malpractice and ********* behavior and constant harassment

I have no had an issue with FinChoice until the end of my agreement. I made the final payment due on my account in October 2024 prior to this there were no "system glitches" as their consultants called it. My final payment was reversed without my knowledge or any communication being made to me by FinChoice notifying me of this error. I had been making manual payments towards the end as I changed over banks and no longer used my prior account. I contacted FinChoice in which they said manual payments can be made as they dont currently work with Discovery Bank. They had processed the refund but kept their admin and interest fees to my old account in which I no longer have access to. I contacted their team as I was being harassed by the service agents stating I have defaulted and not made any payments. During these phones calls the support agents acknowledged that the payment was made but the system has issued a refund due to it being too close to the debit order date however this was never an issue in any other prior months but however became an issue only on the final payment to settle the account. I was then told it is not their responsibility to cancel the refund and I need to contact my previous bank for that refund. I stated I had no access to this account. The following month I again paid them the settlement and the same issue has happened. I have laid a report against FinChoice with the Ombudsman and I will be going down the legal route due to their malpractice and ********* behavior and constant harassment by their support agents.

The matter is constantly being investigated. Your consultants agreed several times that they can see the payment has came in in regards to the settlement amounts and that they were going to get the back office team to amend and close off the account however, this has never happened and rather your support agents repeatedly call 10 times if not more a day querying why my account is in "arrears" and that I haven't made payment and only to repeat the cycle every time with them.
Close the account like the way it was said was going to happen.

Case and point proven as I was writing ym response to FinChoice yet again another support agent has called me asking me about why my account has not been paid. I asked to speak to someone senior and they basically cut the call and did not even try to address the matter. Call s are recorded as stated so please note that these will be requested.
