Service Fee charged more than once
<p>Good day</p> <p>It really seems like i am being charged more than once for the service fee that has been recently introduced.</p> <p>My previous Balance was R1826.53<br />I then Paid R600<br />New Balance should Be R1226.53 + R22.80 (service fee) = R1249.33</p> <p>My balance however was R1272.13 meaning i was charged the R22.80 TWICE</p> <p>Please rectify this and please tell me do i pay this service fee once the account is settled?<br />If so please tell me how do i close my account. I have had this account for a while and never have i been in arrears with my monthly payments. I pay on time and more than what is owing (please go check and see my account history)</p> <p>I can much rather go open an account with other retail stores who dont charge a service fee, im sure they will be happy to have a paying customer</p> <p>Please assist in this regard</p> <p>Account Number : ********** ********** 49303 </p> <p> </p> <p>I tweeted about the above 7 days ago and received a call from their social media department with a reference number and telling me someone will call me</p> <p>Im still waiting, and much to my horror after tweeting i was advised by friends that i was not forced to sign for this service fee and dont have to pay it. I was not given the option and when i asked do i have to sign for this i was told yes i have no other choice. Please exempt me from this service fee i was forced into signing</p> <p> </p> <p>Reference Number : ********** 019/GO</p> <p> </p> <p>Yacoob Chothia</p> <p> ********** </p>

I am finding the Edcon service to be particularly horrible. Below is the response i got from Edcon :

For your statement dated 07.12.2016 you made a payment of R600.00 and there was the service fee charge on the 07.12.2016 for R22.80 which bought your balance to R1272.13 the service fee charge was not duplicated.

Hi Leone
Im sorry but this Statement amounts dont make sense to me
Also i see you have completely ignored the exemption of the service fee as i was forced into signing this without being given the correct information
Please could you provide me with someone that can assist me and will have the time to call me to resolve this
