Account hassles

A few weeks ago I opened a new account at Edgars - I cancelled the account straight after opening it because it was for 12 months with interest. I swore that I won't consider buying there again.<br> <br> After a phone call from head office they confirmed my account was indeed closed and all was settled.<br> <br> I wanted to apply again from scratch for a 6months account at the Vryheid branch seeing as Bloemfontein branch couldn't help me last time. However after reapplying all over again I wasted my time yet again. I made it clear as the light of day that I want A 6 MONTH INTEREST FREE ACCOUNT - but no...<br> <br> My first account was never cancelled and they just issued it all over again - why the hell will head office call me and confirm my account is closed and when I reapply for a interest free account I find out the account is still open!!!<br> <br> This is unacceptable. So the problem lies with head office all the time! How on earth am I suppose to open an account from one of your branches if the main problem lies with you!?

Hello Mr. W. Coetzee,

We must sincerely apologise for the overall experience. Please be advised we do offer 6 months interest free accounts but there is an affordability criteria that is used to determine whether the customer qualifies of not. If the customer does not qualify then the account will be approved on 12.

Please be advised the account is closed and you will only be able to re-apply for another account after 4 months.

Please find your reference number: ***/GO

Kind regards,
Customer Experience Team.
