Opening an Account a nightmare

I went to open a account at Edgars. I was being helped by Mr. Mcebo.

At first he seemed he would be helpful but it ended up being a nightmare. Firstly he takes my cell number wrong, as he didn't double check with me before proceeding, he did not inform me that a purchase had to be made at the moment to activate the card.

He brings up the insurance policies and all he does is make me sign, does not even give me an option to say of I want it or not. Once my card was activated, i asked him if there were any monthly fees, his like yea and gives me a figure and I ask him why didn't he tell me that these are the charged before we activated the card, he says it comes with the card, and i can only cancel them after 3 months.

It took him just over 2 hours to open my account, now I'm paying for these policies that wasn't even explain to me. So from looking forward to opening the account, i completely regret and my father who has had an account for years is even thinking of closing it now, after spending 2 hours getting one thing done
