her account be cancelled since 01/05/2020 as she could not claim from the account protection plan she is paying for due to not having a registered company document as she is a freelance swim coach and does not have a registered company due to Covid 19 is not receiving an income. So obviously close the account is the next step, however everytime today being the 4th time physically going to store and numerous calls she is told again that the account has an amount of R700 to settle (for what we do not know) before they can close the account. I have emailed them as well to no avail. They do not treat customers fairly or even bother getting back to them or rectifying theirs systems as what they state on the phone.

Reviewer Update
In addition to the above, my daughter just got home and advised that the lady at the client center at Greenstone store that knows her due to us being there so many times, told her that she "should not have taken insurance she cannot afford" HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT IN A PUBLIC AREA TO A CLIENT. She can normally afford it, but due to Covid 19 she is not earning an income and your society sold her a policy that was not explained to her that she could not use in times like this, but happily have been taking her premium every month.
That lady don't know her name should be given a written warning for speaking to a client that way.
