FNB Incompetence

I had an international application pending payment and FNB decided to cancel and re-issue my card without consent. The new card wouldn't have made it in time, so after a long discussion with an *********** staff member who said they have no idea how to fix it, I asked if they have a account similar to mine that I can open a new account with the same features and costs. The *********** staff member said yes, suggested the "Easy Account" and ensured me that there were ABSOLUTELY NO ACCOUNT FEES tied to the new extra account. So I went ahead and openend the account, but now FNB is essentially *****ing R58 every month for account fees when I was told there were no fees prior to opening it. If I was going to get an account that had fees, I'd have been on the platinum account for years now!

FNB, you're wasting my time and *****ing my money. I want this ********* nonsense reimbursed or the *********** fool of a staff member fired, preferable both!

Reviewer Update
I'm writing to inform readers that FNB was very proactive in responding to my complaint. I was phoned on the same day to discuss and resolve the matter. FNB agreed to refund the first account charge and change it to something lower, but acceptable for now. I'd revise the star rating to 3 stars due to the prompt response and assistance in solving the account charge, but will retain 2 negative stars due to the fact that the *********** salesman was unhelpful and that I pretty much had to be my own consultant every single time I've had to deal with that person.
